New Features in VTScada 11

Be Productive in an Hour

  • The enhanced installation wizard gets you up and running quickly by introducing important features and guiding you through the process of installing core components, creating applications, and adding graphics.
  • Redesigned Help System – An easily searched electronic reference that walks you step-by-step through common tasks with helpful troubleshooting advice. Hit F1 any time for help with what you’re doing.

Simplified Pricing and Licensing

We have made it even easier to choose the type and size of license you need.

  • More Standard Features – The expanded Development Runtime License includes once-optional mission-critical features such as OPC, ODBC, Web Services, and Application Version Control.
  • Even More From Your Tag Count – Since VTScada is licensed by the number of tags used, we want you to get the most from your tags. Now, only I/O and calculation tags count towards your tag count.

  • Draw first and add tags later, or vice versa – Work your way. If you like to lay out graphics first, you can. If you’d rather start by creating tags, you can do that too.
  • Over 200 new graphic ‘Widgets’ – It’s a snap to represent your system values as photo-real meters, switches, buttons, and animations.
  • The Expanded Image Library – Includes over 4,500 industry-specific images, symbols, polygons, and data-driven animations. Easily import BMP, JPG, WMF, and EMF formats by dragging them from your desktop.
  • Photo-realistic Background Tiles – Easily create a common look and divide pages into areas of interest. Choose from over 100 patterns to drop on and resize.
  • Lighting Overlay Tiles – Add depth to pages and direct the focus of operators.
  • Style Settings Tags – Create consistent display conventions for groups of Widgets (e.g. red represents “off” and green “on”) without configuring individually.
  • Select and Align – VTScada makes it easy to create clean uncluttered displays.
  • Rebuilt Pipe Drawing Engine – Draw or edit striking 3D pipes with just a few clicks.
  • Simple Tag Interface – A panel lists all the tags drawn on a page and allows you to change tag references individually or in bulk using a search and replace dialog.
