ControlCare - Field-based Control System |
|
ControlCare P View is part of Endress+Hauser's ControlCare field-based control system (FCS).
ControlCare is a combination of software and hardware components based on open standards, the purpose of which is to connect Endress+Hauser devices to process control, operating and maintenance systems. It provides quick and easy system integration and ensures that the benefits of fieldbus technology are available at all levels of the control hierachy. ControlCare components can be used to supplement a third-party system, or be used as a control system within its own right.

Application |
|
ControlCare P View is a powerful PC-based visualization program that operates via OPC servers with HART®, Modbus, PROFIBUS®, FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ and many other industrial communication protocols. It supports standalone application, client-server operation and Web Access.
Together with FieldCare, the Endress+Hauser Plant Asset Management Tool, which can easily be integrated into your visualization, you are able to configure and adjust any device parameter. This optional software can be invoked directly from the Graphical User Interface.
ControlCare P View offers all the possibilities of modern, graphical process visualization. |

Function & system design |
|
| Function
P View is a powerful SCADA software that operates as an OPC client. By using this interface the software works
with all available communication protocols, e.g. FOUNDATION FieldbusTM, HART®, Modbus, PROFIBUS®. In
addition, it offers a connection to most of the PLC and DCS systems on the market.
P View supports stand-alone applications, client-server architecture, Web Server and redundancy for the
configuration of your special needs.
Endress+Hauser offers P View with a number of stand-alone OPC Client Applications:
|
|  | P View Graph for graphics
| | P View Trend for data collection and trending
| | P View Alarm for alarming |
Each client application is an ActiveX container featuring Internet/intranet-ready object technology and offering Microsoft's Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) technology. Endress+Hauser client applications communicate directly with an OPC server, which in turn communicates with the hardware devices in the field.
P View is a suite comprising software components that provide a complete solution for HMI/SCADA software applications. In addition to the three main modules above, a several other software modules are available as add-on options.
System architecture
The system comprises a PC which, depending on the options chosen, is connected to the network backbone via a network card or an appropriate interface card. The network is built up using direct connections to devices, linking devices to fieldbus segments or remote I/O to conventional 4...20 mA or HART® devices. P View clients and Web Clients can be installed at different locations via Ethernet. An optional modem connection allows
remote operation and diagnosis.
Additional operating stations
P View allows additional operating stations (clients) to be connected to the central monitoring station (server). Client-server connections are done via Ethernet. There are two types of client available, fat and lean, whereby it is possible to have both in the monitoring system. The clients have to be purchased together with P View basic package. A later extension of P View is possible.
|
| | P View Client
Client stations are connected via Ethernet. They give direct access to the server station and there is no limitation on the number of I/Os nor on the functionality. Clients work with a subset of the P View software but without local OPC data.
| | Web Client
As P View has an integrated Web Server connections can be made via Internet Explorer from anywhere in the world to the application running on the server station. The connection can be protected with firewalls and other security mechanisms. There is no special software needed on the client side. The standard internet tools offer the functionality required on the P View server. Only VBA script has to be transformed in VB scripts to run on the Internet. |
