Movicon.NExT 4.4 includes performance and user-centric advancements for communications, scripting, development efficiency, data management and security. Movicon.NExT 4.4 is a human-machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platform that is designed to empower users to create interoperable automation architectures for discrete and process manufacturing applications in the commercial, industrial and municipal/utility industries. Updated industrial communication protocol drivers for OPC UA, EtherNet/IP and others provide support for multi-station and advanced arrays. A DNP3 driver enables Movicon.NExT HMI/SCADA to integrate with power industry and electrical utility networks. Optimized I/O operations aggregate read/write tags for greater throughput, and open connectivity helps users to connect with digital assets. Native support within Movicon.NExT for Python runtime scripting enables custom, cross-platform logic. Updated user interfaces, graphical properties for controls and streamlined license management, both local and network-based, are designed to enhance and simplify the overall user experience. Support for TimescaleDB in the historian is designed to offer improved storage efficiency and higher performance, especially with large data volumes. Other enhancements are designed to increase data precision and SQL database compatibility, while recipe and alarm management are performed through a centralized connection. A full migration to .NET 8 for core Movicon.NExT applications, and unified and encrypted password management applied across the entire platform, are two examples of built-in security to help users defend digital systems and achieve regulatory compliance. CFR21 compliance has been enhanced with the addition of user group information logged alongside usernames.
