Sielco Sistemi - SCADA software Winlog is renewed

Sielco Sistemi, a leader company in SCADA/HMI systems developing, is pleased to announce that the new version 3.01 of SCADA software Winlog Pro is now available. The new version represents a real revolution in terms of look, functionality and performance.
We have re-designed the whole SCADA software platform to take advantage of new technologies, while maintaining the original robustness and reliability and ensuring the almost complete compatibility with previously developed applications.
The product has a more up-to-date and appealing look; all icons are in Pure Flat 2013 style and access to various functions and development tools is now more easy and intuitive.
We have revised all development tools, in order to increase performance and make it easier to use. A special effort was made to improve graphics, increasing the number of supported formats (JPG, PNG, GIF, …), enhancing  transparency options, making it smoother motion graphics.
In addition to the graphic library Symbol Factory, development tools include the popular libraries of animated graphic objects Industrial Gadgets ActiveX Basic Edition and Industrial Gadgets ActiveX PRO Edition, with lots of animated objects digital (buttons, switches, leds), numeric (pointer indicators, potentiometrs, led displays) and complex (motors, pumps, valves, tanks, pipes).
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.
Version 3.01 makes available remote control via TeamViewer technology. By a simple “click” on the icon “Quick Support”, the user will allow the Sielco Sistemi support team to provide remote control and technical assistance through Internet.
Winlog Pro now includes a new web server support which conforms the graphical object properties to those of the standard version and provides a more fast and safe data exchange between client and server. Clients can access the server via new passwords for sending commands and write data. Web server support is now available with the free demo version of Winlog Lite.
Finally it should be noted that version 3.01 of SCADA software Winlog Pro makes it available new and even more convenient development and runtime licenses.

Here you can download the free demo version of Winlog Lite.

Sielco Sistemi – The new Sistemi Sielco website is online!

The Sielco Sistemi website has been completely renewed in graphics and contents. The new website features a modern and attractive layout with a mobile responsive design.

Sielco Sistemi was created from the original group that in the early '90 has developed the software package for automation Winlog and now is offering its renewed and enhanced version Winlog Pro. Our mission is to promote the diffusion of the SCADA software Winlog Pro all over the world through the continuous updating and enrichment of the product, the close cooperation with our customers and Solution Providers and the expansion and strengthening of our distribution network. In addition to Winlog Pro SCADA software, we offer a range of industrial Panel PCs (PClog) and a Data Acquisition System (IOlog). Sielco Sistemi also offers itself as a partner for the development of applications and the implementation of integrated hardware/software solutions.

Our know-how comes from direct experience gained in over twenty years of fieldwork. Among our customers are machine manufacturers, production managers, engineering companies and electrical installers. We have provided systems for supervision of industrial plants, for acquisition and processing of production data, for quality control of production and storing process, for building automation, for remote control of public utility networks. We have gained specific skills in several industrial sectors as textiles, plastics, food, ceramics and electronics.

PClog - A new family of Panel PCs

Sielco Sistemi is pleased to present PClog, the new family of Panel PCs suited for front cabinet mounting and equipped with a high brightness LCD resistive touch screen. Models with display size 8”, 12”, 15”, 17” and 19” are available in 4/3 format and with display size 10” in 16/9 format.
All PClog Panel PCs are “fanless”. Both models based on Intel Atom Single Core and most powerful models based on Intel Atom Dual Core are available.
All PCs are equipped with Windows Embedded Operating System. PClog Panel PCs can be supplied, at a very competitive price, with special unlimited Winlog Pro development and runtime licenses, to provide a powerful and flexible Panel PC SCADA system for the price of an operator panel.

IOlog - Data Acquisition System

IOlog is a reliable and low cost distributed data acquisition system based on SS3000 I/O modules and SCADA Winlog Pro software. SS3000 I/O modules provide different types of input (digital, 20 mA, 10 V, Pt100, TC) and output (digital, relay, 10 V, 20 mA) channels.

You can find more details here

SS3000 I/O modules and supervisory PC can be linked together by a RS485 network with a Modbus ASCII/RTU protocol or by an Ethernet network (using a gateway TCP/RTU module) with a Modbus TCP protocol. Winlog Pro software provides an operator interface in a Windows environment for real-time supervision, historical trend analysis or alarm management; an integrated development environment allows a quick and easy creation of complete multilanguage applications.

Thanks to its characteristics of modularity, reliability, flexibility and low cost, IOlog system is widely used for quality control in many industrial and civil applications (pasteurization process in food industry, cold storage of animal tissues in hospital facilities, dust pollution level in environmental control, etc.).

SCADA applications can be automatically created by Application Builder, a powerful tool that allows a dramatic reduction of development time; applications can be created by simply taking up from a library and putting together the software objects that refer to SS3000 data acquisition modules.

Software objects include tags, protocols, templates and all necessary information for supervision and configuration of related devices (front view, configuration templates, alarms, etc.).

Data read from I/O modules can be recorded and displayed as graphical trends or processed for alarms management, generation of quality and production reports, etc.; standard format (DBF, CSV) of history files and ODBC (SQL) support ensure interface with most Windows applications such as Excel or Access.

Winlog Pro makes it possible to set up a distributed Client/Server architecture with a TCP/IP protocol or to create web applications accessible from Internet Clients with a standard browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox; both fix and mobile (GSM, GPRS) telephone networks can be used to communicate with remote devices or to send SMS.

Winlog Lite registration

Winlog Lite is the entry level version of the SCADA/HMI software Winlog Pro offered by Sielco Sistemi to allow an evaluation of the potentiality and the simplicity of use of the package; Winlog Lite is also a powerful and low cost solution for creation of small supervisory applications.

Winlog Lite makes available most of development tools and functions provided by the Winlog Pro software package, but limits the possibility to develop and to run applications up to a max of 24 tags. Winlog Lite does not include Symbol Factory library and web support.

Winlog Lite can be executed both in Demo mode (without need of registration) and Full mode; in Demo mode, communication with external devices and sampling of external tags automatically stops after 15 minutes (if required, it can be restarted manually); in Full mode communication goes on without any limit of time.

You can download Winlog Lite here.

To run Winlog Lite in Full mode, it is necessary to buy a license "Winlog Lite" and carry out the registration procedure; "Winlog Lite" license is valid only on the computer used to carry out the registration procedure and can't be transferred to another computer.
"Winlog Lite" licence can be ordered via web only. It consists by an activation code (Licence key) received by e-mail.
The installation identification code file (Licence request) shall be sent to sales[at]sielcosistemi.com. You will receive the activation code (Licence key) for Winlog Lite Full mode execution.
Refer to instructions available in Project Manager, Guide | Registration menu to obtain the installation identification code file (Licence request) and to insert the activation code (Licence key).
