Status Vision Designer - Technology Preview

This release is for preview purposes. A Beta will be released in a few weeks. Please report all bugs you encounter to support@mobiform.com

Mobiform’s Status Vision Designer is a powerful HMI design product with built-in connectivity to real-time OPC data and can very easily be extended to bind to other data sources. Status uses XAML as its native file format for HMI screens, allowing data binding and control animations to be done with just a few clicks.

Status’ resources include hundreds of XAML-based industrial clip-art and over 70 pre-defined manufacturing controls including Buttons, Gauges, Indicators, LED Displays, Linear Gauges, Motors and Fans, Pipes, Rotary, Sliders, Tanks and other Miscellaneous controls.

Status Vision Designer allows binding of real-time data to any property of any WPF control
regardless of whether it is one of Microsoft’s WPF controls, 70+ Status controls, or third-party WPF controls. The binding engine provides the necessary connection and data subscription information to be embedded exclusively with an XAML layout definition. All this is accomplished without the need for coding the interface or underlying bindings to a dependency property of the element.

HMI Applications can be large and are generally produced with a main screen and a hierarchy of sub screens. In Status Silverlight web applications, each screen in the project is an XAML page. One of the advantages of using a web application for an HMI system is that the ‘links’ to content in the XAML pages can be linked to content other than XAML. For example they could be to supporting technical documentation in PDF format, video, audio, or even to other web sites.

Traditional HMI projects can have 100 or more screens in a single project making it difficult to manage. With Silverlight applications, individual blocks of functionality can exist as a single manageable web application with each block providing a discrete view and a limited number of screens. By having one web application linking to another, applications can be infinitely scalable and can exist in different geographical locations. Using Mobiform’s Status Vision Designer and the latest technologies by Microsoft, HMI integrators can now create Silverlight applications as compelling as those on the desktop with performance to match.

The Trend control in Status captures and displays live, dynamically updated real-time data as well as indexed historical data in a Line Chart format. Trend controls’ functionality includes the ability to zoom in/out to arbitrary ranges within the data, support for live and real-time data point manipulation, and scrubbing through the available data history. Users are also able to choose a shape (from a predefined list) and fill to be used to mark plotted points of data.

The complete Status Vision Designer package creates a new, feature-rich environment that is far more accessible, flexible and streamlined than standard HMI development.
