Communication protocols for a SCADA / HMI software

The completeness of the library of communication protocols for a SCADA / HMI software is the real strength because it provides connectivity to field devices. 

Sielco Sistemi strives daily to maintain the internal library of its SCADA software Winlog Pro up to date with the evolution of the communication protocols of the most common devices for industrial automation and building automation (Siemens, Allen Bradley, Omron, Mitsubishi, Schneider Electric etc.) through a continuous search and optimization work. 

Winlog Pro supports communication with most of electronic instruments available on the market (PLCs, controllers, indicators, I/O modules, etc.) thanks to an extensive library of native communication drivers and to the OPC Client interface. 

OPC (OLE for Process Control) is an industrial standard, created by main worldwide leading automation manufacturers, that allows data exchange between different software components without need of any special adjustment. OPC Client driver supports data access (DA) to OPC servers DA 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0; it can interface both local OPC Servers located on the same PC (through COM objects) and remote OPC Servers (through DCOM objects) located on different PCs linked to the same LAN. 

Both native communication drivers and OPC Client interface are included in the basic Winlog Pro package. In Winlog Pro new version all communication drivers have been revised, in order to uniform the configuration of the various protocols. New communication protocols were also included, such as M-Bus protocol and Mitsubishi MELSEC.

SCADA software Winlog Pro provides a new web support

Sielco Sistemi is pleased to announce the new version of its SCADA software Winlog Pro for an easy creation of SCADA applications with a Web Server support, that can be accessed by any Internet Client with a standard browser such as Internet Explorer. Based on Java and LightTPD technologies, the Winlog Pro Webserver solution guarantees the absolute safety of data and the full independence of the Winlog Pro application from the Web Server support running in a protect environment (sandbox). SCADA applications with a Web Server support can be easily created thanks to the new series of W-NET development licenses with capacity increasing from 256 to 65536 tags. Functions, development tools and communication protocols are provided without any restriction by all Winlog Pro development licenses, independently from the capacity (number of tags) or the Web Server support.

SCADA software Winlog Pro provides new tools for an easy design of animated templates

Supervision of industrial and civil plants requires a realistic and impressive graphic representation; for the development of supervisory (SCADA) applications, it is critical to have the use of tools suitable for the design of animated templates providing a realistic and continuous display of the supervised process.
Sielco Sistemi is proud to announce that its supervisory software Winlog Pro has now been improved to provide new development tools for an easy design of animated templates with bitmap and metafile objects.

These new tools can use either symbols created by the developer and symbols belonging to Symbol Factory 2.0, the popular library provided with Winlog Pro, that includes over 4,000 manufacturing and industrial objects such as pumps, valves, motors, tanks, PLCs, piping, ISA symbols, etc.

Winlog Pro SCADA software now includes Symbol Factory library

Sielco Sistemi is proud to announce that, following the agreement with Software Toolbox, all Winlog Pro SCADA software development licenses will include Symbol Factory 2.0, the most popular library of industrial automation graphic objects.

Symbol Factory 2.0 includes over 4,000 manufacturing and industrial objects such as pumps, valves, motors, tanks, PLCs, piping, ISA symbols, etc. with easy-to-use features for resizing and changing colour, scheme and orientation of objects (bitmap or metafile).

The agreement with Software Toolbox acknowledges the continuous efforts of Sielco Sistemi to make Winlog Pro more attractive and competitive. This powerful, low cost and easy to use SCADA software is indeed collecting increasing consensus among Italian and international users and has been selected by leader manufacturers of electronic instrumentation such as Gefran, Ascon, Tecnologic, Siel, Socomec, etc.
