Network Access & Interconnect

Network Access & Interconnect Network access to Prodigy systems or sharing of real time data between two or more Prodigy systems is provided by the following add-ons. Remote Workstation provides full functionality allowing any desktop PC to be used to gain full access to other Prodigy systems. It can connect to any number of Prodigy systems, either on a broadband TCP/IP network or via dial-up connection. The system manager can configure Prodigy Remote Workstation to give full or limited access to each Prodigy system it connects to. Remote Viewstation allows full viewing of remote system information but no interaction. It is a lower cost alternative to Remote Workstation and can be advantageous for safeguarding a system from interference whilst allowing full system viewing. Remote Chartstation allows network access to any Prodigy Chart Recorder system and allows full viewing of the remote system information on any networked PC. Prodigy Over the Web Prodigy Over the Web allows interactive viewing of Prodigy systems over the internet using Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser. Supplied as a web server and one user, additional users can be added allowing simultaneous connections. Prodigy Interconnect Prodigy Interconnect allows sharing of real time data between two or more Prodigy systems. This allows shared data within a network of systems to be used by any of those systems independently. Each system can be configured to use any shared data value for any specific purpose. For example a shared data value may be needed to trigger alarms in one system and be logged by another. Prodigy Interconnect uses NetBIOS and TCP/IP networking to transfer data between systems, allowing any number of Prodigy systems to be connected together. This makes it easy to develop any Prodigy system to provide DCS (Distributed Control System) capability, as required, cost effectively.
