SCADA

Smart Review is a SCADA system designed for developing data acquisition and real-time supervisory control systems. It supports real-time data collection, processing, visualization, archiving, and analysis of industrial devices and processes. The platform is widely applicable in industrial automation, energy infrastructure, smart buildings, utility metering systems, and more.

Its intuitive interface allows users to configure both standalone automation systems and geographically distributed control networks.

Smart Review is conceptually a software and hardware solution composed of two independent environments:

• Configuration – the project development environment.
• Runtime – the execution environment.

Each operates independently and can be used separately on different workstations. The development environment includes a set of tools for building full-featured applications, along with drivers for interfacing with common PLC devices.

Smart Review supports both Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols, enabling communication with the majority of devices on the market. The flexible configuration system allows users to tailor automation functionality to specific project requirements. The program is fully configurable—results depend only on the user's creativity.

🌍 Map View for Distributed Systems

For geographically distributed systems, the Map tab enables the placement of markers on a geographic layout. Each marker changes color to indicate the status of the corresponding object. Hovering over a marker displays detailed information (in text or indicator form) according to user-defined settings. Markers can also be linked to mnemonic diagrams for more detailed visualization, providing a convenient way to navigate and monitor automation processes.

🎛️ Mnemonic Diagrams

Smart Review includes a powerful mnemonic diagram editor with numerous elements. Users can:

• Create mnemonics tailored to various monitor resolutions.
• Add background images.
• Place control and monitoring elements.

If a project is created on one computer and run on another with a different screen resolution, the system automatically scales the diagram to fit.

🧮 Mathematical Channel Functionality

Smart Review allows mathematical formula calculations by configuring math channels. Formulas are entered in text format and can include:

• Real-time parameters from connected devices.
• Other math channels.
• User-defined constants.

Math channel outputs can be archived, visualized on mnemonics, and assigned units and alarm thresholds. You can also set up linearization tables or simulate second-order mathematical models.

Additionally, a math channel can be configured to compute a result and write it to a PLC register by selecting the appropriate input (math channel) and output (target register from the device database). In such cases, set the gain factor to 1 and the time constant to 0.

📈 Historical Data & Event Logging

As with any SCADA system, Smart Review allows users to:

• View archive data as trend graphs.
• Browse event logs (divided into system and process events).
• Monitor network status and process parameters through a streamlined user interface.

A free version is available for up to 5 devices, with no limitation on the number of parameters read from each device.
