Alarms and Events:
Alert operators to critical conditions using the alarm feature:
- Organize by groups and priority
- Save alarm data to disk (including Compact Flash)
- Alarm format can be customized
- Keep track of total numbers of alarms and unacknowledged alarms
- Send emails about alarms
Animation:
Take command over graphics in a user friendly and intuitive interface. Paste images, and even rotate dynamically using custom rotation points. Fill bar graphs with color or adjust the scale of objects with easy-to-use configuration.
Other animations include ‘command’ (for touch, keyboard and mouse interaction), hyperlink, text data link, color, resize, transparency, and position.
Bar Graphs:
Versatile bar graphs can be customized to display meaningful data such as tank levels. Bar graphs can use color, and can move up, down, left, or right. You may also configure an ellipse or rectangle as a bar graph.
Business intelligence:
Transform raw data into meaningful information. Design custom dashboards in minutes with the Aveva Edge 2020 (formerly InduSoft Web Studio).
Database:
Connect to any SQL database (Microsoft SQL, MySQL, Sybase, Oracle), or Microsoft Access or Excel, and ERP/MES systems (including SAP), even from Windows Embedded Compact Edition. The flexible built-in interface doesn’t require knowledge of SQL. A patented solution allows for communication with SQL and relational databases running on any supported platform.
Drivers:
Use over 250 native communication drivers for PLCs, temperature controllers, motion controllers, bar code/2D/RFID readers, and many others such as MQTT (with Sparkplug B) and robots. Use native drivers, connect to an OPC server, or use AVEVA driver toolkits even to build your own drivers. Save time with comprehensive tag integration.
Email:
Send email (with attachments) or text messages that can be accessed from mobile devices. Get real-time information on alarms, process values, and other events. Full runtime supports SSL encryption.
Events:
Ensure traceability for operator-initiated actions or internal system activities. Log events such as security system changes (user logon or off), screen open/close, recipe/report operations, system warnings, and any tag value changes, including custom messages.
FDA traceability:
Take advantage of built-in functionality to create 21 CFR part 11 compliant projects with traceability and e-signatures. These features are often used for pharmaceutical and food applications but can be used for any application where traceability is a requirement.
FTP:
Automatically upload or download files during runtime to/from remote storage locations using the FTP protocol and flexible scripting functions. Configure FTP via scripting or the included interface.
Graphics and design tools:
Create screens to meet any application requirement using the tools in our graphic editors. Combine, animate objects to create any functionality required. Use the hundreds of symbols included Industrial Graphics libraries, and easily make projects across a product line share a consistent “look and feel”.
Historian:
The trend history is optimized, featuring data decimation designed to load millions of values from SQL Relational Databases. Easy to use tools provide quick access to Statistical
Process Control (SPC) values without any need for programming. InduSoft Web Studio offers add-on integration with the AVEVA™ Historian and support for AVEVA™ Insight.
Import wizards:
Convert whole applications from FactoryTalk™ ME/SE, PanelMate™, or PanelBuilder™32. Save time in conversion from a previously designed application to an Aveva Edge 2020 (formerly InduSoft Web Studio) application. Additional license required.
Intellectual property protection:
Protect your intellectual property with just a few mouse clicks. Screens, documents, scripts and worksheets can be individually password protected. This prevents unauthorized viewing or editing of your project or application.
JavaScript custom widgets:
Custom Widgets integrate 3rd party, reusable JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS interfaces properties and events to expand and enhance the graphical interface.
Mobile access:
A multiple document interface for this thin client allows you to access your graphical interface from any device with a browser that supports HTML5, such as iPads, iPhones, Android devices, Windows devices, and others.
