Eurotherm's Releases Full Bridge, Remote Viewing Software for Data Recorders Enables Complete Remote Operation over Local Networks or the Internet
LEESBURG, VA - Eurotherm has introduced a new version of its Bridge 5000 remote viewing software package, Full Bridge, enabling remote workstations to access and control any of its 5000 Series data recorders over unlimited distances. This latest release provides a powerful, user-friendly interface, via direct connection, Ethernet link, Local Area Network or the Internet with a number of new features and greater functionality. It enables full remote operation, historical data review and even remote configuration of instruments.
Bridge 5000 allows remote users to view live data, presenting the same 'look & feel' as the instrument itself. Information is presented in a variety of formats such as vertical trend, horizontal trend, vertical bar graph, horizontal bar graph or large numeric, and custom displays are also fully supported. Password protection ensures that only authorized clients may connect to the instrumentation.
The software uses Java compatible technology. This means it is capable of running a TCP/IP connection protocol on muftiple platforms, including PCs, Macs, Unix workstations or industrial panels. In addition, more than one recorder may be viewed from a single workstation by running multiple instances of the Bridge's software.
The new release comes with a number of powerful options, including Batch Operation, (allowing the remote user to perform all batch control and logging operations), User Screens (allowing remote creation, display and modification of custom screens) and File Explorer (allowing instrument files to be viewed and manipulated remotely).
Karen Rigby, Eurotherm's Data Management Product Manager, believes that the new version of Bridge 5000 will significantly improve functionality and versatillty of 5000 Series recorders, and has particular implications for remote sites. She comments: 'The proliferation of industrial networks means that instruments which record process data must now be easily accessible and controllable by remote users. This is particularly true of instruments working in unmanned exterior locations. Not only does Bridge 5000 provide all the functionality necessary; It will be a significant timesaver in today's networked environment. Process managers no longer need to be on site to control the monitoring of their process. They can do it all remotely, without the need to leave their desk.
