INTRODUCTION
The ARC Plus remote monitoring and control system takes advantage of the scalability of TCP/IP to provide site-to-
site control, central monitoring and/or distributed access to more than 1,000 sites. Users can manage the system
via the ARC Plus Touch front panel, web browser, smartphone, tablet and optional telephone and software
interfaces, in any combination. Multi-site ARC Plus networks allow site-to-site control from the front panel of any
ARC Plus or ARC Plus Touch, and automatic coordination of multiple facilities via onboard macros.
ARC PLUS TOUCH
The core of the system is the ARC Plus Touch which provides front panel access to all connected ARC Plus sites, all
onboard processing power, and the built-in web server for access via web browser (PC or mobile device).
Connection to the plant equipment is by means of one or more Plus -X I/O units.

The Touch screen display shows all status and metering values and offers command and macro activation.
Navigation through the menu system is by touch as are command activation and data entry. A popup
keyboard is available as appropriate. The LCD can be configured to dim or turn off to extend the display
life. Touching the screen will awaken the display without issuing any underlying command. Click or turn to
ALARM LED
The Alarm LED indicates alarm activity. By default, the LED illuminates red when there is an alarm at the
local site. It may instead be configured to illuminate when there is an alarm at any site in the ARC Plus
network (Click or turn to
