Function and System Design
3.1
Function
ControlCare SPC350 is an industrial PC with preinstalled operating system, Internet Explorer and
P View Server software. The device can also be used as a P View client or Web-client. It is supplied
as part of a packaged solution that also includes a P View SCADA application.
The P View SCADA application acquires process data from the system network via OPC server. The
data is then visualized in various HMI pages that are designed according to customer specifications.
Since P View supports a client-server architecture, the HMI pages can be viewed in every P View
client connected to the system.
The P View client or P View Web-client and the P View server communicate via Ethernet in
Intranet/Internet, which can be protected with firewalls or other safety mechanisms. This allows
safe, worldwide access to the HMI pages of the P View server.
Depending upon user requirements, the P View client is automatically started and the connection
to the server established when the Panel PC is switched on. It is also possible to select the HMI
pages that are to be displayed at a particular client. Operation and navigation is via the touchscreen.
