Welcome to the new age of industrial automation: web-based solutions. Control System Works is an HMI/SCADA/EMI software application development framework that allows:
  • operators to supervise industrial automation process from many compatible platforms;
  • plant managers to view production operations using a web browser from remote locations without compromising security;
  • industrial system integrators to create high-availability industrial automation solutions that use data from a variety of sources (PLC, OPC, database);
  • application developers to create contemporary, fully scalable and animated web graphics for process visualization taking advantage of existing third party components available on the market today;
  • analysts to use their favorite sophisticated tools for alarm and historical data analysis;
  • casual users to access HMI screens without client software to install or maintain.

On the back end, Control System Works offers a modular, service-oriented, open architecture based on Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) technology, that allows application engineers to configure complex distributed solutions without writing a single line of code.

Control System Works was designed with security issues in mind. It can operate on top of a number of standard secure communication protocols that guarantee data privacy and integrity.

There is a lot of discussion centered on concerns over responsiveness and performance of web-based solutions. Again, Control System Works was designed to address these issues: it uses available network bandwidth for data transfers efficiently, transporting only actual data changes between distributed components.

Learn why Control System Works may be the right solution for you and what does it look like from inside. Download the framework and a few demo HMI applications. Enjoy switching from expensive, monolithic legacy HMI/SCADA/EMI application packages to a new breed of industrial automation solutions without paying a dime - Control System Works is free.
