Centralised acquisition of operating and process data from machines and equipment using B&R's APROL process control system is now much easier. The new APROL PDA has a PDA browser, PDA function blocks and a PDA visualisation element. APROL PDA can be used alone as an off-the-shelf product or integrated into an existing APROL system.
Centralised data acquisition allows for comprehensive online performance monitoring and clear visual overviews. Powerful and reliable long-term archiving makes it possible to track quality for the entire manufacturing process. Flexible reports with integrated analysis functions facilitate efforts to optimise production. The combined display of continuous data, alarms and events in the TrendViewer make it easy to trace cause and effect.
For displaying visualisations, the new APROL VNC Viewer and VNC Viewer visualisation elements for embedding in a process graphic are now available. The VNC Viewer allows multiple machine visualisations - regardless of the respective platform - to be scaled as needed and displayed in a single process graphic. A web widget is also available that allows web pages to be embedded, for example for HMI applications based on HTML 5, IP cameras and business intelligence reports.
