4 System description
This chapter describes the use of an Industrial PC as a visualisation device and the required
components.
4.1 Visualisation system structure
The field of visualisation technology distinguishes between three system architectures. The system
structure describes where to find the control system, the visualisation application, and the operator
device in the system.
Depending on the application ...
• control, visualisation, and operation can be carried out from one common controller.
 Integrated control system ( 17)
• the system structure can be composed of different devices (optionally from different
manufacturers in each case).
 Stand-alone application ( 16)
Since the system architectures are independent of the communication between the »VisiWinNET®«
visualisation system and the field devices, they can be freely combined.
More information regarding the communication with field devices can be found here:
