  ViewBuilder 8000 Development Application Software  

ViewBuilder 8000 takes full advantage of the PV8000s high resolution display with a wealth of application development tools. Enhanced graphics capability provides support for BMP, JPG, and both static and dynamic GIF file formats.

The advanced object libraries containing bar graphs, trend displays, list & dropdown menus, user configurable shapes and engineering icons facilitate fast mimic and screen development reducing project implementation time. Alarm management, historical and real time event & trend functions bring performance and functionality typical of larger scale SCADA Systems to the PV-8000 Operator Interface Terminal.

Ethernet, OPC Server (optional), and Serial are amongst the extensive Communication options. The PV-8000 also has its own Peer-to-Peer capability to share data across Ethernet. An inbuilt Global Data Access mechanism allows PV-8000 applications to exchange data through global variables; enabling one PV-8000 application to operate a device connected to another PV-8000. Global Data Access is also ideal for remote monitoring and fault diagnosis.

A suite of efficient application test tools allows the developer to simulate off-line and online for both single and multiple device applications from the PC. Additionally, a full control function allows the developer to run multiple simulation screens on a single PC to monitor data from many PV-8000s simultaneously.

Drivers
A comprehensive library of serial and Ethernet drivers is available to support a broad range PLCs and Motion Controllers


Serial and Ethernet Communication
Simultaneous connection with various kinds of devices (Multiple Serial Interfaces)

Global Data Access and Exchange

Through Ethernet each PV-8000 can communicate with one another and exchange data with other PV-8000s. In addition, each PV-8000 can operate the devices connected to other PV-8000s. Global Data Access also facilitates remote monitoring and fault diagnosis.

Offline and Online Simulation Suite
The ViewWindow emulator function in ViewBuilder offers the application developer multiple options for test and simulation.

Offline Simulation
Simulate the operation of PV-8000 directly on the PC without PV-8000
and PLC.

Direct Online Simulator (1)
Directly connect the PLC to the PC to simulate the operation of a PV-8000. The PC is able to retrieve data from PLC (10 minute simulation limit).

Direct Online Simulator (2)
Simulate multiple PLC and PV-8000 configurations (no time limit).

Typical Applications

1. Pointe Controller Application
PowerView provides the ideal HMI platform for low cost Embedded Control Applications. Opening up the window on your production line or process by enhancing local operator interface invariably leads to improved efficiency. Used in a PLC workstation application the Ethernet version of PowerView supports a multiple controller network on Modbus TCP/IP.


2. Data Acquistion
The versatile OptiLogic industrial Ethernet I/O system with its wide range of sensor interfaces and a Nematron PowerView provide the building blocks for a highly distributed data acquisition system over cable or wireless media.
