Scalability.
Movicon™ 11 is an all-in-one software platform from Windows™ CE to Windows™ 7 (Win32/64). What is so special about Movicon ™11 is that you only need to have this one platform in your company to use for micro applications in HMI terminals or /and medium to big applications for manufacturing plants.
Openness.
Movicon™ 11 is completely based on XML. Projects are simple XML files, which can also be opened and edited with other Editors. This platform is always open to integration and customization with the world of Windows™ applications. Projects can be grouped in hierarchical structures and distributed or shared.
Security.
Movicon™ 11 guarantees the maximum data security. Projects, even though based on XML, can be encrypted with 128 bit coding algorithms. The FDA CFR21 Part 11 normative is completely integrated in the platform, making it extremely simple to create FDA ready applications. The User Password manager guarantees access security by level and/or area. The Visual Source Safe integration guarantees that all work is kept under top security.
Standards.
Movicon™ 11 is completely based on standard technologies, making sure that your investments are well safeguarded. The XML, ODBC, OPC, VBA, SOAP, Web Services, TCP-IP and SQL technologies have been integrated in the platform to guarantee easy data access and transparency.
Performances.
Movicon™ 11 has enhanced performances by renewing its concept of the “exception-based” technology and graphics engine based on SVG (Scalable Vectorial Graphics).
Connectivity.
Movicon™ 11 has implemented a new generation of communication drivers. These drivers include functionalities such as the automatic Tag importer, remote connectivity via modem, multi-station concept for point-to-point protocols, the bridging concept for teleservices in PLCs, prompt cable testing. These drivers guarantee full configurability and possibility to communicate on event with custom VBA logic as well. In addition to the free and included driver library, Movicon™ 11 provides you with total connectivity via OPC DA, with both the OPC DA and OPC XML DA technologies, and both as Client and Server.
Very Efficient Networking.
Movicon™ 11 strengthens the already advanced Networking technology of Movicon, with further enhanced efficiency and performances based on emergent and multiplatform technologies such as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and SOA (Service Oriented Application). The Movicon ™ project can be Server and Client indifferently. Client projects can be distributed and run locally on the client while also residing on the central server. Further to this, the Movicon™ networking can be applied to any business network integration according to network administrator requirements: in addition to TCP-IP, the UDP and HTTP protocols are also supported. The networking feature automatically manages remote connections via RAS. Movicon™ 11 integrates the Web Services technology, consenting information distribution support to public networks (over the internet) with security provided by the adopted “Firewall-friendly” technologies.
Web-enabled Architecture.
Movicon™ 11 has renewed its Web Client technology. Its innovative architecture, based on JAVA (which integrates well with the XML, SVG, Web Services technologies), consents server access using internet browsers in any platform (Windows™, Linux, Palm, PocketPC and Javaphones telephones thanks to J2ME). Multiuser , bidirectionality, performances and security are also guaranteed to help costs and maintenance reductions. Servers can be both Windows™ Vista/XP and Windows™ CE.
Integrated Languages.
Object oriented programming may not always be able to deliver solutions to cover the entire complexity of out-of-the-norm requirements. Even though the normal Scada platform’s purpose in life is to also reduce the use of code and script to a minimum, this may not always be the case. In certain situations you have no choice but to use code and script for performing calculations, functions or customizing the more complex functionalities, such as those used for accessing databases, managing ActiveX or OCX, or managing special peripherals, algorithms, calculation functions, and other.
But don’t lose heart, this is not the case with Movicon™ 11 : The built-in languages offer the best and unmatched solutions whatever your need may be:
- Both VBA and VB.Net Languages
- Expression Generators
- Instruction List Codes (IL)
- Synapsis Languages.
SoftLogic IEC-61131-3
Movicon™ 11 integrates the Logicon SoftPLC to guarantee a one-only programming environment whether on the SCADA/HMI side or SoftPLC side. This integration consents you to synchronize just the one Tag DB with just the one editor, saving you time in developing gaining a significant potentiality enhancements. The SoftLogic provides you with a powerful programming environment with the 5 IEC1131 languages, powerful debug and documentation functions, and a real-time runtime, for both Win32 and WinCE.
