Configure, Build Graphics and
Administer Software Remotely
The unique feature, which distinguishes WebAccess from the competition, is that all engineering, database configuration, graphics building and software administration can be performed using a standard web browser as well.
WebAccess is a
"fully" web-based solution. WebAccess enables engineers, integrators and vendors
to support their systems remotely over an intranet or the Internet using an ordinary web browser.

The Project
Node consists of three elements:
1.
The Configuration Tool - The Project Node software
is a collection of ASP (Active Server Pages) organized into a
web site. These ASP pages act as the configuration tool enabling
ordinary web browsers to configure a WebAccess project.
2.
A Centralized Database of the configuration of each SCADA
node in the project. A copy of all graphics files, scripts and
other components is kept on the Project node.
Editing of the tag database or editing a graphic requires
a connection to the Project Node. The database and graphic files are physically located on the
Project Node. Changes to the database or graphic are not seen on
the SCADA nodes until the changes are "Downloaded" to
the SCADA nodes.
3. Web Server
- A standard ASP enabled Web Server is used. This can be any of
the standard web servers supplied with Windows 2000, 2003 or
XP with IIS (Internet Information
Server).
A connection to the Web Server
/ Project Node is only needed for:
- Configuration
- DRAW
- The initial connection
between a Client and the SCADA node
- When the refresh button is
pressed on the Client
- A Thin Client connection
Only Thin Clients,
Configuration (Project Manager) and DRAW require a continuous
connection with the Project Node.
