The powerful Movicon™ 11 alarm management guarantees
maximum precision in managing events and provides users
with a rich source of information consenting continuous and
immediate feedback on ongoing plant situations to improve
efficiency and reduce production downtimes. The Alarms are
managed for default according to the ISA S-18 normative, but
are completely customizable and manageable as objects with
numerous properties adaptable to every need. The activation
thresholds, fixed or changeable, determine alarm activation
statuses (ON, OFF, ACK and RST), and Active Alarms are
displayed and managed graphically in the Alarm window or
as banners with various filter options (by time, area, priority,
period, etc.). Includes option to link dynamic help and
guidelines from external files (CHM, HTML, PDF).
The alarm intervention times can be configured by choosing
an activation time from PC or using the “TimeStamp” variable
value. The many properties allow you to set colors, alarm or
message managements, speeching (text-to-speech), printing,
command executions, and more.
The alarm history management (Historical Log) automatically
records all events (Alarms, Driver or System Events) in
archives in relational database tables using the powerful
ODBC Manager or in text or XML files. The data archive (Ms
SQL Server for default) guarantees maximum openness,
consenting file management in SQL Servers and others (such
as Oracle) with the topmost transparency to user and project.

11. Statistical Analyzer
Tools capable of statically analyzing machine downtimes
during production runtimes are crucial to factory production
and maintenance managers. The data analysis quickly detects
any critical points within the production process to enable
plant system efficiency and productivity improvements. It is
difficult to improve productivity without this information. This
powerful tool is used for managing events and production
downtimes analytically in order to generate reports on total
or partial plant downtimes. This information, in table, pie or
histogram chart format, provides a list of alarm occurrences
for the time frame specified and classification by “Duration”
(total times of all the occurrences of the same type) or by
“Frequency” (Total number of occurrences of the same type).
The reports can be displayed and printed on command or on
event as desired and exported in various formats (Excel, PDF,
HTML). The reports provide all detailed information in detail
on each individual alarm analyzed.
Alarm Dispatcher
Unmanned or remote systems must guarantee and
transmit information immediately to on-call duty staff
to prevent prolonged production downtimes and delayed
production deadlines. This is where the alarms play an import
ant part and are configurable in all Movicon™ projects. The
Movicon™ Alarm Dispatcher, notifies events, sends alarm
alerts to staff using Voice technology (Text-To-Speech
telephone notifications with voice synthesis), with SMS, E-Mail
(with or without attachments) or by Fax. The supported Ms
Messenger is also an essential feature for plant systems
connected in net 24/24 (local or web network). Notifications
are sent to assigned Users or User Groups. Messages can
be sent according to customizable time schedules, calendar
dates, work shifts, and on-call duty staff shifts.The Alarm
Dispatcher’s notification system is configurable on each event
(ON, ACK, OFF and RST) as required and supports notifications
in TTS SAPI S.1, E-mail SMTP and MAPI protocols, SMS (GSM
and SMPP) protocols.
Programmed Maintenance and
instant guidelines
Movicon™ simplifies programmed maintenance management
by allowing the user to activate alarms not only with the
associated variable’s real value but also with its duration
‘statistics’ value. This makes it extremely simple to set
activation thresholds on set-points relating to the variable’s
total ON time. External files can be easily associated for
activating userfriendly help files (HTML), movie files (.AVI),
sound files (.WAV) or BMP files to support the system operator
while they work.

SQL Server™ for default, until specified otherwise. Each of
the three engines has different tasks. One records process
data using the Data Logger resource, another historically logs
Events while the third manages the powerful and sophisticated
task of tracing variables (Audit Trail). As an alternative to the
ODBC recording engines, Movicon™ offers the use of an IMDB
manager (In Memory DB) that enables data (Data Loggers,
Events or any other data) to be recorded in simple text format

