Visionic - Key Features
User interface
Following the well-known Visionic philosophy, system design is based on a simple “drag and drop” of selected device into your workspace. User interface is equipped with gradient elements and background drawing in high quality. Custom dialogs, designed according to your preferences replace old-fashion dialogs. Unlimited number of clients per M&C server (royalty free) is allowed. Visionic5 new, modern user interface definitely provides both look and feel of well-known, familiar Office 2007 / 2010.
Devices Drivers Library
Design libraries, incorporated in Visionic GUI, contain hundreds of devices. This feature allows you to draw your design to precisely resemble the real time system.
Multi-Page Design
Multi-page design allows you to see your system or systems in several alternative views. These different standpoints might provide you a new perspective and lead to new ideas.
Wizard Assistant
Visionic user interface incorporates design-time wizards, carefully developed to assist the engineer in system design and optimization.
Alarm Manager
The system can execute any action in case of equipment's failure or alarm (SMS, phone call, e-mail/pager notification, industrial horn, etc…)
In case of suboptimal conditions, the system will raise an alarm, assigned the severity level (major, minor, warning) represented by color code. Acknowledgement function allows an operator to remove particular alarm from the list. In addition, events that triggered alarms can be exported to excel file.
Centralized Control
When a system has multiple GUI workstations connected, the Visionic grants control of the system to one operator at any given time. This way, Visionic proofs your system against the possible human error.
Simple & Centralize
Visionic5 offers all Visionic functions on one place (Visionic Starter). Project export includes all files required to run the system, including Visio and all drivers. Import effectively (re)installs the system on the computer.
Automation and Macros
Visionic integrated macro recorder and auto-backup elements are designed to allow any kind of automated response.
Scheduled Actions
It is possible to define actions whose execution will be triggered by particular event or in predefined time intervals.
Logging, Charting and Reporting
Every operation, alarm, alarm acknowledgement and any other user action is logged for further analysis. The logs can be stored on the local hard disk, in a form of text files, or in the database, for up to one year. Logs entries can be used for a detailed charting and reporting, based on any selection criteria. The selection criteria are fully definable by the operator. Visionic5 offers integrated replacement for RRDVisLogger. It is not dependent on IIS or SQLExpress and installation is included in Visionic, there is no separate MSI file. Charting and trending definition are part of the project.
Security Management
The Visionic supports several levels of security, allowing shared access between several operators with strict user rights management.
Compilation System
Complete project is stored in a single VZ file, including all drivers (DLLs), MODBUS and all other settings now in project files.
