GE Fanuc releases Proficy extension pack

A GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 6, 2009

GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has released an OEM Solutions Pack for Proficy Ifix 5.0, the company's HMI/Scada software.

The offering is a compilation of pre-configured out-of-the-box graphic objects and screens specifically tailored to machine level HMI/Scada applications.

The components, along with an integrated workspace toolbar and screen templates, accelerate Ifix application development and allows duplication across many devices and/or machines for ease of integration, consistency of operation, and implementation of data standards such as OMAC.

Menu-driven configuration development enables rapid configuration of pre-developed screens for OEMs.

Specific tools, dynamos, machine and line-level pre-developed screens, including OMAC templates, will provide consistency across machines, enabling reduced engineering time, faster training and an easier learning curve.

Developers can use the out-of-the-box components as a starting point or customise them to solve a specific problem while maintaining ease of use for the operators.

The trending components and pre-built screens are specifically designed for touch-screen operation and enable quick troubleshooting and in-depth visualisation of machine data on the plant floor, alongside web-client capability in any environment.

To address the specific needs of integrating equipment on the plant floor this product adopts OMAC standards.

Advantages are said to include: shorter machine development cycle; faster integration; standardised program structure; consistency in machine operation; increase in machine features; ease of machine upgrade; increased breadth of machine offerings; and protection of intellectual property.

The OEM Solutions Pack includes a variety of machine performance screen templates and dynamos tailored to provide metrics that will support lean and six sigma initiatives.

This functionality, along with the base HMI/Scada control screens, can provide machine level monitoring at a very low cost to the end customer.

OEMs can streamline project schedules, enable easy maintenance and deliver repeatable systems.

Proficy Ifix offers a Scada engine, rich set of connectivity options, open architecture and highly scalable and distributed networking model.
