When describing Movicon X we can seriously and finally  talk about  “Web-enabled automation".

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

  Movicon  X drastically reduces development times:

 

Trying to reduce time spent in developing is usually one of the main objectives of any Company using Scada/HMI systems.  Movicon X has been designed to provide the user with all the tools needed to save time in developing and to safeguard their work.

  • Auto-Project configurator: Movicon X has provided a Wizard, an interactive help utility, to automatically define settings and create structures.

  • Projects based on XML. Every element, object or resource of the project can be copied or dragged into other editors (Excel, editors XML and  others) to see all the textual properties, edit them and re-paste them in the Movicon project. The projects can be edited externally as with  any other XML file. Projects can also be setup and dynamically distributed in  project structures  (Parent and child project relationships).

  • Object Programming: Just one class of vectorial graphic objects (with SVG technology) is all you will ever need for your screens, included with dynamic properties for the various platforms on which the project is to be run. Powerful,  “captivating” object graphics, complete with lots of properties, functions and graphical animations. 

  • Symbol and Object libraries. Movicon X has an enormous library of ready-to-use symbols and Templates which can be cusomized or added to. The Power Template technology allows the effective re-use of symbols, permitting functions such as the “heredity” or auto-creation of the symbiol's associated Tags, Alarms and Data Loggers within the project.  

  • Automatic Tag importing. No need to reset variables in both the supervisor or PLC as this is now done by the importer function.  Importing and connecting to the PLC is automatic for  Simatic S7®, Rockwell®, Mitsubishi®, just to mention a few.

  • Just one single development environment. Movicon X is totally designed to satisfy all designer engineer needs  by providing a one only software for  both  HMI projects on WinCE or PocketPC terminals, as well as for complex Scada systems and for distributed architecture and web-based remote and telecontrol systems.

  • Direct connectivity. By means of efficient drivers, Movicon X guarantees perfect connectivity with all the most important automation system manufacturers (Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Omron, Saia, etc.)

  • Powerful Debug functions. As any design engineer knows only too well that  it is essential to have the right  tools in order to analyse their applications thoroughly. Movicon X is completely capable of meeting these needs by  being integrated with powerful project documentation and on-line debug functions to carry out analysis, simulation and tests.

 

 

 

Features

 

  • Simplicity.
    Movicon X is a lot easier and more userfriendly  than any other product of its kind, due to its very  innovative workspace and integrated auto-configuration and tag imporing tools. Movicon X not only makes designing pleasurable in obtaining great visual impact out of your application, it also saves you a great deal of time in developing. 

  • Scalability.
    Movicon X is unique because it offers just  one software platform, from Windows CE to Windows XP.  May it be for micro-applictions on HMI terminals or/and for medium-large applications for process plants, Movicon X is the only software you will ever need in your company.  

  • Openness.
    Movicon X is entirely based on XML. The projects are simple XML files, and therefore can be opened and edited with other editors. This platform has always been open for integration and customization with the world of Windows applications. Projects can be grouped into  structures and distributed. 

  • Security.
    Movicon X guarantees maximum data safety. The projects, although based on XML, can be crypted with 128 bit algorithms. Movicon X is FDA CFR21 Part 11 ready making it much easier for you to  create applications with  FDA validation. The renewed User Password  management guarantees safe access by level and/or area.

  • Standards.
    Movicon X is entirely based on standard technology to safeguard your investment. The XML, ODBC, OPC, VBA, SOAP, Web Services, TCP-IP, UDP, http, SQL technologies have been integrated in the platform to guarantee you easy access and data transparency.

  • Performances.
    Movicon X has increased its kernel's absolute performance to  2.5 times more than its already hi-performing  earlier version. This has been made possible  thanks to the  renewed concept of thread pooling and new graphics engine based on SVG (Scalable Vectorial Graphics). The new  VBA logic engine has also doubled its performance speed. 

  • Connectivity.
    Movicon X introduces a new generation of communication drivers. The new drivers include functions such as the automatic Tag  importing, remote connectivity via modem, the multi-station concept for point-to-point protocols, the bridging concept for remote service on PLC, immediate cable testing. The drivers guarantee complete configurability and the possibility of communicating on event in  custom mode by using VBA logics as well. In addition to the free driver library included, Movicon X also provides complete connectivity via OPC, in preview of  new OPC XML DA technology, as well as maintaining and consolidating the OPC DA Server and Client communications. 

  • Efficient Networking.
    Movicon X has completely renewed its integrated networking management.  The sophisticated technology adopted, without compromises, increases efficiency and performances due to the use of emerging and multiplatform technologies such as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and SOA (Service Oriented Application). In addition to TCP, tt also supports protocols such as  UDP and HTTP. The networking automatically supports remote connections via RAS. Movicon X also included  the Web Services technology so that information distribution  can finally support public networks (Internet)  guaranteeing safety with the adopted  “firewall-friendly” technology.

  • Web-enabled Architecture.
    Movicon X has renewed the Web Client technology by incorporating the  JAVA technology that integrates perfectly with XML, SVG, Web Services. This new architecture allows server access by means of using internet browsers on any platform (Windows, Linux, Palm and Javaphones mobile phones enabled with J2ME).  Multiusers, bidirectionality, performance and security are all guaranteed.
