CONGRATULATIONS! You have installed, created, configured, downloaded and started a Advantech WebAccess/SCADA project.
The steps so far have been to test out your software installation, there are many steps not yet completed in building a real automation project: configuring Com Ports, Devices, Tags and building graphics are the next steps.
To rapidly build a demonstration or practice project with many graphics, you can Import a SCADA Node over the Internet from the Advantech Live Demo (http://www.advantech.com.cn/eAutomation/WebAccess/index.asp). See Import SCADA Node in the following sections of this manual.
See the Quick Start Manual for a quick guide to building tags and graphics.
See the following sections in this Engineering Manual for a complete Guide to using Advantech WebAccess/SCADA.
