I'm going to be working on some InTouch and System Platform projects - I've not worked with WonderWare before and am wondering if someone could give me a quick run-down of the different HMI/SCADA offerings so I can wrap my heads around their potential applications.
With the transfer of IP between Invensys / Schneider, and Aveva, I'm a little confused on how the different products are positioned, who the target end-user is, and potential use cases.
The Wonderware / Aveva website outlines a few different products, and I'm not sure the difference between them.
- InTouch HMI
- InTouch Edge (InTouch Machine Edition?)
- System Platform (formerly Archestra System Platform?)
I understand (roughly) InTouch is HMI and System Platform is SCADA. Not quite clear on the difference between the two InTouch platforms.
To make things a little more confusing for me, from what I've read there seems to be a lot of info about InTouch interoperability with System Platform. I get the sense that they are moving toward a single IDE, kind of like Rockwell FTView Studio manages both ME and SE applications.
Also noticed OASys which appears to be marketed toward Oil and Gas. Citect seems to be a competing offering (originally part of Schneider?).
Thanks!
