FrontVue is a client GUI (Graphical User Interface) for Windows 2000 and XP. It provides everything you need to design and display comprehensive animated graphics of your process on a PC. However, unlike a traditional GUI, at run-time the real-time information is collected from an OPC server. A wide range of OPC
professional servers is already available from
Plc manufacturers and 3rd parties.
Who should use FrontVue?
End users and system integrators can use FrontVue as an off-the-shelf product.
OEMs can badge FrontVue as their own product. FrontVue can also be integrated with existing
professional software to create an up to date look and feel for an established product without the expense of a complete re-write.
Application Development
FrontVue applications are developed as one or more interactive windows linked to provide menus, process mimics, status pages etc. Each window can contain ActiveX Controls, Java Beans and native FrontVue drawing elements. Integrated development and run-time environments allow changes to be made on-line without the need to compile or restart.