16. Powerful built-in
functions
An Editor rich in functionalities and
objects means writing less code and
less time spent in developing projects
Every developer is well aware how essential it is to have a
wide range of tools left at their discretion in order to create
and deliver projects to meet end client needs and satisfaction.
Movicon™ 11 has been designed to do just this by offering
a wide range of functionalities, native and integrated in the
platform to cover every developer need. These include a
great variety of resources and objects, pre-built and totally
configurable to satisfy every industrial and civil supervision
need. These features have been designed to help the user create
sophisticated projects in the simplest and clearly guided way
possible.
Schedulers
The scheduler objects are innovation at its best to offer you
numerous functionalities for maximum configurability.
These objects are executable in runtime based on different
pre-settable time ranges. The Movicon™ schedulers manage
different calendar dates and plans, with freely configurable
time formats, for any command type. Great user freedom
to establish which commands or events to Schedule for
activation in their own calendar date plan or holiday plans.
The schedulers are powerful visual planners that are fully
supported in Web Client and Windows CE runtime as well.
One of the key requirements for a supervisor is full support to
HMI devices without keyboards (Touch Screen). All objects
requiring data settings are associable to virtual system
keyboards (NumPad or Alphanum Pad) or custom alternatives.
All in automatic and predisposed to Touch Screen support with
ease and simplicity. Furthermore, the Movicon™ virtue
keyboard graphics are totally customizable. Movicon™ 11
introduces support to multitouch gestures, that include
pinching, zooming, dragging and panning to view or change
page, multi-touching or tapping several points or objects
simultaneously and other touch techniques.
Event Objects
Keyboard Management
All the project commands can be managed through event objects
within the project. Command lists can be defined and configured
using a wide range of predisposed functionalities and actions. Event
objects are great time savers. There’s no need to write code because
command actions can be executed within the project in association to
events generated by variables (tags) or actions associated to
command objects (i.e. Buttons, menus, etc).
Touch Screen and Multitouch
Keyboard management generally consents you to create
commands in association to keys or combo-keys known as
‘Accelerators’ or ‘shortcuts’. These very useful functions are
indispensable to systems without mouse pointer devices or
touch screens. Movicon™ 11 allows you to manage commands
in the project’s ‘shortcut’ resource by associating keys directly
within the graphical object properties to create command
equivalences.
Scaling and Statistics in Tags
Tags consent to intelligent scaling parameter definitions
(engineering unit conversions). The purpose-built ‘Scaling’
objects permit further conversions, allowing the more
complicated “non linear conversions’ to be managed with
simplicity. In addition, all tags allow you to manage statistic
values such as minimum and maximum, average, total time ON
values in daily, monthly and yearly parameters.

17. Menu editor
Movicon™ provides the usual “Menu” resource allowing you
to create menu objects and submenus structured on managing
commands within the project’s user interface. Pop¬up menus
or custom system menus committed to the active window can
be edited visually.
Speech Recognition
Movicon™ supports the Speech Recognition functionality
that can be defined in Shortcut objects to enable commands,
associated to keyboard key strokes, to activate on vocal
command once acknowledged and confirmed by the integrated
Speech Recognition system.
IP Camera support
Movicon™ supports a very handy native and integrated video
IP camera functional in ethernet. The IP camera viewer
object is located in the Movicon™ 11 toolbox and is managed
in the same way as the other objects. When used on screen
it shows streaming video images from the IP video camera.
Images can also be transmitted via Web or shown on HMI
panels based on Windows CE.
Multilingual
projects
The Movicon™ 11 projects are truly
“international” and can contain all text strings
in an unlimited number of languages. Projects
can be localized to any language with any
character type (Unicode also with UTF-16 coding
for Asian and Arabic characters). The texts can
be managed in a String Table within the project
and directly supports copy&past from the Ms
Excel ™ Editor. Each language corresponds to an
XML text file and can be changed and activated
instantly when needed in Edit and Runtime
mode. Different languages can be associated
to different users to enable the system font to
change automatically according to the language
of the user logging on.
Project Upload
Movicon ™ integrates project or project modification
uploading services to target devices, both in local or public
networks. These intelligent upload functions are also
accompanied with other commands (run-stop, debug) for
performing operations in remote projects.
Windows Services Support
With one simple command the Movicon™ project can be run as
‘Windows Service’. Full operating system integration is easy
with the option to completely customize Desktop access
management, system key usage, CTRL+ALT+CANC, and other.

