1 ACRON plant-wide data historian highly scalable and fault tolerant architecture data analysis, reporting and evaluation audit trail mechanism, document proof easy to develop easy to use

2 ACRON performance and flexibility The basis of every automated system is it s data. This forms the basis for all logging, analysis and verification of quality. As the foundation for all company operations, data is crucial for improving productivity, providing protection against claims for recourse and thus in determining the success of the company. Business advantages In all business fields, products will only be competitive if it is possible to boost business efficiency. This not only applies to operating companies in search of reliable products but also to the end customer. If quality, productivity, profitability and security can be improved, production will be optimised. In addition, this reduces the costs for maintenance and compliance with regulations, as well as allowing staff to respond promptly. ACRON is the perfect solution for fast assessment using historical data.

3 Application possibilities The philosophy ACRON is a manufacturer independent product. This concept enables ACRON to be used in nearly any sector. The already finished projects show that the product is being used more and more in the national and international market. The concept enables ACRON to be used in nearly any vertical market. Realized projects show that the product fulfills a lot of different requirements and that it is being used worldwide. Nearly all kind of analysis and reports are relisable so that there is a wide range of applications. The scalable product, the client / server architecture and the data security make the most project requirements satisfiable. ACRON is characterised by easy handling, flexibility and simple project planning (two-layer concept). With this product, which offers outstanding value for money, we guarantee maximum perational reliability and data security as well as high availability. We contribute to the success of our customers, and they influence the product accordingly. In a continuous dialogue, new ideas and requirement impact on future functionalities in ACRON. The experiences of the last 15 years are reflected in the design and efficiency of the product. Different language versions and an option to change the language (even in the project) predestine ACRON for the internationally operating plant and machine construction. Please ask for the actual available languages.

A connection to SAP is available on demand. More than 20 direct connections to HMI SCADA and other SCADA are done over certified interfaces. Multiple remote protocols can controlled via different remote connections. The import of timestamps in ACRON is a standard functionality. As a few examples there are ODP via GPRS and Sinaut (Siemens). ACRON moduls Provider Reporter Data acquisition from any source. Link to more than 20 different HMI / SCADA OPC und DDE OPC HDA Ethernet, Industrial Ethernet, MPI, Profibus, Modbus and many other protocols Data pre-treatment in memory Telecontrol interfaces High data security through Three Level Cache (TLC) The comfortable operating interface from ACRON. In a clearly structured environment: reports and protocolls are displayed, archived, printed out and/or sent by data backup and data export are initiated manual inputs (laboratory values) are recorded

5 Graph Alarm/message and service modul Convenient and user-friendly display using curves. Measuring points or e.g. minimum/maximum values and other statistical evaluations can be identified differently using various markers special display of digital variables in graphs comprehensive statistical evaluations relative/absolute time offset for every variable unlimited analysis of data very fast access to data The ACRON tool for the creation of all necessary malfunctions and message reports and their comprehensive statistics. In the service module operating times, runtimes and switching cycles continue to be saved and summed up and then submitted to an anticipatory maintenance system. Complete unit histories can be displayed, and the acquisition of times and costs is possible. Excel add in Data collect Convenient access to all data in ACRON for simple and fast import of values. Embedded in the MS-Excel environment, further evaluations can be created very easily. The query mechanism is easy to configure and an online mode is also possible. A function designed to collect any values from different ACRON projects in one central application. This function is either automatic or manual using dialup or dedicated lines. The standard applications are, for example, regional water and waste water associations which wish to perform benchmarking or companies with more than one production location and a requirement for production data to be evaluated centrally. Consistent data management via higher-level control centres is ensured and a hierarchy of multiple levels is possible. ACRON web Reading access to all data in ACRON. Web based analysis and queries allow the complete access to all data in ACRON. The ACRON Web-client enables the reading access to all reports and graphical data views. It is possible to integrate this into the plant control and ERP system (e.g. SAP).

6 Reporting ACRON generates comprehensive reports from process data for freely selectable time periods. Helpful compression algorithms produce data for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly reports. It is also possible to generate reports that have variable times (for e.g. shifts). Event or batch reports are defined by start and end conditions. These types of reports are often found in the process and food industry as well as in the production. Reports and application examples from various industries are available. The report assistant helps the user to generate complex reports quickly and reduces the project planning time. Nearly all protocols and calculations are possible. Fulfilling laws and regulations ACRON fulfils standards laws and regulations of many different branches (e.g. 21 CFR 11, ATV M260, TA Abfall, etc.). Through its flexibility it is easy to assign process values to individual layouts. This enables the user to gain fast access to information out of his plant and amortisation of his investment.
