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.
