SCADA

SCADA screens are what an operator watches after the channels exist. A tag carries a name, a unit, a range and a scan rate. Alarms, mimics, recipes and a historian sit on top of those tags. MatDeck draws the screen in the same environment that acquired the data, so the tag and the widget are not maintained in two projects.

This group has 12 products: the dashboard builder, the tag database, alarms, process mimics, the historian, recipes, ready-made operator screens, a PLC tag bridge, a remote-station overview, scheduled reports, user roles and a runtime that shows the screens without the editor.

Set-points written on the screen go back to the tag. A viewer role can watch the same screen without that write. The historian reads the samples the acquisition group already logged.
