Introduction
Advantech WebAccess/SCADA is a 100% web-based SCADA software solution/IIoT platform with open interfaces for developing IoT applications aimed at various vertical markets.
It also acts as a gateway for collecting data from ground equipment and transferring the data to cloud applications via MQTT publish/subscribe. In addition to traditional SCADA
functions, WebAccess/SCADA features an HTML5-based intelligent dashboard that enables cross-platform, cross-browser data analysis.
The basic components of WebAccess/SCADA are as follows:
1. Project Node: This is the project development platform. It also acts as a web server for all clients to connect to development projects, thus facilitating remote monitoring and system
control. All system configuration settings, project database files, and graphics are stored in this node.
2. SCADA Node: With various built-in device drivers, this node enables real-time communication with and control over automation equipment via serial, Ethernet, or proprietary
communication protocols. It also provides real-time data access for all remote clients.
3. ViewDAQ Client: Through Microsoft Internet Explorer's ActiveX control, ViewDAQ Client monitors and controls the SCADA node. Clients must first connect to the project node to
obtain the SCADA node address before they can communicate directly with the SCADA node. Data can be visualized in real time as dynamic graphics, presenting historical trends
and alarm information for the user. ViewDAQ Client can be used to acknowledge alarms and adjust set-point data, status data, and other information.
4. Dashboard Client: This enables users to access the dashboard server via any browser on any platform (e.g., computer, pad, or smartphone) with iOS, Android, or Windows.
5. WebAccess APP: This provides a new interface for displaying usage information. Connecting to the WebAccess server enables users to perform remote monitoring of control points
and alarms while visualizing trends and communication statuses via the dashboard. Additionally, it provides push notifications for mobile devices.
Feature Details
100% Web-Based Architecture
WebAccess/SCADA is a 100% web-based SCADA software application. As Advantech’s
core IoT application platform, it provides a unique environment for development and remote
maintenance, allowing access to and manipulation of data stored on a central server.
This enables the configuring, changing/updating, and remote monitoring of equipment,
projects, and systems worldwide via a standard web browser, thus saving time that
would otherwise be required for system development. WebAccess/SCADA Professional
comes with 1,024 clients at no extra cost, which, compared to other similar products,
can save a considerable amount of money for system integrators. For edge computing
application, WebAccess/SCADA also publishes real-time and historical data to private/
public cloud platforms via MQTT, thus providing a database for big data intended for use
in cloud applications.
WebAccess APP
WebAccess APP is the new mobile app for WebAccess/SCADA 8.3 and above, with support
for iOS 9 and Android 4.4 and above. With Node.js as the underlying data transport layer,
data can be immediately transferred to phones.
Open Interface
WebAccess/SCADA offers several types of interfaces, including RESTful API and SignalR,
for various applications. First, a web service interface allows partners to integrate
WebAccess data into their apps or application systems. Second, a pluggable widget
interface enables programmers to develop widgets and run Dashboard 2.0. Finally,
WebAccess API provides a DLL interface for programmers to access the WebAccess
platform and develop related Windows applications. By supporting these interfaces,
WebAccess serves as a platform for developing IoT applications in various vertical markets.
WebAccess/Dashboard 2.0
With the functions of the original Dashboard, WebAccess/Dashboard 2.0 uses web services
based on Node.js® as the underlying data transport layer, enabling immediate data transfer
to clients. In addition to obtaining data from WebAccess, the dashboard can also access
data on standard SQL database management systems (SQL Server, MYSQL, ORACLE),
and the web service interface can be used to acquire data from other software systems.
WebAccess/Dashboard 2.0 also comes with a dashboard editor for creating custom
information pages that display analysis charts and diagrams. In addition to more than 40
built-in widgets, Dashboard 2.0 comes with Widget Builder, a widget development tool
that aids users in creating unique widgets. Once dashboard screens have been created,
users can conveniently utilize the dashboard viewer to access data from different devices
via different browsers.
Supports Multiple Drivers
WebAccess/SCADA supports hundreds of devices. In addition to supporting Advantech I/O
devices and controllers, it supports all major programmable logic controllers, controllers,
and I/O devices by manufacturers such as Allen Bradley, Siemens, LonWorks, Mitsubushi,
Beckhoff, and Yokogawa. For vertical market applications, WebAccess/SCADA supports the
DNP 3.0 protocol, which was developed for the power and energy industry. It also supports
standard protocols such as Modbus, OPC DA, and OPC UA, and can be easily integrated
with other SCADA software. All of these device drivers are integrated into WebAccess/
SCADA at no extra cost. Please refer to the driver list for information on supported devices.

