Architectural Flexibility and Complete Scalability
InTouch 10.0 software can be used as self-contained, standalone visualization stations or as an integrated part of the Wonderware System Platform distributed architecture.
A Terminal Services edition of InTouch 10.0 software is available. This edition can support up to 75 Terminal Services sessions from a single server on appropriately configured hardware.
As the easiest to learn HMI in the industry, you can always start small and rapidly create a running application in production.
When you are ready to expand, leverage the flexible and scalable ArchestrA software architecture to increase system size and complexity at your discretion to meet future requirements.
Scalability from a single low end /low price node to over 400 networked PCs
Start with one node and be prepared to expand to 1 million I/O.
Security Where, When and How You Need It
InTouch 10.0 software provides a selection of integrated security models and options to match your requirements, including:
- Access-Level Password Security – limits user capabilities in the InTouch HMI application based on areas of responsibility and authority
- Microsoft Windows Authentication – grants permissions to InTouch HMI users authenticated on a domain controller or local computer, based on user identity and group affiliations
- Data Level Security – integrates securely for customers who have adopted the Wonderware System Platform, from InTouch software all the way down to the level of each data element or attribute.
- FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Functionality – complies easily with government regulations with built-in authentication fields, security script functions and variables
- InTouch Read Only Software – prevents changing data or execution of controls with a view-only runtime version of the InTouch software application
Unequaled Investment Protection
Continuing Wonderware’s uncompromising and unequaled history of continuous support of our customers existing investments, InTouch applications created with the very first HMI version can be upgraded and used with the very latest InTouch 10.0 software with ease.
All of the features of InTouch ArchestrA graphics work in concert with the full range of capabilities available with earlier versions of InTouch software.
Existing InTouch HMI applications can be upgraded to InTouch HMI and work with no modifications whatsoever!
InTouch HMI provides the capabilities to modify and extend these applications with all of the new features whenever you want or need to do so.
Breakthrough Architecture – No Limits!
Used together, the InTouch HMI and Wonderware System Platform provide an information and automation application environment of unprecedented power, scalability and ease of use.
The integration of the ArchestrA IDE and the new graphics capabilities of InTouch 10.0 software provide a smooth upgrade path for InTouch software users into the world of ArchestrA applications and the Wonderware System Platform. The upgrade path offers users the benefits of scalability and increased functionality without sacrificing prior investments in InTouch HMI application development.
While the Wonderware System Platform is not required to run InTouch software, it’s the ultimate add-on. Together they will redefine your expectations for a supervisory system:
- Common Plant Model – moves beyond the simple tag databases of traditional HMI’s. As a logical representation of physical equipment and processes, the common plant model of the Wonderware System Platform abstracts equipment and systems into a more powerful and productive application development environment with extensive benefits for engineering reusability and reduced lifecycle cost.
- IDE Managed Applications – enable easy and robust remote application deployment and management from a centralized environment. Provides change propagation across your entire network.
- Extensible Universal Application Platform – builds on the rich graphic capabilities of InTouch HMI to extend into all types of plant and industrial applications.
- Automatic Configuration of System-Wide Functions – configures information once centrally, and can be re-used for any application that needs it, including graphics, history, alarm and event functions, security, logic, scripting, inputs and outputs.
- Common Namespace –separates application code in the Wonderware System Platform from device communications so both can be easily managed and updated. This allows re-use on any machine or application.
- Extended Data Security and Status Indication – builds on the capabilities inherent in InTouch software. The Wonderware System Platform extends the level of granularity in the definition and response for data security and status indication in a system.
- Wonderware Production and Performance Modules – provide a comprehensive set of functional modules that can extend the Wonderware System Platform to fit any production or performance management need. These modules help customers optimize equipment operations and performance, improve manufacturing quality, enforce manufacturing and batch execution as well as integrate plant application to enterprise systems.
