SyncPower has been revamped through a platform update Print E-mail

SyncPower®, designed for the development of energy management systems and power plant monitoring systems, utilises the SyncWare® platform. Now that it has been updated, SyncPower® has had a major upgrading.

Reporting, instructions and documentation, ease of use and developing and maintaining the system have all been overhauled.

 

The appearance of reports, and the appearance and operating logic of all functions, have been made uniform.

The versatile use and editing features of reports are available directly from the quick link on the report’s title bar. For example, outputting a report into Excel and editing individual reports using the Reporting Wizard can be done in a browser window, and the final report can be checked during the same session.

Naming and sorting the report folders afterwards can be done in SW8, using parametrisation. It is now also possible to create folders with names containing multiple words and special characters.

SyncPower® instructions and documents are collected from the system, meaning that they are up-to-date at all times

One of the new features is a document editor, allowing you to include calculation results in a clear-text document. You can update the document with calculations from the desired time period, and add additional comments and notes to it. If you wish, you can also generate the desired additional instructions in a separate folder. These are displayed in the part of the application in which the instructions were written.

Smoother use with improved search management, confirmations and version management

SyncPower’s® other new features make your tasks easier, for example by preventing overlong searches and requesting confirmation when searching large amounts of data. Additionally, confirmation is always requested before saving over or deleting data. There is also a separate version history list of all calculations, allowing you to restore an old calculation from the version history list.

Application development made more efficient with new tools

The new version includes tools (~wizards) for the creation and maintenance of calculations, reports and charts:

  • a Calculation Wizard, for the creation of customer-specific calculations using parametrisation
  • a Reporting Wizard, for the parametrisation and management of graphical, numerical and diagram views
  • a Diagram Wizard, for the creation and maintenance of dynamic visualisation (e.g. process flow diagrams)
For system administrators, new tools are featured for monitoring the use of system resources, managing connections and measurement histories, and communicating with users. System documentation has been completely overhauled, enabling system documentation while parametrising. You no longer need to create separate calculation and reporting definitions.
