Components:

PlantConnectTM has 3 components –

Data Acquisition Server (DAS)

DAS is installed on each site. It connects to devices using any protocol supported by the device and polls for parameter data. DAS sends this data to PlantConnectTM server continuously or periodically depending on the deployment. DAS is 100% remote configurable. So user can perform all operations like add devices, manage parameters remotely through the browser.

So you need to visit the site only for initial installation and physical connections etc. After that manage each site remotely from anywhere, anytime!

PlantConnectTM Server

PlantConnectTM server is a web-based server. Both DAS and users (using web browsers) connect to this server. The server acts as a hub for all data flowing through the system and manages it in real time. PlantConnectTM server has loosely coupled components and hence features / modules can be easily added / removed from any installation resulting in a truly optimized system!

Browser based Client

Access PlantConnect using a standard browser from a PC, Tablet PC or Mobile Phone. Thus no hassels of installation / updates to client machines.

Deployment

PlantConnect allows great flexibility in deployment so that you get a system 'just right' for your needs and what's more important, the system can grow as per your needs keeping pace with your progress.
