<h2 class="headerh2">What is Proview?</h2>
PROVIEW/R is a modern, powerful and general process control system. It contains all functions normally required for successful sequential control, adjustment, data acquisition, communication, supervision, etc.
<br><br>
The configuration of a PROVIEW/R system is done graphically, making the application adaptation simple, reliable, and flexible. PROVIEW/R is a distributed system, which means that the system consists of several computers, connected via a network . Via the network computers exchange data with each other. In this way, for instance, the measuring signals will be known on all the process - and operator stations of a PROVIEW/R system.
<br><br>
A PROVIEW/R system is defined with objects. Each object represents a physical or abstract entity in the system. The objects are structured in hierarchical tree structures, making it possible to describe the system in a structured way. The tree structure also imposes a hierarchical naming of all objects. By carefully choosing names when configuring a system, the full name of an object will identify its function, or role in the system.
<br><br>
The hierarchies are divided into two groups; one called the Plant Configuration , describing the logical view of a system; and one called the Node Configuration , describing the physical view of the system. The configuration of these two parts can be done independently. Eventually the two parts are connected to each other.
<br><br>
To configure a system you use the PROVIEW/R Workbench. The workbench comprises a permanent database and a number of tools to help you configuring the objects needed to define the system. From the workbench you create a runnable system as well as documentation about the system.
<br><br>
The purpose of PROVIEW/R is to help you creating automated systems. Suppose you have a process that you wish to control, PROVIEW/R helps you creating the control system for this process. When the system is created, you will find that you have also created the documentation for the system.

<p>Proview is an Open Source Process Control System. It is modern, powerful and general and contains all functions normally required for successful sequential control, adjustment, data acquisition, communication, supervision, etc. </p>
<p>The configuration of a Proview system is done graphically, making the application adaptation simple, reliable, and flexible. Proview is a distributed system, which means that the system can consist of several computers, connected via a network, preferably ethernet. A typical Proview system consists of one process control system and one or more operator stations. It is easy to configure one operating station to become the HMI-system of several control systems. </p>
<p>Programming is possible both with a graphical PLC-editor and with high level programming languages (such as C, C++, Java or FORTRAN). The concept of Proview is based on a soft-PLC solution which runs on standard computers with Linux as operating system. </p>
<h2 id="mainmenu">Performance</h2>
<p>The great advantage of using standard hardware and soft-PLC is that system size, properties and performance is mainly limited by the hosting operating system and its hardware. In Proview there are no limits in number of I/O, PID loops, PLC programs, counters etc. The minimum cycle time for a PLC loop is less than 1 ms. </p>
<h2 id="mainmenu">Communication</h2>
<p>Proview can communicate with other computers both via ethernet network (ip) and via serial mechanisms. Proview supports several different protocols, such as UDP or TCP sockets via ethernet and Siemens 3964R on serial links. </p>
<h2 id="mainmenu">I/O system</h2>
<p>The most common used I/O system in Proview is Profibus/DP, a robust and well-tested field bus. There are also support for Modbus TCP, an USB I/O from Motion Control and PSS9000. The Modular design of the I/O system and the fact that Proview is based on Linux and high level languages makes it easy to implement other I/O systems with available drivers or develop new ones. </p>
<h2 id="mainmenu">Object Orientation</h2>
<p>Proview is the only control system on the market that can work in a truly object oriented way. Programming can be made in a traditional way with simple function blocks and simple signals. Proview though has support for creating complex objects and function objects that work upon them.</p>
<p>Object oriented concepts such as inheritance, methods and aggregates are supported.</p>
<h2 id="mainmenu">Open Source</h2>
<p>Proview is probably the first Open Source system for process control in the world. Originally developed in Sweden by Mandator and SSAB Oxelösund as a process control system based on standard computers, the system has become a fully-fledged, integrated and low-cost solution that is running on standard PC's with Linux operating system.</p>
<p>Proview is Open Source and the license is GNU/GPL. You can download Proview, use it, modify it and redistribute it as much as you like as long as you follow the license terms. </p>
