Paragon - Powerful and flexible HMI/ SCADA

The innovative Paragon HMI & SCADA software package regulates control and management of process information. Unlike many PC-based SCADA system architectures, Paragon delivers high-performance and reliability in networked applications with a scaleable database design.

Paragon supports seamless cross-platform communication among operating systems from Windows NT to Windows 95 and OS/2 on the same network. Its open modular design and dynamic connectivity features simplify integration into enterprise-wide networks.

When coupled with Nematron's OpenControl PC-based control software, Paragon offers a deterministic, fast real-time control system that can operate the most complex batch, process, or hybrid control applications.

Benefits of Paragon

If your application calls for more than just an HMI, and you really want to manage your process, Paragon is the right tool for the job. Its peer-to-peer and network architecture client/server design deliver data integrity and system reliability. Server modules generate and store all critical real-time and historical data, while high-speed client modules use the server data to present information to people and other systems. Built-in mechanisms allow data exchange with third-party applications through OPC, DDE, ActiveX, communications standards, and programming languages.

Reliability by Design

Accurate representation of process data
View, control, and analyze data when you need it
Increased productivity
More efficient plant performance
More efficient data transfer and collection
Simplified implementation of hybrid applications
Concurrent engineering, which allows engineers to work on application development simultaneously

Optimized Investment

Reduce development time
Scalable and expandable
Leverage technology and cost advantage of PCs
Lower cost and complexity of process control
Reduce development and startup costs for hybrid applications.

The pay-as-you-grow approach assures maximum return on minimum investment. Paragon's architecture scales to exactly fit your application requirements. And Paragon won't falter as you expand your application. You can reconfigure functional modules or add new ones, as needed, where needed, without disrupting operations.
