Common Scalable Architecture. SCADA/HMI edition is based on the core of SimageM2M Device Management Framework that provides unique abilities for configuring, controlling and monitoring different industrial devices and controllers.

High reliability. Installations with multiple servers and operator posts with hot database backup allow building highly reliable systems for controlling mission-critical processes.

Device Drivers. Drivers for widespread industrial control protocols, such as Modbus, are included in the distribution bundle. Almost any device may be connected using a custom device driver or hardware controller.

PC Client. SimageM2M LinkServer acts as an OPC client, allowing it to connect to almost any modern PLC or automation device. OPC communications are performed via DCOM by any IP network, so SimageM2M LinkServer and OPC Server may reside on different machines.

Custom interface creation. Integrated GUI Builder helps create dynamic custom forms, screens, widgets and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) with hundreds of highly configurable components. Several graphical interfaces may be combined into a flexible dashboard for real-time process control.

Expression language and scripts. Different components of custom interfaces bind with data using flexible expressions and event-driven pure-Java scripts that may run on both server and client sides of the system, therefore allowing to build complex data processing chains. All expressions are constructed in an interactive Expression Builder and may be also used for alert triggering, event filtering etc. Data bindings are also created using intuitive mouse Drag-and-Drop operations.

Script debugging. Debug both server-side and client-side scripts by logging messages and generating system events.

Customizable device polling and data caching. Every I/O channel and data point may be polled with a custom period. The server caches the most recent data values for accelerating access by other components. Both cached and direct access to every channel/data point is supported.

Event Filtering. Alerts, changes in device status/configuration and communication problems are available as system events of different levels and may be browsed using the Event Log component. Different rules for event sorting, filtering and highlighting are supported.

Alerting. Alerts may be triggered by any system event or state change. Every alert may have unlimited expression-based triggers. Alert notifications include immediate operator notification using popup window and sound, e-mail and SMS notifications and other methods. Pending alerts and alert escalation are also supported. Alert-to-action bindings allow automatic execution of corrective actions in interactive or non-interactive modes when an alert is raised.

Reporting. Advanced reporting facility, built-in report editor, report printing and exporting in different formats. Automatic report generation from any viewed/edited data.

Charting. Support for a wide list of chart types, including dynamically updated charts.

Query Language. Integrated SQL-based query language for data mining and batch configuration updates.

Trackers. Trackers are used for monitoring mission-critical data. Every tracker has an unlimited number of user-defined states, indicated by color highlighting.

Scheduled Tasks. Advanced job scheduler for periodic execution of any device-related or system actions.

Grouping. Grouping and group operations are available. Groups may include devices of different manufacturers.

Configuration Replication. Advanced replication of configuration between devices. The configuration may be copied even between devices that use different firmware versions.

Data Export/Import. Support of export and import of any system or device data to numerous formats, including XML, HTML, CSV, XLS, PDF, RTF etc.

Web-Service. Embedded Web-service allows integration with third-party enterprise applications.

Enterprise/Factory Systems Integration. Java and .NET API's are available for easy integration with ERP, production control, factory automation and other legacy software.
