SyTech has successfully completed testing of XLReporter for use with PCS7.
Reports can be produced by reading real time process data via the PCS7 OPC Servers and from process archives via the PCS7 OPC Historical Data Access (OPC HDA) Servers.
The OPC HDA interface provides raw and interpolated samples as well as every available calculation in the OPC HDA specification.
Additionally, when alarm and event reports are required, XLReporter interfaces with the PCS7 OLE DB provider to access data contained in the alarm archives.
"Siemens approved the XLReporter as a reporting option because of the benefits it will bring to our customers," said Teddy Tom, Senior Product Manager at Siemens.
"It is easy to use, integrates seamlessly with PCS7, does not require any programming and is based on the familiar environment of Excel".
With the XLReporter intuitive point-and-click configuration, users can easily create informative drill-down, summary and utilisation reports.
Completed reports are then distributed via webpages, networked printers, PDF files and/or e-mail.
XLReporter is fully compatible with Microsoft Vista and all other Windows operating systems.
