AggreGate SCADA/HMI is a highly reliable multi-user distributed solution that provides supervisory control and monitoring for many sectors such as Process Control, Industrial Automation, Home Automation, Telemetry, Remote Control and Monitoring, Test and Measurement, Machine-To-Machine Communications.
AggreGate SCADA/HMI has advanced data acquisition and processing capabilities inherited from AggreGate IoT Integration Platform, such as real-time charting, comprehensive alerting/reporting, and batch operations. It is bundled with a rich set of device drivers for accessing and controlling different PLCs, sensors and other industrial devices. Most industry-standard protocols, such as OLE for Process Control (OPC), Modbus (TCP, UDP, Serial RTU/ASCII/BIN), BACnet IP, and SNMP, are supported directly.
Integrated HMI Builder application simplifies the process of creating Human-Machine Interfaces for visualizing the processes. Available user interface components include standard form elements (e.g. text fields and buttons), tables, raster and vector images, highly customizable gauges, charts, splittable/tabbed/multi-layer panels, and many more. HMI applications created in GUI Builder can be launched separately, e.g. in touch panels.
The most essential features of AggreGate SCADA/HMI include support for a wide range of industrial control protocols, distributed architecture with free unlimited client licenses, failover clustering for high availability, advanced event processing and logging, visual HMI editor with intuitive data bindings, remote editing of HMIs and report templates, multi-type trending and support for dynamic charts. Each installation bundle includes fully functional free license (up to 3 devices).
