A fully integrated package, MX4 SCADA's easy-to use configuration tools and powerful features enable you to quickly develop and deploy solutions which can handle the most complex requirements for any size enterprise.

Tailored solutions

MX4 SCADA 's exceptional flexibility maximizes your productivity by allowing optimal system architecture in the way that best suits you - giving you access to powerful, dynamic features for both centralised and distributed processing.

Scalable solutions

Based on Microsoft technologies, MX4 SCADA has been designed with an innovative, scalable architecture. This preserves your initial investment by allowing your system to grow with your requirements, without modifying system hardware or software.

Reliable and redundant solutions

MX4 SCADA minimizes downtime by offering unrivalled reliability. It utilizes DCS style, built-in, redundancy that can tolerate system failures anywhere with no loss of functionality or performance.

Applications

Naturally, MX4 is a powerful tool for visualisation and control, specifically in the area of interfacing with PLCs (with integrated FastLinx communication). Furthermore, MX4 can be used in applications as diverse as manufacturing machinery, material handling control and discrete continuous manufacturing.

Business benefits

Integrating MX4 with business systems lets users maximise productivity, improve product quality and reduce both maintenance and operating costs.

Features

MX4 is available as a free development package, which helps to reduce the cost of usage. Key features include graphical process visualisation, historical/real time trending and advanced alarming and reporting. The installation procedure is customisable and totally scalable - simply upgraded with a new software key.

Simple to configure

A full set of user expandable libraries with graphics symbols and templates are included. There are also other time saving features such as "Fill in the forms" configuration, express Wizards for PLC communications, Genies for configuration of complex animation objects and Super Genies for repetitive plant processes. Configuration time can be further reduced by importing and synchronizing tag definitions direct from PLC packages to MX4 SCADA. There are a host of other functions included to reduce set up costs and time, and MX4 even allows system functionality to be further expanded with off-the-shelf third party applications using ActiveX objects. This gives the maximum flexibility while using proven tools to minimize implementation problems.
