PVSS GIS Viewer enables the visualization of PVSS objects in distributed systems on a map. This new feature provides numerous advantages, particularly in geographical distributed systems, like in Water, Traffic, Oil & Gas or Energy.

Ideal visualization and control of Large Scale Systems

The water, transport, oil & gas or energy sectors very often need to control and monitor widely geographically distributed systems. The PVSS GIS Viewer allows widely distributed plants to be easily visualized geographically on a map. Individual geographic areas can be precisely monitored through automatic or manual zoom right down to the device level. Should system components be in warning or alarm status this is signified by colors, forms, symbols, or characters on the respective map, allowing fast and precise navigation to the interruption. The PVSS solution gain more informative value through combination of cartographic information with actual status signals of the plant. A much more efficient project design is also achieved through dynamic map material rather than static map frames.

With the used data and maps the PVSS objects become reality in the layers – any numbers of layer definable. Data and maps are available at many different vendors (e.g.: ESRI - Environmental Systems Research Institute). PVSS GIS Viewer provides Automatic zoom to upcoming alarms and warnings or easy navigation to any user interface, alarm and event screen. It is directly linked to related alarms and therefore PVSS GIS Viewer is perfectly integrated into the SCADA application.

PVSS GIS Viewer has become established in the first pilot project in the Netherlands. This project concerns a Water level regulation in a region, with more than 40.000 hectare and 220 geographical distributed field measurement stations. The water level of each station is monitored and controlled by PVSS GIS Viewer. Thus the operator has an overall overview and control over the complete system.
