RcWare Vision is a SCADA system with rich possibilities of integration. It was originally intended for creating monitor networks of various technologies through telemetric networks and different types of local communication. The system takes advantage of the most modern software tools and communication standards, but incorporates a great deal of verified “technically standard” solutions as well.

This provides both full compatibility with existing systems on the market and advantage of advanced networking of subsystems, data acquisition stations and SCADA management stations. The modularity of the system enables gradual construction of the dispatching sites from the simplest visualization of metering data to distributed integrated systems. Special focus is put on high reliability, fast application engineering and easy settings even for less experienced users. Licensing policy makes the system available even for the smallest sites while large datapoint number licenses possess a upper price limit.

After standard installation (less than 20 minutes) and primary settings the operation is simple and self-explaining. For basic modifications and design, elementary knowledge of computer operation is sufficient; it is not necessary to be a programmer or an IT-specialist. The RcWare package has been created very consistently in order to be intelligible and user friendly. Since there is a multitude of communication drivers for various types of PLCs and meters in the application, it is possible to monitor and navigate more diverse subsystems with one user interface. The application is directly designed for extensive dispatching systems and contains all the necessary steps for the processing of the acquired data.

RcWare Vision is designed to make use of all the features of the MS Windows 32-bit operating system, series NT/2000/XP/Vista. We recommend to use the Professional versions of the system (in particular MS Windows 2000/XP). As for backward compatibility, MS Windows 98 can be used for design and graphical evaluation etc., but it is not recommended to use it for a continuous run due to its stability issues. Client part for the communication stations, which are not demanding on HW resources, or just for real-time protocol integration can be set up even on a DOS version.

The application environment is easy to use and comprises all the tools and views for less experienced users. At the same time it contains all the tools for system administrators for application creation and maintenance.
