Enterprise Client/Server SCADA Host Software for the Internet
NetSCADA is an
Enterprise Client/Server HMI and SCADA system that allows configuration
and viewing over the internet. NetSCADA’s
object oriented configuration allows users to easily organize and replicate
multi-RTU sites in a fraction of the time a traditional SCADA / MMI would
require. Combining ease of use with an all inclusive development / runtime
package, built in SQL database and unlimited I/O tags, NetSCADA offers the
lowest total cost of ownership of any SCADA / HMI system. Template and database
oriented screen/point configuration, combined with powerful historical trending
features make NetSCADA comparable to specialized enterprise SCADA host systems
costing many times more.
