Company profile

Founded in 1981, ARC Informatique is a privately held company with its headquarters in Paris, France. The company manufactures and markets

industrial software. Originally developed for the process industries the software now also caters for infrastructure, utilities and BMS. In 2008, ARC

Informatique launched the PcVue Solutions offer of software, hardware and application support as a global service to the markets of

Infrastructure, OEM HMI, Building Automation, Power Generation & Distribution, Airports, Batch and Continuous Processes.

Certified ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, the company is establishing an

international presence through direct sales offices in the USA, Europe and

Asia. The company has OEM agreements with Jumo, Veolia Water

Division, Quantum Automation and Schneider Electric that allow these

companies to ship versions of ARC Informatique's HMI software under

their own brands.To date, over 41,000 licenses have been shipped. ARC

Informatique also uses distributors as a sales channel.

PcVue - HmI/SCAdA SoFTWARE BUSINESSARC Informatique's HMI/SCADA software named PcVue has had several

transformations since the DOS-based version was first introduced in late

1985. OS/2 and Windows 3.1 based versions of PcVue2 were introduced in

1992 and 1993. Late 1994 saw the introduction of PcVue32 for both

Windows NT and 95.

The lastest versions are designed for Windows 7 and server 2008. In

addition to its structured database, the HMI/SCADA functionality in PcVue

includes historical and real-time trending with options to visualize and

analyze multiple streams of data.

A library of pre-animated 2D and 3D graphical objects is provided to speed

HMI development. These objects can be modified dynamically and the

changes propagated to each station of the network. This realizes a key

benefit of object technologies.

PcVue supports OPC as well as Web Services for data exchange with third

party packages. ARC Informatique employs a central database that is shared

among the nodes in a client/server model. The configuration of each station

can be stored on the server and downloaded at start-up. It can also be used

in conjunction with WebVue for remote display and control via the Internet or

an intranet connection. Features for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 plus redundancy

mechanisms improve the overall security and availability of the system.

A native Historical Data Server, called HDS, is implemented using the

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 corporate database.

To reinforce the level of security, Windows Domain Authentication and Active

Directory have been integrated within the Supervisor’s User Rights.

ARC Informatique has also introduced the concept of PcVue

SmartGenerator. The aim is to facilitate and accelerate the development of a

PcVue project. Its wizards guide you through the process of extracting data

from third party applications including FactoryLink® mimics & variables,

AutoCAD® drawing files and the LON database.

ARC Informatique has introduced PlantVue as a low cost, stand-alone HMI

solution. Designed for panel PCs, it is an OPC client with many pre-

configured features. It also has a configuration option in which all the pre-

configured settings become available for modification as required. PlantVue

includes support of Microsoft® SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and

Microsoft VBA. An optional driver pack can be provided, with Serial and

Ethernet drivers for most major manufacturers.

FrontVue - GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACEFrontVue is GUI software with graphics and animation capability developed

for Windows using Microsoft technology. It has an object-oriented design and

can use both a hierarchical or flat data structure. Customized functionality is

provided using third party ActiveX Controls, Java Beans and an integrated

Microsoft VBA engine (Visual Basic for Applications) with full access to all the

graphic objects.

FrontVue can be used to visualize a process either in standalone mode with

an OPC server, or as the client of a third party application such as a

HMI/SCADA package (including PcVue and PlantVue) and MES.

IntraVue - INdUSTRIAL ETHERNET dIAGNoSISIntraVue™ is designed to assist individuals who are not network experts but

who require a method for quickly identifying typical problems that can cause

loss of production data. IntraVue’s advanced diagnostics provide a rapid

means of identifying any malfunctioning devices or faulty connections. The

graphical views and simple mouse-click actions of IntraVue enable the

control engineer to troubleshoot difficult Industrial Ethernet problems.

dream Report - REPoRTING TooLDream Report™ is an integrated reporting suite for industrial automation. It

is designed to be the simplest solution for extracting data from PcVue and

almost any other data source (SCADA, PLC, OPC, CSV, BACnet etc.) and

for providing reports automatically to anyone, anywhere through its built-in
