Small Machine SCADA Solution from Schneider Electric Combines State of the Art Technology and Ease of Use



PALATINE, Ill. - Oct. 13, 2004 - Schneider Electric has released a low-cost, low-tech alternative to SCADA software for small and stand-alone machines. One of the most affordable SCADA products on the market, Vijeo Look(TM) v2.5 software is designed for customers who want an easy-to-use solution for a stand-alone HMI system. Based on open, standardized technology, this intuitive software saves development and maintenance costs over the life of a control system.

Vijeo Look 2.5 combines the ease of use of a web-browser with all the functionality of traditional HMI software. With user-friendly, high-color applications, interoperable functions and advanced communication, customers will find it simple to roll out or update projects.

Available in both Build Time/Run Time and Run Time only versions, Vijeo Look makes HMI solutions more affordable, yet assures the flexibility to meet fast-changing customer requirements. A stand-alone, software-based product, Vijeo Look needs no accompanying software to operate.

Powerful graphics tools, including a Java Beans library, PID loops, conveyors and "mouse-over" animation enhance graphical manipulation. Wizards and eye-driven controls make it easy to customize applications, while historical and real-time trending is made easy with Active X controls. User-friendly database management tools support tasks such as database size limitation, age limitation, purging and archiving capabilities, as well as alarm and log printing.

Vijeo Look features multi-lingual support (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese) and is compatible with Windows 2000 or XP operating systems. Communication is simplified with easy configuration with OPC Factory Server.

In the past year, Schneider Electric has greatly expanded its HMI hardware and software offering under its Telemecanique® brand, all built to simplify the design and operation of operator interface applications and to reduce costs for original equipment builders and industrial users. In addition to Vijeo Look 2.5, the latest additions to Schneider Electric's HMI product portfolio include: Magelis® XBT-G touch screen terminals, Magelis XBT-N text displays, Magelis iPC industrial computers and Monitor Pro(TM) v7.2 SCADA software. These new products have given Schneider Electric the most comprehensive HMI product line in the industry.
