Run as a Service
InTouch Edge HMI can run as a Windows service.
This virtually eliminates accidental shutdown of
critical applications by operators.

Because increased uptime is mandatory in

today's facilities, running as a service also allows
ITME to start even when no users are logged on
to the computer. This is perfect for remote
installations or recovery from power failures.

Running ITME runtime as a service increases the

security of the system, blocking unauthorized
users from slipping in and making any changes
before launching the graphic interface.

 Embedded ADO.NET interface for all history tasks (Alarms, Events and Trends) as well as for the native Grid object.
 Database connectivity from any platform supported by ITME or CEView (including Windows CE and PocketPC), through the unique Studio Database Gateway, which
provides connection to the database through a standard TCP/IP link.
 User-friendly interface which does not require scripting or SQL knowlEdge to configure the database interface.
 Support for Secondary Database in the modes “Redundancy” or “Store and Forward,” increasing the reliability of the system and avoiding loss of data.
