Product Highlights

Nucleus Overview

The core of Nucleus is the Developer, the application that allows users to start developing and designing a SCADA project within minutes. The Developer comes loaded with a multitude of intuitive tools, organized in a user-friendly drop-down menu, to allow users full creative control in how they wish to define and configure a project.

The Nucleus product comes loaded with the Communications builder to define and test connections, Display Creator to develop HMI screens, HMI Station to run the SCADA software inside a development environment, and Simulator to test the system.

Pre-Built HMI Layouts

One of Nucleus’ most popular and innovative features is its 18 pre-built graphical screen layout options from which users can choose to build a system. These diverse layout options, available to every Nucleus user, enable them to choose specific size and placement of system buttons, navigation area options, alarms, messages and various custom graphics options.

This unique HMI/SCADA system development feature saves developers vast amounts of time and greatly streamlines the overall development process.

Nucleus Display Creator

This is a robust application that allows users to build screens for HMI/SCADA projects in a development mode with the ability to create custom screens, graphical icons and setup a wide range of properties and functions to build a unique and efficient control system.

The Display Creator not only functions intuitively, but it also has a modern, user-friendly appearance preferred by industry professionals. Nucleus users can employ many of the modular features within the Display Creator when building systems that require a high degree of customization.

Nucleus Simulator

This Simulator allows users to test their screens and expressions in real time without needing the connection of a PLC or industrial controller. Without having to exit the development applications, the Simulator enables users to see how the control system performs under load, saving valuable development time and streamlining the process.

Moreover, multiple simulations can be run concurrently, in forward or reverse, and can be stopped or paused at any time. This tool is entirely unique to the Nucleus platform and a key benefit for integrators for which saving development time is essential.

Netword Redundancy

The Nucleus system architecture features a safe and secure design with Redundant Servers, and even an optional Disaster Recovery Server, to protect your data. The reliability of Nucleus makes it an excellent SCADA platform for clients requiring the highest level of data security and protection.
