The FactoryLink Advantage
FactoryLink has many distinct advantages that provide true value to our
customers including...
Lower hardware costs.
FactoryLink's superior high performance architecture does not require as
many computing resources as competitive products to achieve an
equivalent level of performance. This reduces your overall hardware,
software, and support costs.
Grow as you go.
The exception-processing architecture allows you to scale applications
from the very small to the very large with minimal additional hardware
costs.
Compliance assurance.
Detailed audit logs, multiple security levels and other advanced
features facilitate building applications that are compliant with
industry standards and government regulations (21 CFR Part 11, TREAD
Act, etc.)
Harness the power of the network.
The multi-tier architecture design means that it can be deployed in a
wide-array of flexible architectures including single station,
multi-station client/server, and peer-to-peer.
High availability.
Best-in-class application redundancy and online configuration
capabilities are easy to set up to ensure that your system is
continuously up and running 24x7.
Comprehensively open.
Open, published interfaces based on industry standards means your
application can be seamlessly integrated into virtually any environment.
Everything you need.
Only FactoryLink includes Microsoft SQL Server and true Microsoft VBA in
the box, ensuring that you can assemble a complete solution without
incurring additional and costly third-party licenses expenses.
Comprehensive Functionality
Every FactoryLink system comes with comprehensive functionality to get
the job done as fast as possible...
FDA 21CFR Ready
NEW in FactoryLink 7.5 is the complete set of functionality necessary to
build FDA compliant HMI/SCADA applications including digital signatures
(single and double), detailed audit trails, reason codes and more.
Graphical User Interface
FactoryLink's graphical interface is called Client Builder. It provides
a comprehensive object-oriented visualization environment with embedded
Microsoft VBA to enable a completely tailored solution. NEW in
FactoryLink 7.5 is the one-click client that enables rapid deployment of
client nodes across the net.
Alarms and Events
The alarm manager is completely distributed, so multiple applications
can aggregate their alarms and events, allowing a single user to view,
acknowledge and respond to geographically dispersed applications. NEW in
7.5 is the ability to e-mail alarm status and acknowledgements.
Reports
NEW in FactoryLink 7.5 is a comprehensive reporting application that
enables up to the second analysis of monitored industrial processes.
Integrators and users can add their own reports to the extensible
reporting framework.
Create Applications Even Faster
NEW in FactoryLink 7.5 is a 10x performance enhancement in the automated
creation of systems via our groundbreaking application object technology
allowing systems to be build entirely from Excel, ODBC data sources or
question and answer forms.
Networking and Redundancy
FactoryLink easily supports redundant applications with its advanced
networking functionality. It is just as easy to build other network
topologies including standalone, client-server, multi-station and
peer-to-peer configurations.
Trending
Users are capable of easily viewing the real-time and historical
information simultaneously on any single chart, enabling operators to
make more intelligent operational decisions.
Data Logging
FactoryLink provides high-speed recording of large data sets in a
column-oriented schema for raw speed or a row-oriented schema to easily
enable dynamic additions.
Relational Database Interfaces
FactoryLink supports any ODBC database such as SQL Server, which is
included with the product. The relational database interface can
communicate simultaneously with multiple back-end databases from
different vendors.
XML Interface
Real-time bi-directional access to the FactoryLink database is available
to any XML enabled external application.
Device Interfaces
A rich library of external device interfaces is available covering
hundreds of popular shop floor devices including PLC, RTU and DCS
hardware.
OPC Client
Standards based communication to any OPC enabled data source is easy and
quick using FactoryLink's included OPC client.
OPC Server
Unique in the industry, OPC is the standard communication mechanism
between a FactoryLink server and client. You can use the OPC server to
broadcast real-time data to any standard OPC client.
Math and Logic
A powerful server-side Math and Logic scripting language enables almost
any unique requirement to be met. It can be either interpreted for easy
debugging or compiled for maximum speed.
Recipes
A recipe task enables easy batch download and upload of process
variables with FactoryLink.
Custom Tasks
Tasks developed with the programmer's access kit are completely
integrated into the FactoryLink system and are configured the same as
FactoryLink tasks developed by Tecnomatix.
Performance and Scalability
FactoryLink provides the speed and performance necessary to handle all
sizes of applications from very small to very large. It can scale from a
system with just a few tags and one user to one with millions of tags
and hundreds of users, without sacrificing performance.
Platforms
Supported platforms included Windows 2000®, Windows XP®, and Windows
2003 with graphical remote access via FactoryLink ClientBuilder, the NEW
FactoryLink one-click client or Windows Terminal Services.
