For anyone who’s new to our HMI/SCADA blog, here’s a quick recap of my 15 most read posts of 2015- just in case you really have nothing better to do over the weekend. Not only shows what was going on in Wonderware HMI and Supervisory for the last 12 months but they also provide a glimpse into what’s next.
This blog is about the FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Regulations (what is it?, term definitions, why do we need it?), and resources available to comply with these requirements using the Wonderware Software.

This blog post is intended to provide customers in the manufacturing industry and solutions delivery partners looking to collaborate with other delivery partners with some guidelines on how to identify and select the right Partners to work with.

InTouch Machine Edition provides native drivers to more than 240 protocols for PLCs, temperature controllers, motion controllers, bar code/2D/RFID readers, and many other devices. You can use these built-in drivers, developed and maintained by Wonderware / Schneider Electric team or connect to an OPC server.

Schneider Electric Software LLC, the global specialist in energy management and the world leader in delivering industrial strength software solutions that simplify the complex in your operation has announced that its Wonderware InTouch won the 2015 UX Design award for Human Machine Interface Software. 

Packaging industry requires fast, accurate and reliable equipment to easily integrate into the operations and address the need of its growing demand. The purpose of this blog post is to review the benefits of the PackML standard  as it applies to OEMs.

Alarm management is the most important yet overlooked aspect of industrial operations. The article presents the top 5 focus areas you must pay attention to.

With the advent of Internet of Things and Industry 4.0, the number of embedded devices used for M2M (Machine to Machine) data exchange increase will increase. For machine builders, this means that demand for machine functionality will rise sharply among customers. Wonderware InTouch Machine Edition meet these demands with an all-in-one solution that will easily integrate these machines with cloud-ready SCADA solutions.

This blog posts will walk you through the steps on configuring InTouch Machine Edition to integrate with RSLogix 5000 to have a single tag database for ControlLogix or  CompactLogix PLCs.

The SCADA system is the brain of your automation system, so choosing the right one for your specific requirements is an important decision. The best SCADA system is the one that can easily communicate with all your RTUs and PLCs , meet your needs today and tomorrow and ensure your investment is protected.

Wonderware OEM products are a comprehensive set of industrial software solutions that assist you on your path to greater business success. All Wonderware software solutions are tightly integrated to help improve your business today, and expand your operations in the future.

With native connectivity to both your plant floor and business applications, Wonderware Office Bundle provides insight into the conditions, alarms, and events that tell you whether things are going right, or wrong.

This release has quite a few new features and improvements so we’re really excited to get this one out to you.  

Being the leader in Human Machine Interface (HMI) technology, Wonderware  offers the next step in industrial software design and management — Wonderware System Platform.

Wonderware InTouch human machine interface software has won the award "etoile du Design", by "Observeur du design 2016 ", an initiative of the A.P.C.I., the  French Agency for the Promotion of IndustrialCreativity that rewards the best and most innovative projects in the field of industrial design. 

This post was written by Phil Couling, Director, Wonderware Software Product Marketing, Schneider Electric and it was featured in the Pulse  magazine of Automation.com.

Visionaries just don’t create great products or companies; sometimes they end up creating a new market. Wonderware® founder, Dennis R. Morin, was one such visionary entrepreneur. He created a whole new market segment within the factory automation industry when he started Wonderware on April 1st 1987, a year after being laid off from Triconex®.

    Machine Edition IP Change During Runtime

    $
    0
    0

    This demo allows the user to configure the main TCP/IP settings for a specific network adapter in the current station, during the runtime.

    The default network adapter (Network Name) is Local Area Network. If the user wants to change the settings for a different network adapter, he must type the name of the network adapter that must be re-configured in “Network Name” field on the main screen.
    This application uses mainly the tag IP from the cIP class. The Math003 has the script executed when the “Apply Network Settings” button is pressed. Even if the button is pressed from a Web Thin Client computer, the settings are changed on the Server station only (station where Studio is installed).

    WARNING: This application uses the command netsh, which is NOT supported under Windows Embedded Comact (formerly known as Windows CE) operating system.

    About Netsh:
    According to Microsoft: “Netsh is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, display or modify the network configuration of a computer that is currently running. Netshalso provides a scripting feature that allows you to run a group of commands in batch mode against a specified computer. Netsh can also save a configuration script in a text file for archival purposes or to help you configure other servers”.

    The instructions to run this InTouch Machine Edition application are:
    • Install ITME8.0 (or later) in your computer (wonderware.com/ITME2)
    • Extract the files from IPChange.zipinto your computer
    • Open ITME 2014 R2 (v 8.0 or later) development environment and run the IPChangeapplication.

    LAKE FOREST, Calif. – January 26,  2016 — Schneider Electric Software,  a global leader in industrial software and part of Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation,  announces the release of Wonderware Operations Integration (OI) Servers.  The new servers increase connectivity across the enterprise, from the data layer through the business and ERP layers, to support a cloud-ready communications strategy.
    Wonderware OI Servers are a part of Schneider Electric Software’s IIoT connectivity strategy. The new inherent architecture of OI Servers allows seamless integration of a growing number of devices, ideal for use in Smart Cities, geographically distributed industries, as well as integration between currently disparate systems on a global scale. 

    “Customers have a wide spectrum of devices and systems that they want to integrate to their Supervisory HMI and historized data storage. Our broader connectivity offering through Wonderware Operations Integration provides greater value to customers by enabling a more connected enterprise,” said Alvaro Martinez, Product Manager, Schneider Electric Software. “The release not only expands Wonderware’s connectivity but also enriches our customers’ integration capability by making it faster, more flexible, easier to implement, and highly available.”

    With the advent of Internet of Things and Industry 4.0, not only is the number of embedded devices used for Machine to Machine data exchange increasing, but demand for machine functionality is also rising, including demand for interoperability, the ability to exchange data with cloud-based systems, and user friendly local configuration and maintenance.  Rather than an isolated set of units, these devices can become an integral part of the overall automation system, extending to the supply chain.

    Building on Wonderware’s open plant philosophy, the OI release continues support for the major PLC brands such as Allen-Bradley, GE, Modbus, and Siemens, and expands support to Automation Direct, CoDeSys (Bosch, 3S, Eaton, WAGO), Beckhoff, BACnet, Mitsubishi, and Opto 22.  This is the first step in a series of sequenced releases supporting new protocols and functionality. 
    • Customers using the new OI Servers will benefit from:
    • Increased throughput
    • Increased scalability
    • Elimination of single points of failure
    • Maximized communication uptime
    • Integrated support of multiple OI Server versions on a single node
    • Co-existence with Wonderware DAServers and DI Objects on a single node
