What is Stardraw Control? |
|
|
Stardraw Control offers a new approach to solving the problem of controlling heterogeneous systems; for far too long, systems integrators have been locked into closed architectures wherever system control or monitoring has been required.
Stardraw Control, by contrast, offers a software-based, unified control framework that can control any type of remotely-controllable equipment from any manufacturer using any protocol A device-specific language for control or communication, transmitted over a link called a Transport..
Like other Stardraw applications, Stardraw Control is fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use. With a drag-drop interface and intuitive design environment, installers are able to configure systems and control them without having to write a single line of code.
Stardraw Control’s design environment allows you to:
Create custom graphical user interfaces (GUIs)
Program functionality without having to write any code
Control any function for any remotely-controllable device
Monitor any remotely-monitored device or function
Create new products, defining protocols, ports and functions available
Define your own control scripts in C#
Access existing or third party scripts written in virtually any programming language.
Create stand-alone and Client/Server Control Programs that monitor and control all types of system.
The Control Programs you create are portable and can run on any device that supports Microsoft.NET targeted operating systems, e.g. any device running Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP or Vista.
Stardraw Control can communicate with and control any device using any protocol including TCP/IP, UDP, RS232, Infra-Red, DMX, EtherSound, CobraNet and more.
Stardraw Control supports a large and ever growing number of products and protocols. Manufacturers
