Taiwan's largest semiconductor manufacturer chooses WebAccess.

Broadwin Technology provided the supervisory system software for the toxic gas scrubbers at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp.'s FAB 12A. Engineering services were provided by Broadwin's Taiwan office.

The waste gas supervisory system uses 6 WebAccess SCADA nodes communicating with 504 Koyo PLCs. Each SCADA node monitors 84 Koyo PLCs. Managers, engineers and operators can monitor the system using an ordinary web browser (IE 6.0) from anywhere in the FAB. The system was implemented to increase the safety of the toxic gas system.

Using a standard web-browser, users can view and control automation equipment used in manufacturing facilities, industrial process plants and building automation systems. Unique to WebAccess, all configuration and deployment can be performed remotely through a standard web browser including IO configuration, graphics building and remote software administration.

WebAccess is available for desktop computers and laptops running Windows CE, 98, 2000, Server 2003, and Windows XP. Internet Explorer 6.0 supports all features of WebAccess.
