ProSoft i-View is presented in a tabbed interface. Every tab has its own role within the
application and allows for different functions. With ProSoft i-View you can monitor data
coming from various PLCs.
Generally, you will use the S
ETTINGS , F ILE S ERVER , F ILES , and C ONNECTIONS tabs during
deployment stages.
The H
OME tab shows real-time values of process variables in PLCs, and is the one you
will use for normal monitoring. ProSoft i-View automatically goes to this tab on launch.
ProSoft i-View uses the concept of Data Sources (see Data Sources (page 15)) and
Connections (see Connections (page 69)) to do its job. Data Sources contain the variable
definitions and Connections represent links with PLCs. A Source is always associated
with a Connection, but a single Connection can belong to several Sources.
ProSoft i-View also supports user accounts with access levels that can limit the ability to
perform certain operations
