New generationWebEditor for Web HMI/Web SCADA
Across the years
The base technology of the current version
5.15.02
originates from 2004. Application
developers have long recognized the great
benefits of the web technology and are pro-
ducing complex web HMI applications. The
possibilities of the current WebEditor have
been exhausted. The WebEditor has con-
stantly been updated with new functions,
but its structure makes it increasingly difficult to
meet the user requirements. Particularly with re-
gard to user comfort and efficiency for the produc-
tion and maintenance of complex web HMI projects
limitations have been reached. It is comparable to
a building that cannot be endlessly renovated and
extended without changing or reinforcing the foun-
dations. For that reason, we decided to develop the
S-WebEditor on the basis of modern technology
and methods.
What does the new
Version 8 offer?
The main aim is to reduce
the development time so
that the project can be cre-
ated and maintained simpler.
Clear structures make every-
thing better manageable.
So the external appearance
must be more modern and
friendly. At the same time the
«
building» is bigger and has
sufficient reserves for further
development.
The S-WebEditor Version 8 offers more efficiency
through:
–
simpler and intuitive controls
–
high-performance libraries for macros and project
templates
–
better integration in the PG5 Controls Suite, in order
to produce web projects more securely and faster

®
WebEditor Version 8
For a quick start, short learning curve and more
efficiency in project production.
Within Saia®Web technology, the S-WebEditor simplifies and creates web pages for
visualization. Java or HTML programming knowledge is not required. In 2004 we
brought out the Saia®WebEditor with Version 4.01. Today, over 90% of our customers
work with theWebEditor and benefit from our web technology as a recognized stand-
ard. To meet user demands, theWebEditor is constantly being developed. After seven
successful years, a further step in the life cycle of the tool is planned – a completely new
development. The Saia®WebEditor Version 8 is currently under development and will
enter the market in 2012.

A manageable and adaptable workbench for
efficient work
The workbench consists of the menu/command tool-
bar, the view editor and the so-called pads. Thanks
to the docking window technology, the pads can be
positioned, shown and hidden according the user's
preferences.
New action and condition editor
With the new action editor, active elements such
as buttons can be customized to a variety of
actions. The list of actions is provided in a functions
editor. Actions that have been created can be re-
used for other processes within the same project.
In the same style in the condition editor complex
conditions can be created and reused.
With these important new features, the user
comfort and efficiency of the S-WebEditor 8 have
been decisively improved.
