In many systems, the ability
to show operators pictures of the plant, either local or remote, during
operations has a high value. Often a picture can provide information that cannot
be obtained in any other way. To be able to see the same pictures when
troubleshooting later adds additional value. Vsystem allows the added benefit of
viewing these same
pictures matched in time with the rest of the plant data, thus completing the picture.
Vsystem video support provides:
-
Display in Vdraw
of JPEG, GIF, BMP, and data stream format.
-
Vlog
recording of these images to disk with playback--just like any other data.
-
Vtrend
display of pictures along with other data in timestamped sequence.
-
RTUnet
Kingfisher RTU video support for reading pictures.
-
Microsoft AVI interfaces
scanner for reading pictures from most Windows-supported cameras and
microphones.
Bringing Video into
Control
|
"A
Picture is worth
a thousand readings!" |
| Video frames are
archived right along with other facility data, so if you have a glitch
in a production value you can review the video images taken at that
time. This could be invaluable! |
-
You
can place any number of cameras in the field, even at very remote
areas.
-
Any
signal change recorded in Vsystem can trigger video recording, such
as a digital signal event when a secure door is opened.
-
Since video frames are
integrated with all facility data, troubleshooting what happened at
a given time will be easier.
