Distributed Client-Server Architecture
iFIX can be configured from the machine and remote I/O level to the enterprise and advanced analytical layer. This enables iFIX to scale from small to large applications with capabilities to serve the data to as many as 200 thick clients at the same time.
Native and OPC Connectivity
With a rich and proven set of over 500 I/O drivers, iFIX enables you to connect to a wide range of hardware no matter its manufacturer.
Store and forward capabilities
You can store and forward alarms to a relational database or Proficy Historian through the OPC Foundation certified OPC A&E Server, providing the ability to access alarms and events through simple SQL queries.
Prebuilt Graphic Objects, Management and Toolkit
iFIX offers over 500 prebuilt graphic objects (dynamos) from basic lights and gauges to ISA symbols and equipment. iFIX dynamos are objects that can be versioned with the option to follow a master-instance linkage, which automatically replicates changes.
VisiconX Objects
You can connect to any relational database by simple configuration of wizards. You can access simple data from a single database or combine multiple queries to access complex data from various sources.
Reliable Containers
iFIX offers an extremely reliable ActiveX® container based on Secure Containment technology. Its GUI container has been specifically designed for high reliability and offers technology that can capture failures of third-party ActiveX controls and scripting without crashing the container environment.
Historical Data Logging with iFIX.
You have two tightly integrated out-of-the-box storage options:
- Proficy Historian (100 Tags Included) helps you address the need for more demanding node-based applications and more centralized data logging. iFIX supports configuration of Historian through a single environment, which allows you to quickly set up your applications.
- Classic Historian (Unlimited Tags) manages the typical data logging tasks of a small application and can be used throughout the iFIX application.
Powerful APIs for Data Access and Automated Development.
You can easily customize iFIX with various toolkits that enable system integrators and OEMs to apply iFIX to virtually any application.
