HMI/SCADA Software Combines Features

Sept. 1, 2004
Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX with FIX Desktop software enables users of FIX software to take advantage of the advanced database and connectivity features of Proficy iFIX, while continuing to view and control their plant-wide processes in their existing graphics environment.

This add-on is transparent to an existing software infrastructure, allowing users to quickly and cost-effectively enhance their current HMI-SCADA investments without having to reconfigure their systems, says the vendor. By using Proficy IFIX with FIX Desktop, FIX users can experience many of the latest features of Proficy iFIX 3.5, including new displays with ActiveX, OPC support and VBA; ODBC database and Historian connectivity; VisconX relational database connectivity; and AB Productivity Pack. Proficy iFIX users gain access to the classic FIX graphic environment, which permits the launch of SPC, XY and histogram charts alongside the Proficy iFIX application with tools including FIX Draw, FIX View and History Trend Display.
