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 both for Windows and browser applications. 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. Saia Visi.Plus can be used with no licence fees required for these tasks. (For more details please see
Chapter B1.2 "Application software for Windows PCs")
The PC application undertakes the useful task of automatically capturing the remotely distributed operating data/applica-
tions of a property. If the remote data files are not deleted, the backup has a heterogeneous data redundancy.
Classic PC-based control and management systems can be easily com-
bined 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 direct via the
web server CGI calls; with no middleware such as OPC (for more infor-
mation on this, see page 240“Web server standard CGI interface“)
Saia Visi.Plus: ideally integrated with 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. The autonomy of the automation level enables
these PC applications to be less closely coupled to the automation pyramid and therefore more “replaceable”.
The use of S-Web reduces the service expense associated with integrating PC applications. It is only necessary to implement
the truly over-arching, global process views. The system- and object-specific views are already implemented by S-Web and
can be requested via a browser.
