TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS
 

EDS Terminal

Visualization of current values of process measurements in tables, on trends or process diagrams. Overview and analysis of historical data on graphs and in reports. Creation and management of reports. Technological process playback on process screens.

 

EDS MS Excel plugin

Direct access from MS Excel spreadsheet to live and historical EDS data, metadata fields (e.g. units, ranges, alarm lists) and process points properties. Gives the possibility to perform calculations using EDS internal functions (99), including thermodynamic functions. It also supports all aggregation functions supplied by historian functionality.
 

EDS Portal

Integrated web environment providing access to data and wide range of possibilities to analyze and organize data. Allows to view current values of process measurements in tables, on trends or process diagrams and overview and analysis of historical data on graphs and in reports. Enables creation and management of reports and manual data entry forms. A set of specialized plugins, such as gauges or IT monitoring, allow to create customized managerial panels and readable analytical pages. Data, reports and results of analysis can be organized in a multilevel hierarchy. EDS Portal functionality can be extended with own, additional plugins.
 

EDS Mobile

Mobile application available on three leading mobile platforms (Apple, Android and Windows Phone). The application has a set of chosen EDS Portal and EDS Terminal functions optimized for usage on phones and tablets. Allows to visualize current values of process measurements in tables, on trends or process diagrams and overview and analysis of historical data on graphs.
 

EDS Graphics Builder

Process diagrams editor allowing to create vector graphics and configure advanced graphics elements using dedicated language.
 

EDS DbAccess

Basic configuration application of the system designed to manage the points database, process diagrams and other objects. Enables also management of system users and their privileges.
 

EDS Shade Editor

Editor of substitute point values. Allows to enter manual adjustments to recorded data (the original values remain intact in the database) and to enter predicted values that can be used in the future (e.g. in calculations).
 

EDS Calc Editor

Editor of calculation formulas performed by the Calculation Server.
 

EDS Archive Utility

Allows to create and recover backups and to manually copy the archives between various EDS servers.
 

EDS Notification Tool

Tool dedicated to configure the Notification Server. Allows to define filters of alarm conditions, notification recipients, schedules of sending notifications and to create message templates.
 

API C++ i Python

A set of software libraries that allow to create custom software which collects data directly from EDS.
 

Relational database

Live Data Server

Service which receives live data from interfaces.
 

Archive Data Server

Service providing archival data from the database for client programs.
 

Object Server

Service responsible for users authentication and sharing objects (e.g. process graphics source files for EDS Terminal)
 

Calculation Server

Internal EDS service which calculates point values based on current values of other measurements.
 

Notification Server

Service which monitors alarm states of selected process points and sends email notifications when alarm occurs.
 

WebApi Server

Web Services server providing current and archival data for EDS Portal, EDS Mobile and any external systems.
 

Process Graphics Server

Web Services server sharing process graphics rendered to bitmaps.
 

Ovation
