Designed entirely around open technologies, Vijeo Look is a virtually risk-free investment, as there is no lock-in to proprietary products from a single vendor.
The use of industry-standard software and protocols for programming and communication make Vijeo Look easy to configure and to integrate, while its standard data format allows users to archive and analyse information produced by the system with any modern database system of their choice.
Low cost of ownership is another key Vijeo Look benefit.
In addition to the exceptionally low purchase price of the package, its intuitive development environment - which features extensive graphical object libraries and templates, as well as integrated OPC communications ready for immediate use with Schneider PLCs - keeps programming costs to a minimum.
In addition, the availability of demonstration applications, self-teach tutorials and comprehensive documentation eliminates the need for expensive training.
While Vijeo Look can be used with any modern PC platform, further cost savings can be achieved by purchasing it as part of a very competitively priced bundle with a Magelis iPC industrial PC.
Providing an ideal hardware platform for on-plant Scada applications, Magelis iPC products are fully industrialised, and feature a unique modular form of construction which allows them to be upgraded or serviced in seconds.
Users of the innovative Vijeo Look entry-level Scada system, and of Magelis iPC hardware, benefit from a single point of contact for all of their control and automation requirements.
Local support is also provided by Schneider Electric in 130 countries of the world, providing users with complete confidence that, wherever they are installed, these products will provide long, reliable and cost-effective service.
