Schraml and more Modules + Functions ACRON has a rugged and fault-tolerant clientserver architecture. The software is scalable and can grow with requirements. Thanks to its modular construction, ACRON covers all requirements of historical data processing - from the smallest applications right up to large distributed systems. Flexible data acquisition The ACRON Provider module ensures data acquisition from any sources. Through open and dynamic data exchange standards, ACRON ensures interoperability and platform independence. Networking via OPC (HDA and UA) and DDE is possible as well as the integration of ethernet, industrial ethernet and many other protocols from industry. With ACRON Provider, more than 20 different control systems can be connected - even in parallel. A variety of functions ensures optimum performance and data security, such as data pre-treatment in the work memory, or three-level cache (TLC). Convenient user interface ACRON Reporter provides you with a variety of tools and applications in a clear environment, e.g.: Display reports, protocols, and graphs And print them Hierarchical plant overview Create data backup and export Record manual inputs (laboratory values)

5 Comprehensive evaluation In the ACRON graph module, you have access to comprehensive and user-friendly diagrams in curve progressions. Measuring points, minimums/ maximums and other statistical evaluations can be identified differently by various markers, e.g.: Display of digital variables in the diagram Extensive statistical evaluations Multiple x and y axes, also with time offset The module enables very fast access to historical or online data and full analysis. Complete report creation ACRON creates meaningful reports over freelyselectable time ranges from the process data. Useful compression algorithms generate continuous data for daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports. Time variable reports (e.g. for layers) can also be generated. Special report types are also taken into account. So, for example, event or batch reports can be determined by the start and end-conditions, as is commonly used in the process and food technology as well as in discrete manufacturing application. Additional report and application examples are available from different sectors. The form wizard also supports the fast and comfortable creation of complex reports and reduces the configuration time by a multiple. Almost all protocols and calculations are possible. Precise process planning With the service/pdca module (Plan-Do-Check-Act), the creation of all necessary error and alarm reports and their comprehensive statistics is possible as well as support of the PDCA cycle for the DIN EN ISO In the service/pdca module, operating times, run times and switching cycles are stored, summed up and transferred into a predictive maintenance. Complete unit histories can be mapped. Simple time and cost registration rounds off the functions..

6 Integration + Interfaces Networked communication Comprehensive native control system connections, OPC, DDE, OPC UA, ODBC, ASCII, CSV and many vendor-specific PLC / DDC protocols are available for data recording. ACRON data can be accessed through standard ODBC and OPC DA. Over 20 direct connections to the HMI/SCADA and control systems are implemented and constantly expanded using certified interfaces (atvise, ifix, WinCC/PCS7 etc.). Various telecontrol protocols can be operated via different connections. Programming of data with the time stamp is a standard feature in ACRON, making, for example, the connection to the telecontrol platform ODP (GPRS) or SINAUT (Siemens) possible without any problems. Also, all data on the commercial software level is available on the web service interface (PPS-systems, SAP, etc.). Effective interaction In combination with the portal solution June5, ACRON database information is available on any web frontends. JUNE5 provides the end user with reports, graphs and captured hand values both for the mobile area as well as on the desktop. The following aspects were decisive in the development: No plug-in necessary for the browser (client) High data security, secure communication Less effort in implementation and parameterisation Intuitive operation High Performance Multi-client capability JUNE5 verfügt über sämtliche Mechanismen einer sicheren Kommunikation über das Internet/Intranet.
