Historical Logging
TAC Vista presents the entire building in a
Windows environment. TAC Vista is constructed
around an open standard, with completely open
architecture. This enables it to work with other
software running under Windows, and to gather
information from all the components influencing
daily operation and/or costs of the plant.
It communicates in real time with the TAC Xenta
