Wonderware Information Server

The Wonderware Information Server offers an easy solution for aggregating and presenting plant production and performance data over the web or company intranet.
Plant personnel, with a minimum of training, can install, configure and implement a highly effective plant information web site without the need for custom web programming.
Using Information Server, large amounts of process data can be aggregated into highly informative production reports tailored to the information needs of plant personnel.
Content from the Wonderware Information Server can be incorporated into other web portals, making existing corporate IT portals more informative and valuable.

Wonderware Toolkits

Wonderware Toolkits provide powerful extensibility to InTouch HMI and System Platform applications enabling developers to extend the capabilities of Wonderware products to meet specific system integration needs. Our Toolkits promote adherence to industry standards, provide additional customization and intellectual property protection, and enhance the ability to interface Wonderware products with other software and hardware.
Wonderware Toolkits are utilized primarily by System Integrators, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Value-Added Resellers (VARs), and software developers that require a relatively high level of programming sophistication.

Key Benefits

• DAServer Toolkit – Enables developers to build device integration servers more easily
• ArchestrA Object Toolkit - Enables developers to extend the ArchestrA architecture with objects that provide specific application or device integration functionality
• Historian Toolkit - Enables developers to create high-value industrial applications that integrate with data sources from the System Platform and other data sources
• Alarm Toolkit - The Alarm toolkit enables users to produce custom distributed alarm providers and consumers
• Wizard Toolkit – The Wizard Toolkit enables users to produce their own Wizards for inclusion in InTouch HMI
• Script Toolkit - The Script toolkit is a SDK enabling custom InTouch scripts to be developed
• GRAccess Toolkit - Enables developers to create programmatic access to and interaction with System Platform Galaxy configuration data
• MXAccess Toolkit - Enables developers to create programmatic access to runtime data in a System Platform Galaxy

Wonderware Device Integration Servers

Connectivity to your plant/facility devices is key to real-time information management. Wonderware maximizes your choices with the broadest possible communication options for industrial automation and information devices. In collaboration with more than 100 third-party interface developers, Wonderware provides the largest selection of connectivity options to hundreds of control systems such as PLCs, RTUs, DCSs, flow controllers, loop controllers, scales, gauges, bar code readers and other hardware devices. Wonderware has also fully embraced the openness of OPC technology, exposing data via OPC from our products as an OPC Client and also providing the means to connect to any third party OPC Server.
Wonderware makes device integration more maintainable by using Device Integration Objects (DI Objects) within the Wonderware System Platform for seamless connectivity to any data source. Wonderware also offers the DAServer Toolkit which empowers you to create your own connectivity server.

Key Benefits

• Separation of application code from device communications management- so both can be easily managed and updated
• Takes a flat, non-structured device and gives it structure, where it can be more easily incorporated and managed in a distributed system.
• Takes individual communications paths and makes them available globally for any application to use
• Allows communications and device naming to be different for the same application, allowing re-use on any machine
• Support for OPC standards
  

Key Capabilities

• Create one application and have it automatically bind to PLC/DCS/RTU addresses at run-time
• Create templates that can be used with any manufacturer of PLC/DCS/RTU with different naming conventions for addresses
• Create common SCADA and HMI Applications for different PLC/DCS/RTU types
• Support for OPC standards

Wonderware Development Studio

Wonderware Development Studio consists of a suite of cooperative tools designed to enable the rapid construction and maintenance of Wonderware applications.
The heart of the Development Studio is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Within the IDE engineers can design, develop, test and maintain any industrial application.
Without leaving the IDE, the user can develop vibrant and sophisticated graphics, and incorporate those into effective HMI, SCADA, MES or Operations Intelligence applications.
Once development is ready for delivery, a single click is all it takes to deploy applications, objects and associated logic to anywhere in the enterprise namespace.

Key Benefits

• Unified development environment for HMI, SCADA, MES and EMI applications
• Ease-of-use
• Centralized, multi-user development
• Easy re-use of previous engineering work
• Fast deployment of changes across the network
• Productivity and workforce improvements
  

Key Capabilities

• Template-based development of objects and graphics
• Extensible by means of Microsoft .NET and Wonderware APIs
• Complete and customizable graphics library
• Configurable security and audit trails
• Management of all I/O, history, alarms, events, graphics, scripts and more with one tool
