Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Well, I am a process engineer but I am also dealing with the aspects of instrumentation recently. Please bear with me if i am not that precise with the instru stuff.
Well we are planning to use the following SCADA as suggested by a vendor.
Data Acquisition System along with hardware & software
for data handling & processing
Make: GE Fanuc
RS 232 Communication port
SCADA will have the following functions,
1. Process graphics animation
2. Real time trending
3. Historical Trending
4. Manual data entry tags
5. Alarms
6. Recipes
7. Reports with automatic storage in M.S. Excel format
8. System Dynamic data exchange
9. Security
10. Loop screen for all control loops
I am just trying to figure out whether Compact DAQ can be used for our requirements or not. Note that we require not just data acquisition but also process control. Compact DAQ offers control?
I know i havent probably given the complete specifications of the SCADA, still can anyone suggest whether the costs for SCADA and Comact DAQ would be comparable or not?
