The modular, scalable ACRON 8 can be individually configured to match the size and requirements of the project – as a single-user system, as a networked client-server system or also as a multi-server. It is available in German and English (further implemented languages on request).

The following modules are components of ACRON 8:

• Database:
  More than 250 000 data points, time-based or change-dependent recording, arithmetic operations, high performance with resolution in the millisecond range, high data security due to TLC (Three Level Cache)
• Provider:
  Data acquisition from any sources with telecontrol link and very high data security and optional time stamp transfer; data transfer from various measuring instruments
• Reporter:
  Convenient operator interface for printing of reports and logs with input facility for manual laboratory values
• Graph:
  User-friendly presentation and analysis of measured values and statistical values in trends
• Fault and maintenance module:
  Generation of all required fault and message reports as well as comprehensive statistics
• AC Job:
  Administration module for automatic printing of reports including sending by e-mail
• AC Mirror:
  Up to 6-fold database redundancy
• JUNE5 as ACRON Web front end

Interfaces tailored to SIMATIC PCS 7 allow seamless integration with the process control system. Some modules can be integrated as OCX in SIMATIC PCS 7. A web application (Pure Web) and a Microsoft Excel add-in are also available.

Graphs and reports can be displayed on any hardware platform with common browsers using JUNE5 as a pure web front-end without plug-ins. The web application can be operated as a portal, has its own login, is multi-client capable and supports simultaneous access to multiple ACRON applications. Manual value input is also implemented.
