Web Browser Client to View and Control
Using a standard Web browser, users can view and control automation equipment used in industrial, manufacturing, process and building automation systems. Data is displayed to users in real-time with dynamically updated graphics using full-motion animation.

Engineering Tool independent of software version installed at customers’ site. 
An ordinary web browser is the engineering tool! Engineers & technicians always have the right version of software needed.

Distributed Architecture
SCADA nodes run independent of any other node. Each SCADA node communicates to automation equipment using communication drivers supplied with WebAccess.

Centralized Database Server
The Project Node is a centralized database server of configuration data. A copy of the database and graphics of all SCADA nodes is kept on the Project Node.

Enhanced Security 
Users can be assigned various privileges to restrict display and data access. WebAccess uses the Area of Responsibility concept to restrict changes to data.

Vector-based Graphics
Vector-based graphics provide smaller file sizes and faster downloads. Import AutoCAD DXF, Bitmaps, JPEGs and GIFs. AutoCAD DXF files can be imported, edited, filled and animated.

ZOOM graphics in Run time 
Vector Graphics allow users to zoom in to magnify any display up to a power of 8x.

Video and Audio
Web-enabled Video cameras allow operators and users to monitor equipment and facilities using the WebAccess client. Live full-motion Video,  audio and Windows Media are viewed in same Graphic display as Trends, Alarms. Pushbuttons and Live Data.

ActiveX
WebAccess uses an ActiveX control running inside Internet Explorer to provide real-time, dynamic data and graphics with full animation.

Thin Client 
WebAccess provides a "true" Thin Client interface for PDA, Pocket PCs and others not wishing to install our ActiveX Client plug-in. The Thin Client interface is an alternate to the full animation Client. No special software or operating system is required.

Global database
The "tags" and real-time data from all SCADA nodes in a project are viewable on all nodes.

Email notification of Alarms 
Email notification of Alarms is a standard feature in WebAccess. No third party software is required. Tags can be individually selected to generate an email, assigned recipient email address or use global email recipients. Alarms can be "acknowledged" via a reply email.

Pager, Wireless PCS and Cell Phone text messaging for Alarms and Events
Pagers, wireless PCS and Cell Phones that can receive text messages can also be used for notification of Alarms and events. No third party software is required. Tags can be individually selected to generate an message to a specific recipient address or use global recipients. 

Schedule Alarm Email and Page recipients by Shift, Day of Week, and Holidays 
Schedule who receives Alarm email and text message pages based on Time of day, Shift, Day of week, and Holiday schedules.

Scheduled Reports 
Scheduled Reports include Shift, Daily and Monthly reports that are automatically generated from the Real-time data. Users & Operators can View the current and previous reports using a web browser. Reports are optionally emailed and printed automatically by the WebAccess SCADA node. The output of the Scheduled Reports can be copied and pasted into EXCEL, WORD, and other general-purpose office applications as a formatted table or spreadsheet.

Data Logging, Historical and Real-Time Trending 
Each tag is logged to a separate file on the SCADA node hard drive; this allows "new tags" to be added to a Historical Trend display without losing history of other tags. A "Real-Time Only" trend reduces disk space requirements.

Alarm Handling Package 
WebAccess provides a notification system to inform operators of process and equipment status including summaries, logs, sorting by priority, alarm response graphic, text messaging to pagers and cell phones, email notification of alarms and Text-to-Speech Alarm Annunciation.

Display Groups 
Local SCADA nodes support a non-web browser version intended for standalone architectures and control room users.

Recipe Function 
Recipes provide an easy method for operators and users to change the value of hundreds of settings.

Scheduler 
The Scheduler provides control and setpoint changes based on time and date.  Lights, Fans, and HVAC equipment are turned on and off based on the time, day of week and date. The Scheduler is also used in process control and manufacturing applications.

DDE, OPC and ODBC interfaces 
DDE, NetDDE, ODBC and OPC are Microsoft communications standards to exchange data with your automation equipment, spreadsheets, databases or 3 Party software packages.

Scripts using Tcl, JAVA and Visual Basic
Scripts in WebAccess use the open source programming languages Tcl, JAVA scripts or Visual Basic scripting and allow users to develop customized actions, calculations and reports.

Database Import / Export
The database export and import to EXCEL allow users to create and modify Tags and Blocks in a spreadsheet using copy, paste, edit and other EXCEL tools. Databases can be imported from other HMI packages. Tags and Nodes can be imported from other WebAccess Projects to allow aggregation of multiple facilities into a larger Project or to scale down and make a node independent.

Email custom reports, logs and messages WebAccess will email reports and logs generated with Scripts and Pushbutton Keymacros.

Customize Toolbars with Icons and animated buttons 
Use Microsoft Icon files (*.ico) to build tool bars. These can be imported from any application. Animate Toolbars buttons built in DRAW to provide flashing, color change, text changes or any animation.

System Log 
Monitor who connects to the project and SCADA nodes with web browser. 

Centralized Logs 
Log real-time data, alarms, and operator actions from all SCADA nodes to a central ODBC compliant database including: Analog Data Log, Discrete Data Log, System Log, Alarm Log and Operator Action Log.

HTML Reports 
Generate HTML Reports using menu-based queries of Trends and Centralized ODBC Logs based on Date, Time, Tag, Node including: Analog Data Log, Discrete Data Log, System Log, Alarm Log and Operator Action Log.  Copy and paste these html reports to EXCEL, Word, etc. 

WebAccess is available in multiple languages including English, French, Japanese, Korean, simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.

Client
The WebAccess Client plug-in is available for desktop computers, and laptops running Microsoft Windows CE, 98, 2000, XP (Home and Professional), Server 2003 and Vista (including Home, Business and Ultimate versions) using Internet Explorer 5.5 and later. Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 support all features of the WebAccess client plug-in. The Client provides full-animation graphics and dynamically updated real-time data.
