Versatile visualization tool suite has options for range of applications

Visualization tools can help operators and managers quickly understand all the data coming from sophisticated automation equipment, letting them manage systems for maximum efficiency. MC Works64 meets these needs with a 64-bit, Web-enabled environment that includes a number of application specific options.

The OPC HMI/SCADA suite provides 3D graphics for a range of 64-bit-based computing machinery that runs Microsoft Windows 7, 8, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. MC WORKS64 takes advantage of familiar ribbon menus found throughout integrated applications, such as Microsoft Office.

Workbench is MC Works64’s base, providing a centralized desktop or Web-based environment with an advanced operator interface for service management and has built-in project management functionality. Operators can configure alarms, trends, security and GraphWorX64 displays that addresses security with protected logins and the ability to lock down configuration.

GraphWorX64, an HMI and SCADA data visualization tool with 3D capabilities, makes configuring projects quick and easy. It lets users build scalable, vector-based graphics that depict real world locations.

Users can gain a full picture of their operations by integrating TrendWorX64 and AlarmWorX64 viewers. TrendWorX64 collects and analyzes historical data as well as view real-time trends, while AlarmWorX64 provides advanced alarm management and notification.

Additional software modules provide a range of application specification functions. Companies with widely dispersed assets like factories, facilities and oil fields can get real-time visualization or remote operations with EarthWorX64. GridWorX64 makes it easy to integrate data from any network connected database, and provide real-time grid visualization. AssetWorX provides intelligent asset technology to organize any system, simplify engineering, and enhance navigation. MC AppBuilder automatically creates monitor screen parts, OPC tag settings, and GX Works2 projects.
