This update to ControlCom Connect brings environmental context to your data and more powerful tools for managing your HMI and SCADA workflows. From weather overlays on your graphs to advanced duplication tools, plant managers and integrators now have more control over their industrial monitoring environment.

Environmental Context & Dashboard Precision

Now you can view weather data alongside your industrial metrics on dashboard graphs. This helps you correlate equipment performance with outdoor temperatures or humidity levels in real-time.

Precision Date Selection: Manually enter dates in the date range picker for exact time period analysis rather than relying on presets.
Dashboard Table of Contents: Navigate complex dashboards faster with a new table of contents for quick scrolling to specific sections.
Parameter Tables: Manage dashboard parameters more effectively with a refined table-based interface.
Live Energy Insights: The Energy Management Live Dashboard now features updated components for real-time demand monitoring and energy metrics.

Advanced HMI & Diagram Tools

Managing complex visual monitoring screens is simpler with new organizational tools for your diagrams and HMI configurations.

HMI Visual Transfers: A new visual method allows you to transfer HMI data through a dedicated section, including the ability to send and receive sample data for testing.
One-Click Duplication: Quickly scale your operations by duplicating existing dashboards, diagrams, and individual components.
History & Archiving: View the history of changes made to your diagrams or dashboards and restore previously archived versions when needed.
Batch Editing: Update your diagrams in stages or batches and use new theming tools to customize the look of your facility views.

Expanded Connectivity & Security

We have expanded support for field hardware and refined how you stay informed about system status.

Expanded Device Support: ControlCom Connect now supports new Milesight device types and allows for the discovery of BACnet devices located behind routers.
SMS Tracking: A new section allows you to track the status of SMS messages sent by the platform and test functionality directly.
Threaded Security Alerts: Email notifications for alarms and security events (like MFA codes and new device logins) are now threaded and easier to manage in your inbox.
Data Conversion: The platform now supports converting alarm values from text to boolean (true/false) for more consistent data processing.
