Distributed Client / Server Architecture

The SCADA system conceits of Advantech FX software running on one or more hardware platforms in a Client / Server architecture. A high performance real time data base consisting of plant and production data from process connected devices (such as ADAM 4000 and ADAM 5000/485 modules) is maintained on the Advantech FX data base servers which provides the information in real time to client operator stations and other computers.

Intuitive Graphical Interface

Advantech FX provides you with high-resolution, color graphics and sophisticated windows technology. Dynamos, a powerful object-oriented display builder with a library of pre-built objects, lets engineers easily develop custom displays in the Microsoft Windows environment. The Advantech FX provides different means of display navigation, such as toolbar icons, push buttons, and multiple displays, allowing the user to choose their preferred way to interact with the system and obtain real-time status through dynamic graphic windows.

Alarming and Alarm Management

Advantech FX provides comprehensive alarm management features to en-sure a secure operating environment. You can assign different alarm types and priorities to each point in the Advantech FX database. An associated display capability allows linking of a user-defined display to each point. When abnormal conditions arise, the alarm display will notify operators immediately. According to the detail alarm summaries and accurate displays, operators can send out alarm messages through PC-network and solve the problem in the most proper and efficient way. Alarm messages can also be reported by printers, screen displays, or stored to AFX alarm files.

Real-time and Historical Trending

To collect and to analyze process data with efficiency, Advantech FX provide you with the trending capabilities for both real-time and historical information. This information can be presented in different formats including bar graphs, multi-plots, X-Y scatter plots, numeric tables, and group trends. 64 collection groups are available for defining, and each group can have up to 80 tag capabilities. You can compare relationships between historical and current values, identifing deviations in process behavior and taking corrective actions in time.

AFX-the most cost-effective SCADA software for your operations

Advantech SCADA System Solution To seize the opportunities in today's highly competitive environment, Advantech FX serves as your best choice among all PC-based HMI / SCACA software.
