PcVue Announces PcVue 11.1 Featuring GEO Map Control

PcVue Inc. announces the release of PcVue 11.1, the latest SCADA by its affiliate, ARC Informatique. PcVue Version 11.1 features the monitoring of geographically distributed assets and IP (Internet Protocol) network devices. The unique design improves operator effectiveness with powerful data analysis tools and developer efficiency with the latest efficiency and automation of configuration.

GEO Map Control, a built-in component for GIS (geographic information system) decision-making, provides live interactive maps from popular mapping services such as Google and Microsoft. Maps are interactive and dynamic - supporting both off-line maps and on-demand retrieval of maps online. PcVue graphical objects (Symbols) may be used as markers including animations and display of real-time asset status and alarms. No scripting or programming is required to configure the Map Control.

PcVue’s CIMWay has been expanded to support SNMP (simple network management protocol) for monitoring and controlling devices on IP networks. This native capability not only allows PcVue applications to monitor the health of the network, but provides access to an ever increasing number of IEDs (intelligent electronic devices) and other equipment with IP interfaces. Designed for optimization of large IP networks in mind, the SNMP capability supports the growing Internet of Industrial Things (IoT).

Data Analysis for operator decision support is an increasing requirement in a modern SCADA application. PcVue 11.1 provides powerful analysis tools integral to the operator’s workstation. With a few clicks, operators may move from real-time to analysis mode and back. Any logged data can be analyzed using techniques such as statistical analysis. The resulting visualization may be with dashboard KPI displays or the powerful new X-Y charting control supporting correlation analysis.

Enhancements to BACnet Scheduling and new connections to SMART Generators from BACNet and TwinCAT - Beckhoff for automated configuration are some of the many additional new features and improvements to PcVue Solutions with PcVue 11.1.
