As far as modern automation requirements are concerned, all industries are facing the challenge of how to bring automation to a higher level and enhance the performance of their systems. To achieve this goal, many factors must be involved, such as: programming tool selection, program coding, program debugging and performance tuning, etc.. Each one of them could be truly a real headache, and always takes tremendous resources and time during the whole system development. Now the PAC controller leader-ICP DAS unveils the Web-based intelligent PAC controller- WISE v1.1- a perfect automation solution that realizes features of easy-to-use, easy-to-maintain, affordable, foster development process, and comes with intuitive web-based tools. It takes only 4 steps to complete the logic rules design for the controller: Start Web Browser → Connect to WISE’s Web Server → Edit Logic Rule Setting → Download Logic Rule to WISE. By WISE, user can minimize the investment in time, labor and cost spent on automation system development.

WISE offers a user-friendly and intuitive web site interface that allows users to implement IF-THEN-ELSE control logic on controllers just a few clicks away; no programming is required. With its powerful and easy-to-use features, it will minimize the learning curve, shorten time to market and dramatically reduce the labor and cost spent on system development. Through Web browser, users connect the built-in Web Server on WISE controllers to perform tasks such as IF-THEN-ELSE logic rule edition and upload. Then the Rule Engine will be set up to manage and deploy logic rules for the controllers. From now on, it will do actions accordingly, for examples: setting up I/O channel values, performing the Schedule or Timer tasks, sending Email or SMS message under a specific condition. In addition, through the Modbus TCP protocol, SCADA package can be seamlessly integrated with WISE to perform real-time monitoring or control for I/O channel or system status.

In WISE v1.1, we provide more useful features such as: calendar interface for more convenient Schedule setting; CGI commands sending to interact with Surveillance Systems; Recipe provided for Group Actions function. Moreover, based on WISE Advanced P2P function, users can expand logic rule design from single WISE controller to multiple WISE controllers. Now all WISE controllers can freely share their status information such as DI/DO/AI/AO channel value, Counter value or Internal Register value to each others. The Advanced P2P function of WISE greatly increases the convenience and minimizes human error especially when performing complicated logic rule design involves communication between multiple controllers.

WISE features Easy-to-Use Web Interface, provides wide range I/O modules to choose from, offers full-functioned software tools and enables seamlessly integration with SCADA package, etc., WISE is your best choice in Building Automation, Factory Automation, Machine Automation, Equipment Remote Maintenance/Diagnosis/Monitoring, Facility management and Environment Monitoring applications.
