Plant View Suite

PlantView 3 HMI SCADA is empowered by a complete suite of modular components based on OPC technology and on Client/Server architecture.
It allows a full plant and/or machine management, improving the integration and data sharing among different information systems within a company.

Plant View HMI SCADA: OPC based Scada package

Together with PlantView 3 HMI SCADA the following applications are part of Plant View Suite:

OPC Servers

PlantView can be directly connected with OPC servers from different hardware suppliers (PLC, DCS, controllers)

FAST has developed and develops its own OPC servers based on the following protocols:

  • ModBus RTU 
  • ModBus TCP/IP
  • Siemens S7 MPI
  • Siemens S7 TCP/IP
  • Profibus DP
  • Omron Host Link
  • Omron Fins (seriale)
  • Omron Fins (Ethernet)
  • GE-Fanuc Ethernet
  • GE-Fanuc SNP
  • EIB/Konnex
Our OPC servers successfully passed the OPC specification compliance tests, assuring reliability, interoperability and reduced system integration costs.

OPC Tunneling for VB

FAST SpA extended the OPC server concept realizing a very powerful software tool whose data source is not a field device (i.e. a PLC) but any OPC client application. Fast OPC Tunneling for VB is able to drive information computed for example by Visual Basic program (OPC client enabled) and to expose data like an OPC server to any OPC DA Client, allowing reading/writing operations.
This tool can be very useful in integrated system where process control is linked to higher level data management, that is global integration systems like MES and ERP.

Plant View Data Logger (MES & ERP Oriented)

On this subject PlantView can offer a wide range of applications:

  • Event Logger: the events and the alarms are recorded together with related details in a database on a value/state change or on time basis. This way an historical archive of the events is created, whose analysis can be done by a powerful tool in order to make filtered queries (by time, tag, group, area, event type and so on) getting reports, prints or data export towards other analysis tools (i.e. data sheets).
  • Historical data logger: this module acquires any kind on information (measurement values, states, (phases, setpoints) and records their evolution in an historical archive (SQL, ACCESS , ODBC). The collected data will be extremely useful for further analysis and reporting, whose aim is a deeper knowledge of the processes and a strong support to higher management levels integration.

Plant View Historical Trends

Applications package for historical data complete management. Includes Configuration tool, Data Logger and Viewer. The specified data are acquired from the servers and, once saved on database, can be viewed or exported to spread sheets to be analyzed.

Plant View Report Generator

It creates production reports and statistical analysis on data coming from OPC servers

Plant View Maintenance

Module for the complete maintenance management. Maintenance actions can be scheduled based on time periods or data coming from the field, like working hours or start-stop events counts of a machine/device. The application also allows tracking of the maintenance activities done.

Process IT Bridge

It is a simple and effective tool for data collection, based on OPC technology; it collects data that come from different sources (local or remote) and makes them immediately available to the user.
Process IT Bridge is ideal for integrating different information system within a company, allowing for data sharing.
The collected data can be stored on different database formats and become available for any application. The simplest to show data is through a browser, very cheap and available everywhere.
