The fourth release of SCADA TRACE MODE 6 includes support for the BACnet/IP protocol widely used in building automation and hi-tech house systems.
Currently, the BACnet protocol is supported by a number of industry-leading building automation hardware manufacturers, including such brands as YORK, Siemens, Honeywell, etc.
SCADA TRACE MODE 6 system has a proven track record of building automation implementations offering a robust and reliable tool for designing, monitoring, dispatch, energy and home subsystem control functionality. The BACnet support means that TRACE MODE users has now more flexibility in developing new powerful building automation solutions.
A TRACE MODE 6 project featuring connection of YORK TDC9E to SCADA TRACE MODE 6 using the BACnet/IP is available for free download at the SUPPORT section of www.tracemode.com, both in professional and basic software versions.
The free SCADA TRACE MODE 6 drivers library covers 2268 I/O and PLC devices of different manufacturers. |
AdAstrA Research Group has released a new SCADA TRACE MODE runtime module, TRACE MODE Data Center, providing remote access to real-time control system information using web-browser via Internet/Intranet or wireless networks (GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
On January 30, 2007, a new release of the integrated SCADA-system TRACE MODE 6.05 has been made available, both in Professional and Standard editions. 
On 24 April, 2006 AdAstrA Research Group has opened the Beijing Representative office. The office will focus on technical support for Chinese users of TRACE MODE SCADA software and will co-ordinate building of the Chinese national network of system integrators and dealers. Special attention will be given to the close OEM co-operation with Chinese instrumentation companies. 
On 9 August 2005 AdAstrA Research Group released the English version of integrated SOFTLOGIC-SCADA/HMI-MES-EAM-HRM software TRACE MODE 6. New version offers an unrivalled power and flexibility in the integrated process control and manufacturing automation systems development, combined with intuitiveness and ease of use. 
AdAstrA Research Group, Ltd made available an external driver for Micro TRACE MODE 6 industrial controller programming system. This driver is designed to connect WinCon 8000 controller to sensors and flowmeters using a popular HART protocol. 
Like any software each TRACE MODE version has its life cycle and, after passing it, each version becomes “old”. TRACE MODE 5 is an old version. Its development was stopped in 2004.
In the SCADA TRACE MODE 6.04 the support of Mitsubishi controllers using FX Computer Link and DeviceNet protocols was improved. The new driver is now integrated in the TRACE MODE 6.04 development system.
The Micro TRACE MODE 6 is installed onto industrial controllers and provides data acquisition and digital process control with adaptive PI, PID and PDD loops selftuning.
