Machines, Equipment, and Sensors
Your factory is constantly generating data. iFactory provides state of the art Internet technology to bring the data to your browser.

EDAS 1000 Series
EDAS (Ethernet Data Acquisition Systems) provide the link between your equipment and the network. EDAS units provide remote access to serial, discrete IO, and Analog signals over Ethernet.

iFactory Monitor
iFactory Monitor is a WebDevice application for machine, process and equipment monitoring. HTML pages and forms guide the user through configuration and setup. iFactory requires no HTML coding or programming to bring your factory online.

The software is available for Windows PCs (95/98/Me/NT/2000)

iFactory Monitor can read and write data to any EDAS unit over any TCP/IP capable network. One server can be interfaced to any number of remotely located EDAS units.

When run on EDAS CE unit, iFactory monitor provides a complete self-contained monitor and control system. Simply enter the EDASce units IP address into your browser URL windows and you are on-line. Or combine a PC server with EDAS CE units to build a versatile and robust distributed monitoring and control system.

WebDevice WebServer
WebDevice server is the heart of the system, providing the link to the user. WebDevice receives HTTP requests and formulates an HTML response that includes static and dynamic content. This allows for the presentation of real time data in a browser. WebDevice script language provides dynamic HTML capability for accessing factory data. It also provides server side scripting capability for the processing of data between I/O, files, databases, and clients. Users can choose to add their own HTML and scripts to fully customize iFactory and it's capabilities. The built in IDE (Integrated Development Environment) eliminates the need for authoring or programming tools.

Real-Time Data Displays
iFactory Monitor also includes applets for the real-time display of data. The applets are downloaded from the server and run as a component of an HTML page. The applets register with the server, allowing the server to provide real-time data updates. Applets include charts, meters, list boxes, and alarms.

Clients 
All user interaction with iFactory is through a browser. Access to iFactory Monitor requires an HTML 4.0 compatible browser and a TCP/IP connection. Clients can connect through their local Ethernet or remotely through Intranets or the Internet.
