    Making SCADA Programming More Efficient:
    Using the power of VTScada “types”, widgets, and tag lists it is possible to build highly detailed SCADA applications that approach DSC level integration between PLC and SCADA platforms. We will demonstrate some of the standards that MPE has developed and show how they can be leveraged to allow for rapid development of highly functional SCADA systems. This approach to SCADA programming makes the “mundane” aspects of SCADA development very efficient and allows our team to focus additional effort on new and exciting challenges, allowing us to stay focused on building functionality for the SCADA systems of the future.
