nGENERALVDS is a software package that runs under a Windows operating system and implements a Web-based human machine interface, OPC server functions, data acquisition from a variety of controllers and devices, and historical data management. Other features include:•VDSViewerisrequiredastheplatformtorunoperationandmonitorwindowsimplementedasJavaapplication,offeringplatform-andscale-independentHMIclients.
•AllwindowdataarecreatedonandstoredinasingleHMIserverandHMIclientsdonotcontainwindowfiles,namely,theyarethinclients.Changestowindowfilesonlyrequireworkattheserver;thereisnoneedformodificationsateachclient.
•IntegratedmonitoringofdataofmultipledataserversispossiblefromanHMIclient
•IntegratedinformationofmultipleVDSscanbeviewedatapersonalcomputerusingHMIclientfunctions.
•AllowsoperationandmonitoringviatheInternet,anintranet,and/oraprivateLAN;eveniflocatedbeyondafirewall.
•Securityfunctionsallowrestrictionofaccessaccordingtooperatorprivilegelevel,andautomaticgenerationofoperationlogs,thusassuringsystemanddatasecurity.