WebAccess/SCADA
Integrated with Google Maps and GPS Tracking
WebAccess/SCADA integrates real-time data from physical sites with Google Maps and
GPS location tracking, enabling users to remotely monitor building energy consumption,
field production rates, highway traffic flow, and alarm status information. By right-clicking
on Google Maps or entering the coordinates of a target location, users can create markers
for up to three sites for tracking real-time data. This functionality can then be integrated
with GPS modules to track marker locations via Google Maps, enabling the data to be
shared with relevant in-vehicle systems.
Powerful Excel Reports
For self-defined reporting, WebAccess/SCADA provides a function for exporting reports
to Microsoft Excel. Users can build self-defined Excel templates for automatically
generating on-demand or periodic reports that can be emailed to users in .pdf or .csv
format. Additionally, because the Excel report function is web-based, this means that
reports can be generated and accessed via a web browser from any location. However,
users will need to have purchased a Microsoft Excel license.
WebAccess Express - The Auto-Configuration Tool
Advantech’s WebAccess Express is an automated graphical application that gives remote
control of device information with a single click. It can automatically discover ADAM
and EKI modules connected via a network or serial port, and it can upload real-time
data to a database through preconfigured monitoring interfaces. The tool also provides
remote monitoring functions by allowing for data exchange/communication with SNMP,
DiagAnywhere Server, or SUSI 4.0 APIs, and it allows users to check the CPU health,
memory, temperature, and voltage of target machines. Integrating SNMP, DiagAnywhere,
and SUSI API drivers means that WebAccess/SCADA can be configured to issue an alarm
when abnormal or suspicious data are detected.
Open Data Connectivity
For integration with third-party software, WebAccess/SCADA supports OPC UA/DA, DDE,
Modbus, and BACnet server/client for real-time online data exchanges. Through the
ODBC interface, WebAccess/SCADA can restore historical data in Microsoft SQL Server,
Oracle, MySQL, and Microsoft Access for offline data sharing with MES or ERP systems.
Real-Time Database
The WebAccess/SCADA Real-Time Database (RTDB) was designed to meet industrial
needs for high-speed, large-volume data access. The RTDB’s fully integrated design
means that users do not need to learn how to operate the database. Instead, users can
enable RTDB use on the WebAccess configuration page for the WebAccess SCADA node
to conduct data processing (simultaneous collection and retrieval) at a scale of millions
of records per second. Moreover, the RTDB maintenance feature automatically archives
and deletes obsolete data.
Integrated with WISE-PaaS/VideoCMS
WebAccess/SCADA is integrated with WISE-PaaS/VideoCMS to provide a comprehensive
video management solution that supports real-time monitoring and video playback. With
this intelligent video surveillance system, events can be displayed as alarms and the
corresponding video can be played back accordingly.
Multitouch Gesture Support
WebAccess/SCADA supports multitouch operation and various preset gestures, such as
flick for page turning and zoom in/out, in addition to two-handed operation. This more
intuitive handling style maximizes operating safety, increases usability, and reduces
training time. Furthermore, WebAccess/SCADA also supports multipoint tap/grab/spread
gestures to initiate predefined actions.
Integrated with WebAccess/NMS
WebAccess/NMS is an HTML5-based network device management system that can be
easily integrated with a web interface. Additionally, with WebAccess/SCADA graphics,
users can examine event logs and monitor the real-time status of network devices in the
network topology.
Redundant SCADA Nodes, COM Ports, and Devices
Advantech’s WebAccess/SCADA ensures continuous reliable communication with
automation equipment. The WebAccess backup node activates when the primary node
is down. WebAccess/SCADA device drivers are designed to communicate with backup
ports and devices whenever the primary connection is lost and to automatically restore
to the primary connection when it becomes available.
Integrated with WISE-PaaS/RMM
Previously, WebAccess/SCADA supported only sensor and device monitoring. Now, with
the integration of WISE-PaaS/RMM, it also provides support for monitoring of the status
of equipment, such as the CPU temperature, CPU usage, and board temperature, thereby
enabling remote equipment monitoring.
