About Acquire™

Acquire™ sets new standards for the rapid deployment of data acquisition and control systems. Acquire™ enables system integrators to create complex interactive systems quickly and easily and without the need for custom software.

Easy To Setup

Acquire™ makes system configuration easy. During setup the system integrator can select from a wide range of flow computers, PLCs and smart instrumentation. Acquire™ automatically communicates with these devices using TCP/IP or serial communications to create high quality P&IDs, screens, charts and reports that are available immediately through a web browser.

The system can be customised further using Acquire's editor - an intuitive drag and drop graphical editor that mirrors exactly the appearance of the online version.

Instruments can be added to the P&ID simply by dragging and dropping them into position and associated fields are displayed in the sidebar. These fields can be reordered and additional parameters can be added directly from the flow computer. Each parameter can be configured with appropriate measurment units, data resolution and security levels and can be charteed at the click of a button. Menus, data screens, audit trails, alarms and reports can all be customised with the same level of ease.

Online Access

Acquire™ can be accessed using a standard web browser via private Intranet networks or through a secure Internet connection.

The home page is the station P&ID. Selecting an icon shows detail for that instrument in the sidebar. With sufficient access privileges editable parameters, alarm thresholds, set-points, etc. can be adjusted in the flowcomputer in real time from the sidebar. The ten most recent alarm events are enunciated in the alarm dock audibly and visually.

The navigation bar enables movement between sections of the system. Sections can include expandable menus, providing access to further information. Detail of measured and calculated variables from the instrumentation is available in tabular and, where applicable, chart formats.
