Introduction

Developed by Elipse Software, Elipse E3 is a powerful platform for supervising and controlling processes, fully focused on network operation and distributed applications. Elipse E3 is a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system that offers an advanced object model, a powerful graphical interface, in addition to an architecture allowing fast application development and maximum connectivity to devices and other applications. Its concept incorporates state-of-the-art technologies in software development, increasing performance, productivity and quality of applications, as well as the process itself, thus reducing costs and losses.

Systems built with Elipse E3 usually start from real-time data collection from data or control acquisition devices, such as PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), RTUs (Remote Terminal Units), DAQs (Data Acquisition Boards), Multi-Loop or Single-Loop controllers, fire panels, and weighing machines, among other devices. These equipments usually have some interface allowing its connection to the software, such as standard serial RS232, RS422, or RS485; radio or modem (private or dial-up lines), TCP/IP or UDP/IP, boards directly linked to the computer bus, and others. Elipse E3 reads and writes data from devices through modules, or I/O Drivers, that implement the protocol available in each one of them, whether public or private domain. These Drivers can still be in an Elipse Software format or in OPC (OLE for Process Control) format.

With this data, users can create many ways to display, analyze, control, command, store, or disclose such information, such as:

Screens: Allows creating an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) locally, through local network or Internet, aiming at displaying current or past data status in many ways, using a graphical editor and specific objects

Alarms and Events: Monitors the occurrence of specific situations

Historics: Stores data in relational databases

Reports: Allows viewing and printing data, among other modules and possibilities
