EasyBuilder 8000 Development Software

For performance and functionality typically found in larger scale SCADA Systems, look no further than the PowerView 8000 Operator Interface Terminal Series. EasyBuilder 8000 Development Environment takes full advantage of the PV-8000’s high resolution display with a wealth of application development tools. The complete EasyBuilder 8000 Development Software ships with every unit and is also available for free download.

The advanced object libraries containing bar graphs, trend displays, list & dropdown menus, user configurable shapes and engineering icons facilitate fast mimic and screen development reducing project implementation time. Alarm management, historical and real time event & trend functions are functions not typically seen on graphical OIT platforms.

A suite of efficient application test tools allows the developer to simulate off-line and online for both single and multiple device applications from the PC. Additionally, a full control function allows the developer to run multiple simulation screens on a single PC to monitor data from many PV-8000s simultaneously.

Serial and Ethernet Communication

Ethernet and Serial are included in the extensive Communication options. The PV-8000 also has its own Peer-to-Peer capability to share data across Ethernet.

EasyBuilder 8000 Development Software ships free with every unit, also available for free download.

Global Data Access and Exchange

Through Ethernet, each PV-8000 can communicate with one another and exchange data with other PV-8000s. In addition, each PV-8000 can operate the devices connected to other PV-8000s. Global Data Access also facilitates remote monitoring and fault diagnosis.

Importing/Converting Projects from PV-500 Series

EasyBuilder 8000 provides the ability to import and/or convert projects created for the older PowerView 500 Series models into fully-functional projects that can be edited in EasyBuilder 8000 and utilized on the PV-8000 Series.
Offline Simulation

Simulate the operation of a PV-8000 directly on the PC without actually having a PV-8000 and a PLC.
