Saia PCD®Web Panel MB
| Web technology
Combination of openness, international standards and universality
The operation/monitoring project is created once using the Saia PG5® Web Editor and saved to the associated Saia PCD® web
server. Each browser can freely access any web server of the automation devices recognised in the network and run its
web HMI application. A web server can handle multiple browsers simultaneously. Web HMI eliminates complex engineering,
duplication of project expenses, software licensing problems and system breaks during operation/monitoring.
The web pages generated in Saia PG5® Web Editor are saved
in a binary file format. This reduces communication costs to
allow efficient visualisation even for lower power connections.
Therefore, only the process points of the current view be-
tween the Web Panel and the automation server are cyclically
exchanged via a CGI interface.
Visualisation of different parts of the system
at one location
The control devices and servers can
be connected across the globe via any
physical connection, which the http
protocol can transport.
Systems are often expanded or equipped
with new functions and must be main-
tained throughout their entire service
life. The Saia PCD® COSinus operating
system was specifically developed from
scratch in-house for use in automation
environments. It is therefore possible to ensure the industrial
service life without being pressurised by large companies that
influence the market. The top priority for Saia PCD® COSinus is
a reliable and continuous operation.
The SBC microbrowser Panel series are essentially based
on this reliable system which has been expanded with the
microbrowser application. This allows the visualisation and operation of web projects which have been created with Saia PG5® Web
Editor. Here, the visualisation project can be saved locally or on a remote server.
Saia PCD® COSinus
A system for operation/monitoring with web technology consists of essentially just two functional elements: a web server and a
browser. The protocol linking them is http. These two functional elements can be combined in the same automation device or located
on opposite sides of the globe.
