ABB VistaSTAR with PGC5000 Version 4 Data System Interface

Measurement made easy

VistaSTAR is the next generation of data system interface

software designed to unify the legacy generation

instrumentation that we have in the field with the current

PGC5000 Series of instrumentation for a complete analyzer

asset optimization and plant monitoring tool. VistaSTAR data

system uses many of the existing instrumentation and

applications found in VistaNET. VistaSTAR introduces two

additional applications; the STAR Client and the STAR Server,

and adds several new features to our flagship Process Gas

Chromatograph – PGC5000 Version 4.

The STAR Client is a windows based application that provides

a centralized launch point for the legacy VistaNET applications

and current versions of Remote Client. It also allows the user

to view trends and chromatograms that are historized in the

STAR Server.

The STAR Server is an appliance server that saves data

from PGC5000 (Version 4), PGC2000. RVP, and Multiwave.

The STAR Server has three different licensing levels 1-5.

1-15. 1-250. If the 1-250 level is purchased, a 12 Terabyte

hard drive array is supplied in order to guarantee maximum

system availability.
