Recommend a Scada package

[william]

Can you recommend a simple/inexpensive scada/software package that would allow animated graphics to be created of the plant controlled by one of your PLC's with control buttons, and possibly viewed/controlled remotely by clients on the company network.

We have used Lookout from National Instrument and found it to work well with our PLCs. We have customers using the Wonderware and Intellusion. All these are well-known SCADA vendors.  Any SCADA that supports the MODBUS ASCII (prefered) or RTU protocol should work with our PLC.

I think if you know anything at all about VB then you should try it for your need. There are tons of low cost controls that you can get for it that will provide for some nice control interface. Our company is almost complete on a control to provide access to the M series controllers via VB.
