Features & Benefits of Reliance 4

visual development of applications (visualization projects)

managing components placed into visualization windows, visual configuration of components' properties, modifying properties of any number of components at a time (even for components of different types), rotating components, duplicating components, intelligent component alignment and layout, visually linking components to tags (Drag & Drop), grouping components, moving components onto another layer

duplicating visualization windows with optional substitution of components' links to tags

managing pictures imported into a visualization project

managing a visualization project's structure (control areas, computers, users, devices, database tables, etc.), configuring computer-specific properties, configuring the behavior and functionality of the runtime environment for individual computers

managing devices, tags (both simple and structured), communication zones and alarms/events

centrally managing the list of SQL servers

managing real-time trends to display most recent data

managing custom reports based on templates in TXT, HTML or internal format (based on XML)

managing scripts written in VB Script, checking script syntax, code templates

managing users

securing access to specific operations by access rights

defining unlimited number of languages (including Asian) in a visualization project, Unicode support, managing text strings and translating them into defined languages)

support for room control modules IRC manufactured by Teco

components for working with IP cameras (AXIS and Vivotek)

locking (encrypting) a visualization project

importing tags from ST and XML format based on IEC EN 61131-3

debugging scripts with an external debugger (Just-In-Time debugging)

new Replace Object Properties Wizard

time-limited licenses (quick replacement for damaged or stolen keys)

visualization project diagnostics (detecting invalid and missing links to objects, invalid and missing property values, invalid paths to files and directories, invalid data types, checking project consistency)

development of network applications with TCP/IP communications between computers, including support for redundancy; defining server connections (primary and standby) and a list of devices whose data and alarms/events should be transferred through the connections

loading and running a visualization project
