VISION web applications

Creating web applications in VISION is not a difficult task since every VISION application is web application automatically. You only need to enable the web server in the configuration, that’s all.

Web applications may be single and integrated projects (superprojects), even data can be selected between projects just like in desktop environment. Of-course, addons are working too (trend, data acquisition, alarm etc.)

You can observe it in the following video:

Web applications of VISION do not use cookies because of the implemented server-side identification method based on URL. Therefore, you don’t need to authorize data access by the user, not even in case of public websites. Because VISION is using vector graphic images, the resolution may be set in wide range. But it must be set prior to rendering (pages are not responsive). However, you can freely configure whether sites are left, centered or right aligned.

The web site of Provicon is a good example. Though it isn’t responsive, pages look perfect on mobile phones and tablets because VISION can recognize the browsing device. Further, you can implement browser dependent conditional scripting in the application program. Using this adaptive technic, images may be dependent on the resolution and the orientation as well as the type of the device completely.

Using DMS (VISION-based product), you can create responsive websites with VISION too. Dashboard elements on these reports are converted to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images, therefore pages are freely resizable (autosize) and responsive too. Applying the usual 1/12 resolution, reports may be selected from a large set of freely configurable grid layouts:

The editor is visible in the following video:

Let me call your attention that web applications are always worse than desktop alternatives in every aspect. Desktop images are incomparably faster, looking better, not to mention metamorphosis, the stunning image dissolve methods, but images can’t be distributed to matrix of wall monitor. Unlike thick hardware, browser-based clients cannot run their own alarm tasks, processing, can’t be a server in higher-level network associations, and can’t communicate either.

Therefore, web is rarely the optimal solution by its own. A smart SCADA provides combination of desktop and web depending on the use and location of the workstations. You had better use regular computers in the control room, and web perhaps to access the site remotely or in wireless environment.
