SBC S-Web Technology
Saia Visi.Plus: The PC-based management/SCADA software with ideal fit for SBC S-Web.
The Saia Visi.Plus objects/templates are visually/graphically identical to those of SBC S-Web. This means it has the same look and
feel whether it is a Windows or a browser application. This makes the boundaries seamless. In practice, SBC S-Web and Saia Visi.
Plus are often used in parallel. This is particularly the case when optimising the operation of many systems and large properties.
For such tasks, Saia Visi.Plus can be used without license fees. (For further detail please see chapter B1.2 "Application software for
Windows PCs")
The PC application undertakes the useful task of automatically capturing the decentrally distributed operating data/
applications of a property. If the decentralised data files are not deleted, the reliability has a heterogeneous data redundancy.

Classic PC-based control and management systems can be easily
combined with S-Web. Existing control/management/SCADA
software can be used in parallel with S-Web by using tried and tested
mechanisms (e.g. OPC, BACnet). SBC S-Web also allows access to data
directly via the web server CGI-Calls; without any middleware such
as OPC (for more information on this, see page 240“Web server
standard CGI interface“)

Saia Visi.Plus: Ideal with integrated Saia PCD® and S-Web.
4. Quo Vadis: PC-based control/management software?
With S-Web, the entire automated system/ICA operation of a property is ensured without PC/Windows applications.
However, classic PC applications are still useful and necessary in many cases. Trough the autonomy of the automation level
enables these PC applications to be less closely coupled to the automation pyramid and therefore more “replaceable”.
Using S-Web reduces the service expense associated with integrating PC applications. It is only necessary to realise the truly
over-arching, global process views. The system- and object-specific views are already realised by S-Web and can be requested
via a browser.
