SCADA software

PcVue software from ARC Informatique has a number of innovations that help to reduce the cost of running and implementing process control projects. PcVue V.8.2 is a SCADA tool that is compatible with AutoCAD and enables the conversion of FactoryLink data. It also supports VMware, which allows a single PC to manage several virtual machines, where before several dozen machines were needed.

PcVue is a SCADA software application that provides advanced ergonomics and tools based on object-oriented technology. It considerably reduces the development and implementation time of industrial process control applications where it is used for assembly lines in chemical, pharmaceutical and agri-food plants.

PcVue V.8.2 introduces the Smart Generator tool. Since the creation of this control application, Smart Generator has allowed the use of data from software platforms such as Wago Codesys, Schneider Electric Unity, ISaGRAF, Echelon or other types of PLC program to create automatic man/machine interfaces (object models, behaviours, etc). With version V.8.2, PcVue integrates the existing data of control platforms such as FactoryLink, as well as AutoCAD files and more general drawing files (.dwg or.dxf). Thus from the AutoCAD files, one can automatically generate control models and associated objects.

PcVue V.8.2 now also supports the VMware virtual environment. Instead of having several machines distributed around the control site, which are generally under-used and rapidly becoming obsolete, a single central PC is used to host the other machines.

The web services connectors have been improved through an open web connection interface that allows third-party applications, such as ERP or MES, to connect easily to PcVue V.8.2, independent of the number of machines or their geographic location.
