InteractX 3.0 Feature Review
• The Big Three:
• Historical Trend Plot and Log Viewer tools.
• Tag Sharing with Interact Xpress
• Data Transfer Capability
• Plus New and improved Tools:
• Pie Chart Tool
• Now Allows the dynamic creation and naming of Alarm Log Files
in runtime.
• Added Page Up and Page Down buttons to the Recipe tool
• Added an option to the slider tool to set the minimum change in
the value when dragging the slider.
10
InteractX 3.0 Feature Review
• New and Improved Functions:
• New string manipulation functions (StrLen(), LeftString(), RightString(),
MidString(), TrimLeft(), TrimRight() )
• Improved CAD importing
• Enabled Drawer rename for remote toolbins.
• Enabled exporting of drawers from remote toolbins.
• Added "Use in Runtime" and "Startup Panel" options to the panel CSM
in the project tree.
• Improved Tooltips by adding the part name and description and by
showing them for groups.
• An upgrade via Deployment now installs all COMM Server drivers.
• Performance improvements
• New Toolbin Entries
• Input List Tool now called Recipes
• Improved Interact Application Imports (GMM Objects)

InteractX 3.0 Architecture Vs. Client
Server
• Review Existing Client / Server
Architectures
• Compare to Parker’s Distributed HMI /
InteractX Supervisory HMI Solution
12
Traditional Client / Server SCADA
Architecture
13
About “THEIR” SCADA Clients
• In competitive Client / Server Architectures the
Clients:
• Require the Server to be present for Data connectivity
to the Controller. (Some serve client screens and data
from server)
• Provide no Local Alarming capability.
• Provide Comparatively poorer Real Time
responsiveness.
• Cost of client HW/SW solution almost ALWAYS
exceeds an equivalent XPR Station. (…and sometimes exceeds an
equivalent HPX Station)
• Clients Can’t Stand Alone – They Require the Server –
which leads to “Redundant Servers” and other
additional Costs.
14
The Whole System in the Real World
• All Data stores (DB, Logging, Trends, Alarms) stored at the
Central server.
• Redundant servers usually specified for System Reliability
• Significant Cost – Server SCADA’s can run Tens of thousands
of Dollars per server. (HW/ SW).
• No Clients till server is installed.
15
• Clients have no direct connectivity to OPC servers or PLC.
• Client cost exceeds Xpress
• Clients have no local Alarm / data storage – must go back to
the server to retrieve data.
• Servers down – Clients are down. No Local HMI.

Why are Xpress and X Different?
• All Data stores (DB, Logging, Trends, Alarms) CAN be stored at
the InteractX station.
• Built in Redundancy through Full featured Web Published HMI’s
at each Station.
•Very Cost effective – start with a Single Xpress HMI and add
supervisory capabilities whenever
• Xpress Stations stand alone or integrate with X for Cell, line or
plant wide data
• Machine HMI’s have direct connectivity to Communications servers or PLCs.
• Machine HMI cost is extremely competitive – with no pre-planning required.
• Independent local alarm logs are available at each Machine Level HMI
• Centralized Application development and deployment is inherent to the Xpress
17 Architecture
What about a Traditional HMI and
SCADA instead of Client / Server
• The Advantages are multiplied even
further:
• Now All of the Machine Level displays must
be duplicated.
• Two Communications connections must be
made to the controller.
• Two development packages must be used.
• Etc. etc. etc.
