Hitex are pleased to announce the latest addition to the Softing range of Industrial Automation products: the recently launched Echograph gateway.
Echograph is a reliable, industry-hardened gateway providing real-time visualisation of process and manufacturing data including logging capability. Data can be both displayed and modified in a web browser through an easy-to-use graphical human machine interface (HMI) – without modification to existing controller systems.
The Echograph device provides an easy and cost-effective way to visualise process, manufacturing and quality data via an HMI based on native web technology, in any standard web browser (no plug-ins required) – with no need for an OPC Server or a complex SCADA system. Based on scalable, resolution-independent vector graphics, the data can be consistently displayed on a wide variety of network enabled devices, e.g. desktop PC, laptop, smart phone, tablet PC or an industrial control panel.
Echograph periodically polls and then visualises data from the PLCs.,so that the operator is always presented with the latest status including unexpected events or conditions. The graphical HMI allows the operator to control and adjust production parameters
Echograph not only provides monitoring and control of a process, but also supports continuous and configurable data logging to a local SD card,.
The powerful graphical HMI is fully customisable through the user-friendly free ‘atvise webMI Builder’ which includes a library of predefined ready-to-use visualisation components, such as gauges, switches, sliders and displays and allows the creation of fully customised objects and web elements .
