of the most flexible HMI products on the market. Scripts can be configured to execute based on numerous parameters, such as specific process conditions, data changes, application and windows events, keyboard strokes and ActiveX events. Users can also develop a library of scripts that can be reused, simplifying the application and resulting in decreased initial engineering and application maintenance time as well as deployment.
Data Level Security -- customers who have adopted Wonderwares Industrial Application Server also enjoy secure integration between InTouch software and Industrial Application Server applications, all the way down to the data level FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Functionality built-in authentication fields, security script functions and variables make it easier for users to comply with government regulations
The QuickScript Editor is simple-to-use and extremely Enhanced Password Encryption -- passwords powerful, enabling complete customization of entered through the application can be encrypted applications with common expressions and structures, and masked to provide a greater level of security such as greater than, less than, for-next and ifand protection against unwarranted access to the then-else as well as advanced functions including application mathematical expressions and string conversions. FactoryFocus Read Only Software a viewonly runtime version of the InTouch application that increases system security because no data can be changed No Security for non-critical applications and specific situations where security of the information is not needed
A built-in validation engine enables the user to check scripts before deploying them, preventing runtime errors. In addition, for more advanced users, scripts can be written and edited directly in the script editor, or cut and pasted from other applications, encouraging re-use and saving engineering time. The QuickScript Editor gives users the flexibility to quickly and easily customize applications. From novice to expert programmer, everyone benefits from InTouch scripting.
Alarm Flexibility
Users have a lot of flexibility when configuring and viewing alarms, including Alarm Inhibitor Tags that facilitate the enabling or disabling of alarms directly or indirectly Alarm suppression, which prohibits the display of alarm information on a specific view node and can be applied to single alarm classes, tags or groups System-wide disablement, which can block alarm activity at the source
Alarm Toolkit
The Alarm Toolkit enables third parties, system integrators (SIs) and end-users to enhance InTouch systems by writing custom Alarm Providers and Alarm Consumers that work with their devices. Alarm Providers determine alarm conditions and publish the alarms to the InTouch Distributed Alarm Subsystem. Alarm Consumers are clients that receive information from the InTouch Distributed Alarm Subsystem. By using the toolkit, a hardware device interface can be constructed and integrated into an InTouch environment, allowing the hardware device to publish and manage alarms using the Distributed Alarm Subsystem.
SuiteLink Time-Stamping
Easy-to-use Wizards and dialog boxes make alarm configuration simple to implement. An InTouch user gains complete control over the current alarms in a system and retrieval of historical alarm information. InTouch 9.5 software offers alarming up to the millisecond -- when the alarm is generated, not when the consumer receives the alarm.
Alarm Database
The InTouch Distributed Alarm Subsystem supports logging alarms and events to a Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, 2000 or MDSE database. This function gives users the power of a relational database regardless of the application size or project budget. Support for AlarmSuite users is still available. However, to enable maximum flexibility, the InTouch 9.5 HMI also provides migration tools from existing AlarmSuite databases to the Wonderware Alarm Database.
Alarm Acknowledgement
InTouch software offers three alarm acknowledgement models: Traditional, condition-oriented alarms Event alarms, which are compatible with the OPC alarm model and require an acknowledgment for the most recent transition to an alarmed state
The InTouch HMI offers a variety of deployment methods to meet customer needs today while enabling a path for future growth at all times preserving engineering effort and time.
LEVERAGE THE COMBINED POWER OF INTOUCH SOFTWARE AND THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION SERVER TO GAIN SIGNIFICANT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
InTouch 9.5 software and the Industrial Application Server are both built upon the ArchestrA architecture, which enables reusable, distributed application development with centralized deployment and maintenance -- resulting in best-of-breed applications with the lowest lifecycle costs. Used together, the InTouch HMI and Industrial Application Server provide an information and automation application environment that supports the following activities: Development of advanced HMI templates that can be easily created, replicated and modified; A single tag namespace that enables the addition of client and server computers that seamlessly connect to and integrate with the application without requiring any additional engineering effort; Remote, centralized software deployment, change management and monitoring that eliminates the need to physically go to HMI computers to make changes; and An active (real-time), deterministic, plant-wide visualization system that can read and write values to a large number of PLCs and control devices. The above features can give you, our valued InTouch customers, a significant competitive advantage!
SUPPORT VIRTUALLY ANY APPLICATION WITH EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE AND SCALABLE ARCHITECTURAL OPTIONS
InTouch software is used throughout the world to fulfill the requirements of many different environments. System solutions range from singlenode visualization stations to multi-plant, multicountry applications and SCADA solutions that require visualization for remote, unmanned locations.
InTouch software running in a Terminal Services environment empowers industrial employees to reduce the time and effort they spend on software administration and management. At the same time, they can use the most up-to-date versions of the application software with a high degree of reliability and security. Industrial Application Server Architecture Wonderwares Industrial Application Server uses the InTouch View graphics engine for process visualization. The InTouch View graphics engine, combined with the Industrial Application Server, contains all of the functionality and features of the InTouch HMI, plus the productivity and cost savings of the Industrial Application Server. The Industrial Application Server greatly reduces the engineering effort and time required to maintain and deploy systems within one plant or across multiple plants.
Distributed History -- Personnel can dynamically specify a different historical file or data source for each pen of a trend chart. This allows an operator to view both native InTouch history and IndustrialSQL NAD also facilitates changes to the master application Server history in the same trend. Distributed history through: trending enables swift analysis of historical information on one screen, saving time and Online modification changes no need to shut improving the analysis of multiple variables. down the running application Dynamic operator alerting allows the operator to Dynamic Resolution Conversion (DRC) -accept or delay configuration changes Develop an application in one screen resolution and Fast downloads only changes are downloaded
run the application in another, without affecting the original application. Applications can also run at a user-defined resolution, instead of the display resolution, and take advantage of multiple monitors within an application without worrying about where the windows will appear. Dynamic Resolution Conversion enables users to save time by deploying applications anywhere, on displays of any size, without redesigning, copying or modifying the original application. Distributed Time Zones This feature provides services to both the distributed history and alarm systems, permitting value viewing in the local time. This is important because it eliminates confusion over what time events actually occurred.
