The book that reveals the alternative to costly proprietary software for creating a HMI/SCADA application using universally accepted Microsoft Access for database management. This book walks you through the building of an application that loads recipes into a PLC and logs data extracted from the PLC. If you have MS Access then the rest of the tools are here to create the JuicePlant recipe management application.

From the Publisher
Jeff Weigant writes books, articles, and travels the US conducting training seminars on the subject of Creating HMI/SCADA Applications using Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications embedded in Microsoft Office products. Jeff is being held responsible for "letting the cat out of the bag" by broadcasting the alternative to costly proprietary software that runs up the cost of goods produced. When Jeff is not in the classroom, he can be found on the nearest golf course.

Superior,
By Keven Steiner (Moses Lake, WA ------ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating HMI/SCADA Industrial Applications Using Microsoft Access (Spiral-bound)
This is an outstanding book, that lets you make an industrial application (HMI), with the use of Microsoft Access. This is for the person that does not have much money, but wants to be an Industrial Programmer for HMI development.I highly recommend this book!
1.0 out of 5 stars
Doesn't cover communications at all.,

This review is from: Creating HMI/SCADA Industrial Applications Using Microsoft Access (Spiral-bound)
Let's start with stating that I create HMI's/SCADA systems for a living. I have used all the major commercial software including Wonderware and iFIX. This book was interesting. But as far as I'm concerned it left out the most important information. The author wants you to use a demo version of the software that 'talks' with the PLC. For me it's the reading and writing to the PLC that is important. There really needs to be a section on serial or TCP/IP communications to really make it worth something long term. The driver you would have to buy to use this more than a fun activity cost about $1000.

PLC Data at your fingertips,
By Clifford Jones (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating HMI/SCADA Industrial Applications Using Microsoft Access (Spiral-bound)
This book explains how simple it truly is to pull data from an industrial PLC on the factory floor. In additon to teaching you how to display your data using graphs, the book shows you how easy it is to make a recipe management application.The book proves there's an economical alternive to the big buck solutions. It's a good place for any novice to start. I'd easly recommend this book!
