Version R9.03 of the Fast/Tools Web-based SCADA system enables remote engineering and maintenance by deploying process applications and monitoring via Web-based services.
Its use of the latest technologies and Web-based architecture is
intended to provide management and maintenance personnel easy and secure
access to their assets. The platform-independent Fast/Tools software
has high-level system integration capabilities, facilitating intuitive
and advanced system deployment and significantly reducing costs, says
the vendor. To enhance security, the system and its applications are
hardened to prevent failures and protect against unauthorized access and
use. A new plug-in structure allows for excellent integration of new
and existing infrastructure, guaranteeing seamless vertical and
horizontal integration, says the vendor. Other features include a new
engineering and visualization editor and multi-language support.Yokogawa Corp. of Americawww.yokogawa.com/us800.258.2552
