Users also can develop a library of scripts for re-use to simplify the application. Save time in decreased initial engineering and application maintenance as well as deployment.
With features like InTouch Fast Switch from development mode to runtime mode, and instant previews in the ArchestrA symbol editor, developers can quickly determine how their applications will look and behave before deploying them into a production environment.
Actionable Intelligence
Knowledge is power. Sophisticated, intelligent and interactive graphics that accurately communicate the right information are the key to this knowledge. Powerful, intelligent graphics capabilities provide context to data, enable faster analysis, and facilitate better and more rapid understanding of displayed information. Operators are presented the right information, at the right time, and in the right format. This empowers you to make timely, informed decisions, take corrective actions to reduce costs and operational incidents, and improve productivity across the entire operation.
You will be able to take advantage of robust, reliable, consistent HMI solutions with clutter-free screens and intelligent size-scalable faceplates. InTouch data aware controls, intelligent graphical objects and built-in provision of quality information, plus robust .NET controls give you intuitive, accurate and consistent visualization of operational processes, making you more productive, efficient and effective. Dynamic symbol scaling, “Tooltips” and “mouse-over” capabilities enable you to obtain more information, swiftly about operational conditions in streamlined, uncluttered screens that provide focus to the task at hand. Great multi-monitor support enables you to construct comprehensive multi-screen HMI applications with precise control of visualization and interaction
React and respond in real time
Timely visibility to system alarms and the ability to acknowledge them promptly can significantly reduce costly downtime. Faster responses in critical situations provide opportunities for preemptive resolution of potentially critical situations.
Powerful InTouch software troubleshooting tools include:
* Distributed Alarm Display – provides comprehensive summary information of current alarms
