iFIX 6.1 from GE Digital Improve operational productivity by driving decision support with High Performance visualization High Performance HMI/SCADA increases efficiency & reduces costs With just a glance, operators should be able to recognize which information requires their attention and what action needs to be taken. They need to know quickly what problems have arisen and how they can be addressed efficiently. You can enable smart operators with new fourth-generation HMI/SCADA. The new iFIX 6.1, part of the Proficy family from GE Digital, leverages the latest technologies that help deliver faster time to insight and greater efficiency for your operations while speeding time-to-insight for system integrators. iFIX 6.1 offers several core enhancements to decrease deployment time, while increasing operational efficiency in a highly secure-by-design method to improve equipment uptime and reduce cost and risk. These enhancements include a new native OPC UA client driver, web-based configuration with automatic tag population in the iFIX database, new High Performance alarm-related Dynamos, and more. Ease connectivity and reduce deployment time with a native OPC UA client and HTML5 browser-based configuration with tag auto-population Speed response with modern screens and ISA 18.2 alarm management Reduce troubleshooting time with higher situational awareness, using High Performance HMI layouts and context-driven navigation based on a model structure Enable action anywhere, anytime with native responsive web design Minimize maintenance time and costs with zero deployment clients Provide real-time data feeds to your supply chain through secure-bydesign, standards-based communications Enable superior design flexibility for consumption of third-party HTML5 content Improve connectivity and deployment with native OPC UA and Web-based configuration iFIX 6.1 introduces a new native OPC UA client driver, which can be added to any iFIX server. As a native driver, this new option offers higher performance. Once added to the iFIX SCU, users can configure the server, groups, and tags using a new HTML5 browser-based configuration tool. iFIX 6.1’s powerful new HTML5 native web client allows users to configure the connection to the OPC UA server, browse for data sources, select a set of tags, and automatically populate the iFIX database with the new tags. This new Web-based configuration also supports High Availability SCADA synchronization out of the box. Find information easily with a context-rich HMI based on the model structure This context-rich HMI changes as the user moves through the system. Navigation is derived from the model structure built by the engineer. The context follows the asset definition and is defined only once for a class of assets. This prescribed experience provides operators with relevant information – in context – and minimizes the effort to find it. Designed to the High Performance HMI guidelines, iFIX 6.1 improves operator decision making and speeds response. Reduce time to solution with High Performance HMI out of the box To help engineers create the right user experience, iFIX 6.1 contains predefined objects and templates designed using High Performance HMI concepts. With Version 6.1, iFIX High Performance Dynamos include new support for alarm operating limits. Users can add and enable smart alarm limits to horizontal and linear gauges and tanks. Achieve visualization where you need it, anywhere, any time Thanks to our wide range of HTML5-compatible clients such as Webspace and Web HMI, iFIX screens can be used to deliver information anywhere, any time, on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone – regardless of the form factor. Reduce risk with secure-by-design technology iFIX leverages open and secure standards such as OPC UA, digital certificates, and Web tokens, which means you can deploy with confidence. Take advantage of GE Digital’s iFIX Secure Deployment Guide for best practice recommendations. “iFIX is the easiest way to hook to a variety of things … We haven’t found anything that iFIX couldn’t overcome.” John Franklin, Logic Systems Administrator, Ari
