Function

ControlCare SPC150 is an industrial PC with preinstalled operating system, Internet Explorer and
P View Web-client. It is supplied as part of a packaged solution that also includes a P View SCADA
application installed on a second computer.
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 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, local and
worldwide access to the HMI pages of the P View server. The connection is established by entering
the P View server URL in Internet Explorer - just as in Internet.
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.
