Congratulations! You have successfully connected to your Advantech WebAccess/SCADA Project Node. It took no special software to connect.
Figure 2-24 – Advantech WebAccess/SCADA “Root” page – bwRoot.ASP
Your Advantech WebAccess/SCADA probably looks like the above. It is possible a system engineer modified this page to remove buttons or add additional buttons, change the color, add company logos, etc. Figure 2-3 above is an example of a modified Project Node Login Page.
There are three choices on the HOME Page (bwroot.asp).
· Advantech WebAccess/SCADA Configuration
· Advantech WebAccess/SCADA User Management
· Advantech WebAccess/SCADA View
If this is a newly installed system, you must build a project and download it to a SCADA node before you can use VIEW.
Let’s next go to Advantech WebAccess/SCADA Configuration, to build a project.
