The update also adds automatic engineering unit conversion, global templates, JDBC connectivity, and the new EPM Exporter and EPM Migrator
Elipse Software has just released version 7.5 of Elipse Plant Manager (EPM). The main highlight is the Asset Navigator, a new feature that enhances the EPM Portal’s object browser and makes it available in any dashboard visualization environment. With it, users can search for EPM objects and use them in dashboards in Design or Runtime mode, within a Navigation or on the home screen. This way, users always have the assets they need just a few clicks away, without leaving the environment they’re working in.
The EPM Portal also gained new features that streamline dashboard development and maintenance. Users can now select multiple widgets and edit them at once. Templates, which make it easier to scale visualizations, used to be tied to individual dashboards. Now they are global and can be reused across multiple dashboards. The new version also lets users save a copy of any dashboard in a private folder to edit it or to create their own version without changing the original.
On the connectivity front, the EPM Portal now supports JDBC connections to a variety of data sources, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, and Oracle. Another new feature is automatic engineering unit conversion, in accordance with the UNECE standard (OPC UA Part 8). Measurements are now provided to users directly in the unit they choose, with no need for manual calculations. Users simply select the desired unit, such as Celsius, and the software performs the conversion automatically.
Version 7.5 also features two new components. The EPM Exporter is a module that lets users configure data export to multiple formats and destinations, making it possible, for instance, to explore the data in BI platforms or send it directly to cloud services. The EPM Migrator, in turn, is a tool that migrates EPM databases from SQL Server to PostgreSQL, or vice versa. This is especially useful for customers who want, for example, a database with no size limit without having to purchase a SQL Server license.
