Q & A

The features required for the server are directly related to the number of monitors, devices to be controlled, and manual and automatic functions to be performed. It is recommended to seek advice from Profen.

The functions required for the client are directly related to the manual and automatic functions that will be performed. It is recommended to seek advice from Profen.

People who have received Visionic Administrator Training or Visionic Advanced Engineer training can install the Profen Visionic system.

Yes, the server can operate in a redundant structure. When the server operates in a redundant structure, all data is automatically stored on the backup server. So if there is a problem with the main server and it is disabled, the backup server will ensure the continuity of the service without interruption.

There is no limit to the number of users in the system. Considering the performance measurements, the number of users using the system simultaneously is limited to 9 If the project requires more than 9 concurrent users, Profen can be consulted for a solution.

Yes, users can be defined many different roles. For example, a permanent role can be authorized to monitor only one parameter of a device, while another user can be authorized to monitor the entire system, change parameters when necessary, or redesign the system.

No. The installer and the systems to be controlled may be in different locations. The only condition is that they must be connected to the server over a well-functioning TCP/IP network. If systems distributed in different locations are managed from a single point, a detailed analysis is recommended before the Profen Visionic system is installed, that is, at the design stage, as delays in query-response time will affect the overall system performance.

Yes, different systems in different locations can be monitored and controlled from a single point. To avoid performance issues, remote systems should be connected to the server with well-functioning TCP/IP networks.

Anyone who has received Profen Visionic Advanced Engineer training can design and build their own system. If you have not taken this training, it is recommended to get support from the Profen Visionic team for GUI and Dashboard design.

How Profen Visionic should behave in the event of an alarm or alarms can be pre-programmed. Thus, in case of alarm or alarms, in other words, pre-programmed conditions occur, the determined actions are taken automatically. Example: If an alarm has occurred in the on-line device, the stand-by device is activated.

Yes, all alarms are logged. The user decides the length of the logs or how long they will be kept in the database during the system design phase.

Yes, alarms can be masked. Thus, the occurrence of the alarm can be prevented for a certain period of time.

Yes, logs are time, importance (severity), device etc. can be filtered and examined by likeness.

Yes, audible alert is a standard feature. The user or operator can turn this feature off if desired.

Yes, the system can send e-mail or SMS message in case of alarm. Integration with a mail application is required for e-mail and with an SMS server for SMS.

Yes, all operator actions are recorded as well as alarms. The operator itself cannot delete them. The information entered into the database can only be interfered with the “Administrator” authority.

Yes, the system comes with MS-SQL as a standard. If integration with other databases is desired, the Profen Visionic team should be consulted during the project design phase.

Yes, the information in the database can be transferred or shared with a third party system.

Yes, the information written to the database can be considered as a trigger by the system. For example, the change of a parameter in a device at a certain interval can be considered as a trigger for an action to be executed. For example, if the level of the “beacon” signal measured over an antenna at a ground station drops below a certain threshold, an evaluation of “heavy precipitation” and transferring the traffic to another station geographically is typical practice.

Devices to be connected to the Profen Visionic system must be connected via TCP/IP at the physical layer. Devices that cannot provide this can be connected to the system via an adapter. In addition to the physical connection, there is a need to define the device as a physical or virtual object in the design and to develop “driver” modules that provide communication between the device and the server. For the details of the subject, it is recommended to get support from the Profen Visionic team.

Yes, not only active systems but passive systems can be connected to Profen Visionic, for example to see if the door or window is open/closed. For an accurate project implementation, all devices and objects to be connected to Profen Visionic must be predetermined and listed and reported to the project design team.

Yes, any active, passive device or object can be connected to Profen Visionic. All devices and objects to be connected must be listed beforehand, their roles must be determined and reported to the project design team.

Yes, CNC machines can be connected to Profen Visionic to monitor and control. It is necessary to list the machines to be connected in advance, to determine the parameters to be monitored and to inform the project design team together with the M&C information of the machines.

Yes, any active, passive device or object can be connected to Profen Visionic. All devices and objects to be connected must be listed beforehand, their roles must be determined and reported to the project design team.

Yes, routine work done in a facility can be automated with Profen Visionic. The work that needs to be done should be listed in advance and the project design team should be informed before the design.

Yes, some non-routine but conditional actions can be automated with Profen Visionic. The work to be done must be listed in advance, the conditions must be determined and the project design team must be notified before the design.
