The FX Server software expands the capabilities of one or more FX Supervisory Controllers, in addition to managing TCP/IP field devices directly. The FX Server
collects, stores, and provides access to large amounts of information (such as alarms, events, and histories) sourced from one or more FX Supervisory Controllers. The FX Server also coordinates the integration of multiple FX Supervisory Controllers networked together on a single project by providing network-wide automation and coordination, such as master scheduling, system-wide database management, and integration with enterprise software applications and from TCP/IP field devices. The FX Server includes a graphical user interface and configuration tool you can access with a web browser. Multiple users can concurrently connect to the FX Server. User security and presentation preferences are managed through user profiles, login IDs, and passwords. Remote access is easily achieved from an intranet, WAN, LAN, and Internet connection.
