Client

The WEB-FAQtory Client displays data in a 100% runtime configurable, highly graphical schematic/HMI. Saves data to the WEB-FAQtory Server and serves any connected Monitors. Interfaces to PLCs. DCSs, etc. via OPC and DDE along with several hundred built in drivers.

Unique TCP/IP based network OS means ONLY THE DATA is transmitted to the server, utilizing the minimum possible bandwidth (this is not ODBC!). In a worst case real-world scenario with 16 tags saving twice a second, bandwidth requirements would be around 100 bytes per second.

Dial-up the Server, no dedicated IP address required. Connect 24, hourly, daily, weekly or whenever. Works behind Proxys/Firewalls. Multiple Clients/Monitors can share a single Internet connection. No dedicated (static) IP addresses required utalizing the unique WEB-FAQtory DNS Service

If real time data isn’t required, all data can be buffered on the client and scheduled to transmit once a day/week. If data is sent in real-time, option to send only the data to be saved with no server real-time display to conserve bandwidth.

No loss of data! If the network goes down or the Server goes off-line, the client will buffer the data and retransmit when the network/Server is available again.

Fully configurable data save options.

On Change. Save all data.
Snapshot: Value currently displayed every N seconds.
Average: Averages all data inputs over N seconds.
If Greater than, if Less than or Between values.

100% Runtime Drag and Drop interface with full control over Display type, fonts, colors, transparency etc.

Alarms/Events. Comprehensive Alarm and Event management. More...

Trending. The industries most advanced Trending engine. More...

Runs on one or many PCs (unlimited license) with unlimited tags. Clients can run on the same PC as the Server (Monitors also).

100% Runtime. All Schematic building/changing is made to the live schematic. This makes the Client several orders of magnitude easier to use than any other HMI application. No swapping between the development and runtime environments. For normal run conditions, all objects in the display are Locked as below and no changes to position or properties can be made.

Right clicking the mouse and selecting “Unlock all Objects” enables any changes to the schematic. Drag & Drop, Resize, Copy & Paste, Change Properties, Add/Delete, etc. to any object, whilst the schematic is running.
