"Broadwin WebAccess, combined with Microsoft XP
Professional on the SCADA node, provides a complete solution
for remote software administration", explained
Thomas Hwang, Ph. D, Broadwin vice president of engineering. “With
the release of our XP support, users can not only view
and control from any remote location, but can completely
configure both the Web Access software and the control system
hardware. This new Web-enabled solution will allow users to remotely monitor and control over their network or via the Internet using a standard PC and web browser. Data is displayed in real-time with dynamically updated graphics using full motion animation.
Installing the XP remote desktop on any Windows NT or Windows
2000 computer will allow engineers to remotely access and
configure the control system hardware through just a single XP
based SCADA node.”
“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 also. Thismakes WebAccess fully
browser based, not an add on to some traditional HMI package.” explained Tom Carter,
Broadwin product marketing manager. "Web Access enables
engineers, integrators and control systems vendors with the
ability to support their systems remotely over an intranet or
the Internet using an ordinary web browser. Until the release
of XP, WebAccess provided only half the solution. Now
engineers can also configure the control system hardware
remotely!"
WebAccess is available for desktop computers and laptops running
any Microsoft 32-bit operating system including Windows 98, ME,
2000, 2003, XP Home and XP Professional. WebAccess 2.1 provides customers with unprecedented browser-based access to industrial control and building automation applications.
Internet Explorer 6.0 supports all features of WebAccess.
