Panorama.TabletPC

Panorama.TabletPC allows the SCADA application to be accessed from a Laptop / notebook "TabletPC".

(available as an option for PANORAMA v8.0)

Main uses
Panorama.net is designed for mobile personnel having a need to have access to the process's industrial information whilst they are on the shop-floor or when they a working on a number of different sites.

Solution
The client functions of Panorama are directly installed on a classic Laptop PC or a Notebook PC (Tablet PC). It connects to one or more single or redundant servers via a standard network or a wireless network based on 802.11a/b/g (55, 11, 11-55 Mbits). No changes need to be made to the application and the mobile station is considered to be an additional client station.

Usually the portable PC can be connected in Terminal Server mode if it's on an industrial network or in "Pure Web" mode if it is on the general office network of the enterprise.
In these two modes, it is necessary to install a machine equipped with Windows 2000 Server on the industrial network. This server is connected to one or more Panorama data acquisition single or redundant servers.

Advantages
Thanks to the portable PCs, the operators can travel around with a machine on which standard office application can be loaded. The Tablet mode allows a specific type of portable PC to be used, which has a tactile screen, the ability to be turned around and to use a keyboard and stylus. A special version of Windows XP allows it to be used horizontally or vertically and to use the screen with natural handwriting.
