The secured client workstation captures and stores program updates in the AutoSave library. Periodically, the server uploads programs from networked control devices, detects and reports changes, then can create a new program version for synchronization with the client workstation. The Agent performs much of the work of uploading and downloading programs and performing comparison functions. For sites with large numbers of devices to be uploaded in a limited amount of time, multiple Agents can be used. The scheduled compare feature can be distributed amongst several Agents for parallel processing of the unattended upload, compare, update, and notification.

Modular Licenses

Modular pricing enables you to start small and add device support as your needs grow. Modules may be purchased based on the device count and device type needs of your facility.
