Product Description
The Canvas Software includes the
Canvas
®
application development
software in addition to the Runtime
software for the PanelMate ePro PS
and the OPC servers/drivers. Canvas
software is used to develop Operator
Interface applications for PanelMate
ePro PS industrial Operator Interface
products. The powerful editing
environment in Canvas delivers state-
of-the-art features previously available
only on more expensive, high-end
SCADA packages. The included drivers
in the form of OPC servers support
Ethernet and serial connectivity to
virtually any PLC platform or network,
as well as a wide array of drives,
motion controllers and databases.
No additional fees are required.
Because the typical application devel-
opment expense of a Human Machine
Interface (HMI) often far outweighs the
expense of the hardware, the demand
to design and implement these
advanced solutions quickly is of para-
mount importance. That is why the
Canvas advanced Operator Interface
software package was designed with
ease of use and timesavings in mind.
Consistent functionality in Canvas
from one control to the next and from
one area to the next will help you
maintain your sense of place within
the project and shorten the develop-
ment time. Canvas makes it easy to
create and maintain an application
with advanced features such as multi-
language, security, recipe manage-
ment and data archiving. Data may
be exported, edited and imported
with Microsoft Excel, saving time
and ultimately reducing the cost of
the project.
