The core ONSPEC Workstation provides real-time data acquisition, human-machine interface, supervisory control, alarming, trending, and historical archiving in a client-server architecture. It is available in seven scalable configurations from the 100-point Micro system through the 16,344-point Ultra system, each including 999 displays per terminal, unlimited tags, 8,192 alarm points, and 2,048 PID loops. Supporting modules include ONBuild for dynamic graphics development, ONConfig for database and tag configuration, ONView for real-time and historical trending with zoom and cursor analysis, OCL command language for scripting batch processes and event-driven logic, and ONCalc for live spreadsheet calculations. LSO network database sharing distributes process data across redundant multi-station architectures. ONSPEC communicates with all major PLCs including Allen-Bradley, GE, Modicon, and Siemens, plus DCS systems from ABB, Foxboro, Honeywell, and Yokogawa. The platform supports Windows 10, Windows Server, and legacy OS/2 environments for both new installations and plant upgrade scenarios.
