SpiderControl™ : web connectivity, visualization and communication between distributed objects - a must Modern technologies such as browsers and web servers open up new possibilities for visualization and communication in the world of embedded systems and automation. Customers ask for scalable complete concepts. At the same time, they are forced to keep their development costs low. In order to be one step ahead of the competition, the customer needs user-friendly devices that are equipped with innovative technology. iniNet Solutions GmbH, the market leader for scalable embedded web technologies worldwide, is aware of the increasing needs of the market, the price competition and the requirement for user-friendliness. That is why iniNet Solutions GmbH has developed the SpiderControl™ Suite, a modular product line for visualization and communication between distributed objects. SpiderControl™ offers a well proven complete concept meeting every need - from programming down to operating. Product overview SpiderControl™ SpiderControl™ offers an extensive modular concept for innovative visualizing with web technology for the world of embedded systems and automation. The SpiderControl™ Suite contains the suitable web servers, the graphical editor for the development as well as a MicroBrowser.

SpiderControl™ - different web servers to meet different needs The different web servers are adjusted to the concrete needs and performances of the respective user terminal. Thus the distributed web server for 8-Bit with serial connection can be used. The embedded web server is the "workhorse" of the embedded world, whereas the Java web server covers the high end area. SpiderControl™ Editor - visualization without programming The programming of the visualization is done with the help of the SpiderControl™ Editor, the purely graphical tool for Java visualizations. The SpiderControl™ Editor makes a fast and efficient graphical programming of MMI possible. SpiderControl™ MicroBrowser - visualization on low-cost devices With the help of the SpiderControl™ MicroBrowser the generated graphic interfaces are integrated into any output device, down to the smallest LCD (e.g. 128x64 pixel) and small 16-Bit processors. No changes in programming are needed. The SpiderControl™ MicroBrowser is compatible with all SpiderControl™ Java MMIs. A coherent concept Solutions that are developed with the help of SpiderControl™ are executable on all iniNet Solutions GmbH products. Thus, the same technology can be used on any platform to reach coherent solutions. · user interfaces for different devices have to be developed once only · tools as well as the design patterns are always identical · maintenance is easier and the efficiency of the code is improved · technical innovations can easily be integrated The figure below shows the components of a typical "runtime" SpiderControl™ usage:

SpiderControl™ - smoothes your way into the Internet Combines the standards of office informatics and automation No more interfaces to transfer data from office informatics to automation informatics. Each variable can be addressed through an URL-address. Each value is available at any time, from any program - throughout the company. The trouble of developing, adjusting and maintaining interfaces is no longer existent. More flexible solutions Object-oriented as well as machine-oriented applications allow modular, distributed architectures. "The network is the computer" means that single tasks can be distributed to the existing resources and be decentralized from the very beginning. Scalability On the server's as well as on the client's part exactly the same program can be used: from the micro controller up to the mainframe, on any hardware. With our concept you can also use devices with a low resolution display and without a very efficient CPU for visualization, without the need to change anything in the existing solution. SpiderControl™ - efficient development Custom-made solution The SpiderControl™ Suite contains a convenient range of development tools and the suitable system components. With SpiderControl™ you get a complete system, a coherent solution designed by one company. A shorter development time Network-orientation as well as object-orientation, well structured APIs, many demands are already part of Java, graphical development with SpiderControl™. Easy expandability of standard solutions The SpiderControl™ Editor can be expanded by the user. If there is a component or functionality not yet existing the user can simply add it (Java applications only link at runtime). Thus you can develop completely user-specific programming tools with a standard tool. SpiderControl™ - a good investment Low-maintenance systems The interfaces between single modules are always open standards for which there are many programs and tools that are able to work with it (HTML, HTTP, TCP/IP, etc.) Modules can be exchanged without the need to change the whole concept. Platform independence On the client's as well as on the server's part your application can be run on any computer, from the microcontroller up to the mainframe. Any operating system is possible, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, QNX, WindRiver, Solaris, JavaOS, ... A secure future Java's platform and hardware independent approach also means to the branch of automation that today's written programs will have a much better durability than those of the past. You don't need to retwrite the code whenever you want to or have to change to another compiler release. Usage Here are some suggestions for the usage System solutions .
