During this training course we will create a complete project implementing the common
features needed for most real projects.
SCADA software is used in various industries (power supply, water treatment, man-
ufacturing etc.). We have selected a building management project because it can be under-
stood without specialist knowledge.
Figure 1
You can design a PcVue project in several ways but, because PcVue is object oriented, there
is one best way represented by the following diagram.
Figure 2
l The first floor has one room. The second floor has two rooms.
l The building includes two lifts. Data is collected using Modbus TCP/IP protocol.
l All rooms have one air conditioner and one light. These data items are collected with
an OPC server.
l Manage alarms.
Specifically for the training we want to have mimics to display some basic features such as
animations. Later when you design an actual project you can come back to these mimics to
remind you.
l Lift
The data involved are:
l Door opening,
l Floor (1 or 2),
l Air conditioner
The data involved are:
l Temperature value,
l On/Off control,
l Vendor.
l Light
The data involved are:
l On/Off,
l On/Off control.
The customer wishes to have the same layout and a clear navigation among mimics.
l Logo
l Navigation bar,
l Login/Logout button,
l Current alarms.
