Easily configurable database

OMNIA simplifies database creation and configuration procedure to a matter of fill-in-the-blanks of forms in order define only the really necessary parameters of the project.

This method not only ease the designer task, but it actually shows the right way to automatically generate a clean and complete documentation.

Powerful graphic

OMNIA is compatible with all of the most used graphic editors such as CorelDRAW, Autocad and every OLE compatible graphic tool. For basic bitmap images, Paint, a graphic tool included in Windows, is all that is needed for most applications.

OMNIA includes a wide library of pre built graphic symbols that are very useful to draw the common plant devices such as valves, pumps, tanks, switches, etc. The user can build his own library of symbols that can subsequently be recalled, simplifying the development process of repetitive projects.

Strict security

OMNIA deeply integrates its security functions with Windows NT operative system, which includes all the security features needed to protect every part of the system from unauthorized commands or tampering. The complete event logging and auditing are powerful tools to track and identify faulty events or to keep activity records.

Easy to use tutorial manual

The comprehensive tutorial manual guides the user through all the main steps of the development of a simple but complete application. With a few short lessons the user gradually becomes skilled in all of the available tools.

Complete on-line reference

The complete documentation is quickly accessible and directly as an on-line help that explain all the commands and illustrates several examples showing how to use the system features at its best.

Selective alarm handling

Alarms can be organized in logical groups and assigned a priority, thus allowing meaningful views of alarms related to different sections of the plant, as well as hiding less significant alarms in a specific condition.

On-line configuration

Every OMNIA project parameter, either a database object or a graphic symbol, can be added, modified or deleted on-line keeping active all the real-time supervisory and control activities. This feature can increase the speed the project tuning, usually done at the customer site with all devices regularly running.

Open architecture

All data managed by OMNIA can be exchanged with other Windows applications in real time using standard protocols like DDE. Off-line treatment of data is also possible by using formatted exchange files, thus allowing the user to operate on his familiar tools and work on the same system which simultaneously runs supervisory functions.

Versatile trends

Every variable managed by OMNIA can be sampled and analyzed on-line and off-line, automatic and manual scaling and conversion allow heterogeneous data to be meaningfully compared. Sampled data is shown both in graphical and numerical mode.

Open connectivity

OMNIA includes several communication protocols which can directly connect to PLC of most brands and models. New protocols are continuously developed, extending connectivity to special-purpose devices such as fire and intrusion detectors as they are available. A driver toolkit is available for power users who need to develop a special or proprietary protocol driver.

High level languages control programming

When it comes to process control, OMNIA is a powerful help to PLC in all the activities that require complex or distributed programs that deal with data located in several devices. The ability to use modern high level languages simplifies the development of control sequences easy to conceive, document and maintain, which can also be reused in many similar projects.

Wide scalability

OMNIA has no upper limits in terms of managed variables or graphic symbols, and is only limited by system resources such as RAM size and disk capacity.
