This allows for true scalability and high performance accommodated through a flexible client/server architecture and modular software approach that can be easily extended when your application needs expand. Systems Integration Capabilities The system has many dedicated driver protocols available for data acquisition from field devices for enhanced communication performance and reliability. Direct communication plug-ins can be provided to various makes of DCS / PLC / RTU systems on the same SCADA server. It also has many proven communication interfaces through Fibre Optics, serial lines, Wireless Radio, Satellite, xDSL, GPRS, 3G, PSTN, etc. Furthermore maximum use of industry (embedded) standards is made such as OPC, XML, ODBC, SOAP, HTML etc. to connect to third party products and databases. Operating System Independency FAST/TOOLS is a platform independent SCADA system which is supported on Windows, Unix and Linux based operating systems. Many operating systems have been utilized over the years, with many systems still running on other platforms.
