Setpoint is a custom HMI (Human / Machine Interface) that is well suited for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) of medium to small size process systems.

• There is no need to hire and train programmers because all programming is done by BradleyData.
• Graphics are not limited to a symbol library because all graphics are drawn by BradleyData.

BradleyData has long held the belief that computers should be programmed to work the way you work, using paradigms and analogies that are familiar and comfortable. All too often we are forced to change our entire operation to accommodate a new computer. Setpoint uses graphics which are simplified drawings of the actual facility under control. This makes it easy to learn and easy to operate.

Setpoint uses OPC (Object Linking and Embedding) for Process Control for communication with PLCs, digital controllers, and Building Automation Systems. TCP/IP via Ethernet is used for connectivity. · There are over 90 drivers available for linking the OPC server to various products including: Allen-Bradley, Modbus, BACnet and many others.

• You are not locked in to proprietary products and systems.
• Multiple drivers can be used with one or more OPC servers to create a flexible control system ranging in size from one controller and one PC to controllers and PCs spread across a campus, industrial park, or around the world.

Setpoint uses any industry standard database which supports ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity).

• All alarms are logged with the time, time of acknowledgement, and time of return to normal.
• Historical data is logged for all designated points or tags.
• Standard reports can be viewed and printed for any range of dates with a few simple mouse clicks.
• Reports can be exported using industry standard CSV (Comma Separated Values) format.
• Data storage is limited only by hard drive or server space.
• Custom reports can be created at any time in the future by anyone who is familiar with industry standard SQL (Structured Query Language).
• Data can be shared with any standard office software that supports ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) or CSV (Comma Separated Values) format.

Setpoint uses industry standard client / server technology for maximum multi-user, multi-tasking flexibility.

• One OPC server, the database server, and the Setpoint client can all be put on the same PC for small economical systems.
  
• Multiple OPC servers, the database server, and multiple clients can be installed on many PCs spread across a campus, industrial park, or around the world.

Setpoint communicates using TCP/IP and Ethernet on the Internet, private intranet, or local network.

• Industry standard protocols save money by using generic hardware and software.
  
• All components of Setpoint can be configured on a single PC or spread around the globe as needed.