18. Integrated
Languages
Powerful VBA engine, multi-threading
functions and Power Templates. AWL
language for the not-so-expert user
Object oriented programming may not always be capable of
delivering solutions to suit the particularities of complicated
demands and requirements. Even though one of the roles of
a Scada platform is to reduce or avoid the use of script and
code this is not always an option. Using code or script may
result indispensable when performing calculations, functions
or customizing the more complex functionalities, such as
those used for accessing databases, managing ActiveX,
OCX, or special peripherals, algorithms, calculation
functions, and other. Whatever needs to be done can be done
with Movicon™ 11 and the built-in languages to accomplish
unmatched solutions to suit every need.
VBA Language
Movicon ™ 11 has a powerful integrated VBA engine, capable
of executing code perfectly compatible with the VBA standard
(Visual Basic for Application™) with the use of a powerful,
immense range of APIs. Properties, events and methods are
available for customizing any system functionality type. The
VBA scripts can be executed as normal routines
or encapsulated in objects in response to events as
graphical objects, alarm objects, templates, data loggers
and more. The Movicon™ 11 VBA language guarantees
multithreading so that a number of different VBA script can
be executed at the same time to provide solutions that no
other system using standard language can
offer. The powerful debugger can perform step-by-step,
break-points plus other operations. The new Movicon™
11 VBA engine supports VB.Net technology, so that VB.Net
syntax can now be used to manage software components
based on the .Net technology. The Movicon™ 11 VBA Engine is
also integrated in versions for Windows ™ CE, guaranteeing
maximum performances and maintenance of the same project
in WinCE systems as well.
Expression Generator
Movicon™ 11 provides a VBA Expression Generator to edit
expressions directly in objects as an alternative to using Tags.
Logic Language
Movicon™ 11 integrates another language type defined as the
IL logic. This language is sequential combinatory type (CLR
Combined Logic Result) typically used by PLCs (Instruction
Lists or AWL) a Movicon™ 11 applied concept. A powerful
instruction set permits you to manage logics and calculations
with just PLC programmer know-how, without being
specialists in the more powerful VBA language. This language
is now a Movicon™ 11 tradition, adopted and in-use since
earlier versions. In addition, Movicon™ 11 has its own and real
IEC 61131 SoftLogic, described further ahead.
Synapsis Language
Movicon™ 11 has developed a whole new way of programming
with the Synapsis language. By using the integrated VBA
engine, the synapsis language enables you to create logic
block graphics which can be linked together using
“Connectors”. A library containing a vast variety of
ready-to-use Synapsis Logic Blocks can be found in the
Template symbol library. You can also create and add your
own to this library as well. By using this innovate feature you
can use a variety of different symbols (i.e. Motors, valves and
other symbology-like) as an alternative to using conventional
function blocks.

19. Open up
new horizons
Openness is the Movicon ™ 11
philosophy based on XML technology
Progea has always believed in maximum openness, a
concept engrained throughout their software technology. The
courageous decision to make Movicon™ project structures
go XML-¬ based technology has today paid off, consenting
maximum exposure to openness never experienced
before. Immediate for use this technology is purposely
aimed at benefitting users with the best advantages. The
XML metaLanguage is structured text defined by the W3C
consortium international standard. All the Movicon™ 11
projects, resources and objects are simple XML files,
therefore accessible by any other Editor. An option to encrypt
project files at an instant, at anytime, is user prerogative
and has been fully provided sustaining the concept of “binary
file ownership”. Disposing projects in XML surpasses the
“importation-exportation” concept, permitting access to
text structures of any project item or object, whether from
Movicon ™ 11 or any other external Editor.
A bridge over troubled water to a new “auto¬programming”
way of life. encouraging the user to venture in predisposing
macro and script that, based on related regulations, give
way to creating and generating parts of projects or the entire
project itself. Movicon™ is fully equipped with “Wizards” to
generate project structures automatically using VBA code.
The XML technology innovation goes one step beyond and
extends the openness concept to freedom of choice in
historical data formats, where you can now choose the one
most adaptable for your purposes if the one proposed by
default is not (Ms SQL Server), such as Oracle or MySQL.
Openness means freedom to decide which is the most
appropriate for your needs, to reuse third party objects and
components such as ActiveX, OCX or external DLL, with
“Safe Mode”, or make your RealTime database transparent
to external relational DB tables with one¬click to connect
automatically.

