The new hardware platform is only the beginning.
The new ViewBuilder 8000 Development Environment with its wide range of communication drivers - including Allen Bradley Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP - takes maximum advantage of the new platform.
Sophisticated, new object management tools make ViewBuilder 8000 a quick and efficient environment in which to develop the application.
Traditional HMI functions such as Pop-up Windows, Bar Graphs, Numerical, Text and Data Entry Displays and Animation are combined with comprehensive alarm management, historical and real time event, trend and recipe functions; bringing performance and functionality typical of large scale SCADA systems.
A user configurable operator log-in screen is underpinned with a 7 level password protection system and individual object protection functions to bring a high level of system security.
Supporting up to eight different languages with Windows TrueType font and Unicode the PowerView 8000 is ideal for system integrators working in the international markets.
Communication performance is greatly improved with global data access - an enhanced data exchange mechanism - introduced through peer-to-peer communication allowing PowerView 8000 Operator Stations to communicate with one another and have access to control devices attached to peers in the network.
Up to 16 different PLC device types can be connected simultaneously as well as offering OPC options.
Application testing on the development PC can be carried out during and at the end of the development project with the in-built on-line and off-line simulation.
