What is it and What does it do?

Wonderware InTouch is a software package to

allow you to interact with and visualize data

from you instruments and plant devices. The
data is presented in a format relevant to your
specific site and requirements.
Wonderware InTouch runs under Microsoft
Operating Systems and acquires data through
protocol converters know as DAServers (aka
IO Servers).
Wonderware software is used in over a third of
the worlds manufacturing facilities thats
100,000 plants and have sold over 0.5 million
licenses.

Connectivity
InTouch native communications are Suitelink or

DDE.
OPC communications supported using
FSGateway (free to use server).
In order to communicate to PLCs then
Wonderware produce IO Server programs.
If PLC not supported then partner with
Kepware for a special Kepware for
Wonderware driver suite.
If still not available write your own with
DAServer Toolkit.

InTouch Licensing
Every session/instance of InTouch must be
licensed whether that instance is running on a
remote computer or on the Terminal Server as a
session or as a Service on the Console.
InTouch is licensed by tag count
Runtime tag count sizes 64, 500, 1k, 3k, 60k.

OEM runtime tag counts of 256, 2K, 5K, 10K also

available (requires OEM agreement)
With or without IO allows you to use any number
of Wonderware IO Servers on that node
Development license in similar sizes as well as
consignment licenses for SIs/OEMs.

Architectures Peer to Peer

InTouch Licensing FAQs

InTouch V10.1 license will run InTouch V10.0 and V10.1
InTouch V9.5 license will run V5.6 up to V9.5

Development license includes V10.1 and V9.5 licenses.

Development license also includes a runtime license (but
not for consignment).

Development license includes an IO server license (to be

used on the same node).
Upgrades are included with Customer First.

Any version of license can be upgraded to latest version.

Licenses can be functionally upgraded (tag size, IO
servers), but functional downgrade not possible (e.g. with I/O
to without I/O)

InTouch Upgrade Steps

Case Studies

Many...
Almost every Wonderware sale

includes InTouch
It is the universal visualisation that is
the hallmark of the portfolio
Picking one would be to dismiss the
characteristics and benefit of the
others...

The experience of case studies

The higher the graphical quality, the more

intuitive a process is to operate

Involve process operators in the design of the
interface
Consider aspects of colour-blindness
Bring disparate parts of the process together
on one screen avoiding wasteful walking
from one part of the plant to another
Structure standard objects so that they
become a company library

The experience of case studies (2)

Remember to visualise non-operation aspects,

such as maintenance status

Add an energy consumption data area on each
screen
Consider the integration of CCTV video
Consider Terminal Services architecture
Consider the true SCADA supervisory level to
fully integrate standalone automated machines
Make full use of the data within a SCADA
system for business information