20. Runtime for Windows CE and
Windows Mobile offers open and
powerful HMI solutions
Movicon™ CE is a runtime engine which runs the same
Movicon™ 11 XML projects. Your projects can therefore be run
on your HMI device, on operator terminals, PDA, Palmtop PCs,
Smartphones, mobile and Wireless Systems (Pocket PC and
HandHeld), autonomously and independently, with or without
connecting to server or client stations or without Server
Terminal. Your WinCE device can actually be the Server or
Web Server to other client stations. Movicon ™ CE, installed
on your WinCE device means that you can run projects created
in your Movicon™ 11 platform: one project only, the same file,
run on different platforms, all made possible by the project’s
XML-based structure. This means much greater management
simplicity, significant reductions in maintenance costs and
maximum information transparency.
20

Just the one software for flexible
and scalable applications
With Movicon™ CE you can create compact and powerful HMI
visualization systems. Movicon™ CE can be deployed in HMI
systems with small compact Touch Screens, based on Windows
CE 6 or 7. Movicon™ CE is the HMI software for 320x240 color
Touch Panels (1/4 of VGA) but can also be scaled in grey, up to
high-ranging terminals with 6”, 8” 10” monitors and superior.
Other typical Movicon™ CE applications have been deployed
onboard mobile and wireless systems (i.e. PocketPC), both as
supervision Client stations and ‘stand alone’ mobile applications.
By using Movicon™ CE, the operator terminal becomes a small
Scada station, offering hardware independence, network
connectivity with superior information systems (Scada, MES
managerial) enhancing machine potentiality.

Lightweight Multi-platform
Architecture
Movicon™ Web Client exploits the java technology and Web
Service communication for visualizing and controlling your
automated plant from any client station in local or geographic
network. The Web Client solution designed by Progea does
not need extra installation or configuration on the server side.
Multiuserness, bidirectionality and security are all guaranteed
simultaneously without needing complicated configuring. The
Movicon™ Web client technology exploits the Windows™ Web
Server (IIS) for default, connecting your entire plant through
the web with just a few clicks. Furthermore, the Movicon™
applications for Windows™ CE support Web Client access to
enable simple HMI stations to become Web Servers.
Movicon™ Web Client is very thin (about 300 Kb) and can be
run in any browser with any operating system, thanks to the
java multiplatform support. By exploiting HTML pages created
automatically by Movicon™, the Web Client enable users to
visualize and control production processes from any part of
the world based on TCP-IP protocol concepts optimized for
public networks using a low bandwidth rate. This also comes
with an encryption option for truly “web enabled” applications.
The innovative advantages of Movicon™ Web Client enable you
to monitor and optimize production processes at a low cost.
JavaPhones
Whatever you happen to be manufacturing, you can get
Web visualized to control and monitor the entire
your plant Client
automated system and machines. This will allow you to beat
ownership license, development and system maintenance costs.
Data is centralized in distributed architectures only where
Windows Mobile
needed: on the Server. Clients can display and interact with the
Web Client
Movicon™ project to which they are connected, without needing
additional licenses and development costs thus simplifying
maintenance. Modifications executed on the Server will
immediately be updated to all Clients.
Windows / Linux
Web Client
Secure Architecture
Being aided with the SOAP and Web Services technology, means
that you don’t have to modify or open firewalls when clients
access your factory floor system to guarantee total security. Data
between Server and Web Clients is encrypted when transmitted
to guarantee public network security. As for command access
security, the Web client stations allow commands, predefined
on Server, to be activated with the same security procedures.
For instance, if a command requires password authentication
on the server, it will also require the same authentication
(Log On) in order to be activated through the web. All accesses
and commands are traced and recorded in the Server Log.
Furthermore, Web Client station Log-On is totally independent
from the other stations where other users can log on with
different user level privileges (Multi-user). The Server system
can also be configured to display data only, disabling any
possibility for Clients to activate commands. Furthermore, you
can configure the graphical project objects to be made visible or
invisible on the Web Client side.
