First OPC-enabled HMI Software for both Windows NT & CE Now Available on the Market!

Integrating PC computing with Human Machine Interface, Advantech GeniDAQ is the first OPC-enabled application software for industrial data acquisition that supports both Windows NT and Windows CE. It features a 32-bit multi-threaded technology for optimized application performance, an OPC (OLE for Process Control) standard compliant driver interface for diverse I/O device connections, and TCP/IP networking for real-time data integration across Windows NT and Windows CE platforms.

For customer's cost concern, Advantech GeniDAQ offers a scaleable HMI platform for WinNT/WinCE to help trim your total cost of ownership. It offers the same set of design tools for a whole range of applications and thus, conveys the same "look and feel" to your diverse applications. As a result, this will minimize your training, development and maintenance costs.

Advantech GeniDAQ leverages the industry OPC standard to provide Plug-and-Play connectivity with I/O devices, and it is freely bundled with ADAM OPC server and serial ModBus RTU OPC server. Most major programmable logic controller (PLC) vendors also provide OPC servers for their hardware. Users can get OPC server vendors information from www.opcfoundation.org or www.industrialvortec.com.

Advantech GeniDAQ includes Advantech I/O drivers that support plug-in DA&C, ADAM-4000/5000 modules, MIC-2000 and PCM series modules. The best thing is that you have no need to pay extra money for these drivers, nor worry about integration between applications and drivers. GeniDAQ provides a hardware integration that is both seamless and proven - no programming is required.

With its versatile set of pre-defined control and display icons, Advantech GeniDAQ can significantly reduce system development time. Just four steps (select, connect, configure and run) are all you need to build a graphic visualization of your data acquisition and control system. In fact, our customers have reported that they required less than one hour to learn and build a simple application with data acquisition, trend display, and file I/O capabilities.

Based on the world's most popular macro language, Microsoft Visual Basic for Application, Advantech GeniDAQ provides powerful and easy-to-learn programming tools to help you develop complex applications. Over 600 commands are available to perform almost every function you will need--calculation, reading/writing files, DDE and ODBC, etc. It also allows users to perform a rich spectrum of tasks-data calculation and analysis; link with Excel and Access applications; control task operations; and access real-time data.
