About InduSoft Web Studio
InduSoft Web Studio applications consist of animated operator-interface
screens, communication drivers (for PLCs and I/O protocols such as
Modbus, DFS, Profibus, and so forth), tags database, and additional modules
such as alarm monitors, logic, trend charts, recipes, schedulers,and security
system.
IWS applications interface with industrial I/O systems and other Windows
applications in the run-time environment using ODBC, DDE, NetDDE, OPC,
or TCP/IP protocols. You can also operate the application through a standard
Web browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape).
The product consists of two parts:
The development system software, which runs on a desktop, laptop, orindustrial PC running Windows NT/2000/XP.
The run-time system software, which runs on any operator interface
workstation running Windows NT/2000/XP or
Windows CE.
Note:
The run-time system software for the Windows CE operating system
(CEView) is usually pre-loaded on the HMI. If necessary, you can update
the CEView version of the development system software by downloading
the currentversion to the HMI or PDA.
You can run IWS applications on your development workstation or download
it to a run-time station (through a serial or TCP/IP connection) and run the
application using the IWS or CEView run-time software. The workstation
processes scan data from connected devices according to parameters defined
in the application and then react to, display, store, and upload the data.Welcome to InduSoft Web Studio Getting Started Guide
