Pure Web
The provision of information independent of location and daytime has become the paradigm of all
spheres of our live in the Internet age. This requirement expands within the industrial automation in terms
of role- and person-selective operation and process manipulation. Conventional control and operating
systems emerged along other requirements and on the basis of older, limiting technologies, making
their suitability clearly limited for today’schallenges.

State-Of-The-Art Technology
By using the latest technologies when developing atvise scada, classical limitations have been over-
come: now the Internet serves the automation world - the visualization is based on pure web technolo-
gy. The implementation of valid industrial and communication standards (e.g. OPC UA) allows for
example customers to reduce the efforts in project and maintenance to a minimum.

Open Standards
By focusing on established standards (such as HTML5, SVG - vector graphics, TCP / IP) the generated user
interface is displayed and executed on all popular Web browsers without special additives, such as
individual plug-ins, ActiveX, Java or Silverlight. This means added value in various ways: Web browsers are
everywhere device independently available - whether on the particular facility level or in the case of
remote services. Eliminating cumbersome client installations and updates means less effort for operati-
on and maintenance.

Maximum possibilities in graphic design along with maximum access security are the values of benefit
that the latest stage of expansion of the Internet (HTML5) and the smartphone era offer. atvise scada is
completely based on standards rather than the makeshift "to connect to the outside," therefor securing
highest performance, scalability and simplicity.

SCADA Functions

atvise scada in general supports all typical SCADA functionalities in regards to alarming, historisation, trending, user
management, multi-language. etc.
For specific requirements an additional high performance client-and server-side Java Script option is available.
This system has been specifically designed for professional automation and control systems and due to its generic
structure can be utilized in all fields and industries. The modern and efficient design allows scaling from small appli-
cations with only a few dozens data-points to world-scale plants with more than 1.5 million process variables.

Powerful Engineering Tool

The project and configuration is done with the engineering tool atvise builder from any PC. Via LAN or Internet the
tool accesses the server and allows online, during ongoing operation of the plant, e.g. the creation of data objects,
the configuration of alarms or the drawing of process images.

A variety of preconfigured standard objects and panel layouts are available. Their graphics
have been created with the onboard-tools of the atvise builders editor and therefore are com-
pletely customizable by the user. The user can also create own objects and apply the
pre-configured dynamizations to these elements.

The designed user interfaces are immediately and without any modification applicable on all
target systems - regardless of screen resolution, operating system or Web browser. Refresh rates
and response surpass all previous experience with Web applications and even conventional
supervisory control systems.

Licensing – CCDs

atvise® products allow any web browser (client) to access an atvise® visualization/scada runtime. The licensing of
atvise® scada is based on “Concurrent Connected Data Points” (CCD): this is the total number of accessed and
viewed data points within all concurrent visualized displays in web browsers, that are connected to one licensed
atvise® runtime. As an example: 50 CCDs equal five concurrent users each viewing 10 data points in the opened
display in the webbrowser.

atvise® scada licenses are offered in CCD packages: 50 CCDs, 150CCDs, 1500 CCDs …
