Advantech\'s WebAccess/SCADA is a comprehensive, 100% web-based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software solution designed to facilitate industrial automation and the development of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. It offers a robust platform for real-time data acquisition, monitoring, and control across diverse industrial processes.
Key Features:
Web-Based Architecture: WebAccess/SCADA enables remote engineering, monitoring, and control through standard web browsers, eliminating the need for additional software installations. This architecture supports centralized project databases and distributed SCADA systems, allowing users to manage and configure systems remotely over the internet.
Extensive Protocol and Device Support: The software supports a wide range of protocols, including Modbus, OPC UA, OPC DA, Ethernet/IP, DNP3, SNMP, and BACnet. It also offers driver support for major Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs), I/O modules, Computer Numerical Controls (CNCs), network switches, and various computer platforms.
Open Interfaces for IoT Integration: WebAccess/SCADA provides open interfaces such as RESTful API and SignalR, facilitating seamless integration with third-party software like Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This openness supports the development of customized IoT applications across various vertical markets.
Advanced Visualization and Reporting: The platform features an HTML5-based intelligent dashboard that enables cross-platform and cross-browser data analysis. It also supports powerful Excel-compatible reporting, allowing users to create custom-defined templates and generate periodic reports on demand.
Mobile Accessibility: WebAccess/SCADA offers a dedicated mobile application compatible with Android and iOS devices. This app provides remote monitoring, control capabilities, and alarm push notifications, ensuring users can manage operations on-the-go.
Integration with Mapping Services: The software integrates real-time data with Google Maps and GPS tracking, enabling users to associate site data with specific locations. This feature is particularly useful for applications requiring geographic visualization, such as fleet management and infrastructure monitoring.
Edge-to-Cloud Connectivity: WebAccess/SCADA acts as a gateway for collecting data from field equipment and transferring it to cloud applications via MQTT publish/subscribe mechanisms. This functionality supports edge computing applications and facilitates data exchange between on-premises systems and cloud platforms.
Software Architecture:
The WebAccess/SCADA system comprises several key components:
Project Node: Serves as the development platform and web server, hosting system configurations, project databases, and graphics. It enables remote project development and maintenance through a web browser.
SCADA Node: Facilitates real-time communication with automation equipment via various protocols, providing data access for remote clients and supporting control operations.
ViewDAQ Client: Allows users to monitor and control the SCADA node through a web browser, offering dynamic graphics, historical trends, and alarm information. It supports real-time data visualization and interaction.
