DATAC Technologies Responds to Cyber-Terror Threat; DATAC Technologies Unveils RealFlex 6, the Next Generation SCADA and Process Automation Software.HOUSTON & DUBLIN, Ireland -- DATAC DATAC Digital Autonomous Terminal Access Communication DATAC Data Analog Computer DATAC Digital Automatic Target Analysis & Classification Technologies, a leading supplier of secure SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) A process control application that collects data from sensors and machines on the shop floor or in remote locations and sends them to a central computer for management and control. and Process Automation software, today announces the release of the next generation automation software, DATAC RealFlex 6. RealFlex 6 uniquely combines the true real-time multi-tasking QNX A multiuser, multitasking, real time operating system for PCs from QNX Software Systems, Ltd., Ottawa, Ontario (www.qnx.com), that is noted for its low-memory requirement and rapid response. Similar to Unix, it has been in use since the early 1980s. (R) Neutrino neutrino (n  trē`nō) [Ital.,=little neutral (particle)], elementary particle with no electric charge and a very small mass emitted during the decay of certain other particles. (R)* operating system with a Microsoft Windows based HMI (Human Machine Interface) The user interface in a manufacturing or process control system. It provides a graphics-based visualization of an industrial control and monitoring system. providing the best of both worlds to utility managers. In the current climate of increasing cyber-terror, utilities are seeking new ways to improve the security of their control systems infrastructure. DATAC RealFlex 6 is a secure, robust and powerful system that manages real-time, historical, alarms, events, displays and user databases. According to Cyril Kerr, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of DATAC Technologies, "With a proven track record in SCADA and Process Control Automation software solutions and widespread market acceptance of RealFlex, DATAC Technologies is well positioned to protect our customers and to take a large share of this growing market". DATAC RealFlex 6 Features: --SCADA server on QNX Neutrino operating system, guaranteeing speed, security and stability. --True hot standby configuration ensures systems are monitored 24 hours a day 365 days a year. --Full support of millisecond time stamping. --Improved visualization of monitored system through enhanced graphics, including live video, gauges and 3D vector symbols. --Zoning to allow operators concentrate solely on their areas of responsibility. --Automatic generation and delivery of Microsoft Excel reports via e-mail. "DATAC Technologies have worked closely with QNX in their efforts to build a fast, secure SCADA architecture," said Shelley Bryen, Strategic Alliances Manager at QNX Software Systems. "By embedding the QNX Neutrino operating system into DATAC RealFlex 6, DATAC takes advantage of OS technology field-proven in thousands of mission-critical and life-critical applications". With its POSIX-based, memory-protected microkernel architecture, the QNX Neutrino RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. provides greater provisions for security than conventional real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. architectures. Data between the secure QNX based server and client SCADA applications is dynamically encrypted to ensure greater security. With its high degree of scalability, DATAC RealFlex 6 can be purchased in different configurations depending on the number of Input/Output points that require monitoring and control and on the number of operator seats to be connected. DATAC RealFlex 6 is available through worldwide distributors.
