zenon Features
Open, independent and safe automation with zenon
How open, customized and independent a system works depends a lot on how well it communicates and interacts with other systems. We equipped zenon with a maximum of freedom. It works in your network perfectly and in a resource-conserving way, it is universal and platform independent. And zenon can be extended and adapted easily without a big effort.
Versatile Control Connections
With over 250 high-quality connections you couple to a multitude of different controls. This happens directly through the control supplier’s own interfaces or through open standards such as OPC and IEC.
Networking and Universality
The basic thought of networked visualization is to enable the control staff to execute all necessary actions at any time and anywhere: Parameterizing, changing varieties, aggregate switching, and - if necessary - recalling alarms and trend data.
zenons universality in combination with its unique network-technology offers all possibilities to connect and optimize production flows and information flows.
zenon therefore works with all current Windows-based and Web-based systems from Windows CE to Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, including 64 Bit versions, all the way to the WWW.
Already in the engineering phase universality proves to be the decisive feature for success: one project for all platforms. Also in the networking of facilities universality brings a lot of advantages and allows you identical process visualizations – from stand-alone-terminal to handheld-terminals all the way to PC and Internet-browser.
Data Recording and Analysis
Thanks to fully integrated alarm and event administration and the high-performance zenon archive server, zenon offers various intelligent solutions for data recording and analysis – naturally 100% manipulation-safe.
Also in regard to the batches, from now on you are in the picture anytime: Just assign a batch name and then filter in trends, event lists and alarm message lists, interpret reports and analyze in the Industrial Performance Analyzer.
Recipes and Recipe Group Manager
With the zenon recipes you always keep a clear overview of the complex recipe collection. And the Recipe Group Manager helps you to logically organize recipes and freely create format templates.
FDA with a Mouse Click
zenon offers all that is necessary to construct FDA certified facilities. It offers for example Audit Trail in Editor and Runtime, as well as user administration and signatures.
Engineering Advantages with zenon
With just one tool, the zenon Editor, you generate platform independent projects for CE-platforms, tablet PCs and normal PCs. Once a module is created, you can reuse it again and again throughout the system, which enables you to engineer very efficiently. For example, you can adopt graphical facility representations directly from the CAD system.
Vertical Integration
When it comes to integration, zenon with its openness is always on your side. It connects to SAP/R3 directly through a high-performance interface. zenon can also be connected easily and quickly to all other ERP, MIS or PDC (Production Data Collection) solutions.
