Fast and Efficient Configuration

WideQuick Designer HMI/SCADA/PSIM

WideQuick Designer is a powerful development tool that provides the user with an intuitive and flexible environment for configuring of HMI, SCADA or PSIM applications. The project time is reduced by using a number of smart functions, instant preview and the easy configuration of communication with I/O and PLC. Thanks to all this, the system integrator can quickly create a surveillance system with a professional user interface that is easy to use.


Joint Configuration Tool
A great advantage is that WideQuick Designer can be used for developing and configuring of all WideQuick projects regardless if it´s an HMI, SCADA or PSIM application and if the information is presented in Runtime Client, Remote Client or in Web Client via a web browser. The application is built on objects that quickly are configured and adjusted to the current application.

Quick and Clear Project Overview
Thanks to the project tree, it´s easy to navigate among the different files and resources in the project. In the project tree top, the data store, which defines different types of variables that are used in the project, is located. Further down, the workviews are located; they define the graphic interface of the project. The project tree also contains alarms, log units, schedules, script libraries, users, privileges and so on.

Efficient Configuration
There is a large number of smart functions that facilitate the configuration of an HMI and SCADA application. In WideQuick Designer, it is easy to utilize the benefits of multiple displays and thus maximizing development efficiency. All tool windows can be docked and the properties window can also be undocked and positioned at the location of your choice.

Preview Without Compilation
A WideQuick project does not need to be compiled, finished code is immediately created when making an object. This means that you can preview at any time in WideQuick Designer, to see how the project will look and work in the operator panel. If external units are connected, communication will work as well.

Graphic Objects with Smart Dynamic
WideQuick has a well thought-through structure for creating vector based graphics. The basic graphic objects can quickly be modified with color, gradients in several steps, rotation, frame and size to create a modern intuitive user interface.
By connecting variables in the data store to the objects’ properties, dynamics are created in the presentation. Dynamics can be connected to all properties of the objects.


WideQuick Designer

Object Library
WideQuick has extensive capabilities to create and manage composite objects which thereafter easily can be placed by drag & drop technology into the object library. From the object library, you can drag the desired number of instances of the object to one or more workviews. The dynamics of the new instances operate independently. If the symbol is changed in the object library, the changes are propagated to all instances. Objects from the object library can be exported and later be reused in other projects.

Easy to Undo
The undo/redo list provides a clear overview of changes that have occurred since a workview was opened. It is easy to undo one or several operations at once. All changes in the workview can be undone and redone in infinitely steps. Each workview has its own undo/redo list.

Table Based Information
The presentation of tags/variables in the data store is in table format. It facilitates the work in larger projects since it’s easy to filter relevant tags.

Layout and navigation
There are considerable capabilities for creating a layout and navigation system that suits each individual system. Menu objects, tab objects, multiviewer and different kind of interaction objects are being used to ensure that the user easily can navigate in a WideQuick application.

OPC Browser
WideQuick Designer features automatic import of variables from OPC servers. This reduces configuration time for the data store. You can easily export and import the communications configuration to and from external programs.

Search dialog
To facilitate the work, there is a search dialog that can search through workviews, script libraries, the object library and schedules. The search dialog provides a quick view of how many hits that was found in each resource, it can also filter allowing only specific resources to be searched.

Funktion demo included
An extensive function demo that contains many tips for resolving various tasks is included with WideQuick. All objects in the function demo have been created from standard objects in WideQuick Designer. The function demo includes both examples of operator interfaces and of individual functions and objects. A function demo completely targeted building automation, is also included.
