Magellan Explorer

Software / General

This product has been superseded.

Replacement Product: Innotech Magellan

Magellan is an event-driven, object oriented real-time SCADA package. It provides a simple, intuitive mechanism to effortlessly design either trivial or sophisticated supervisory and control programs using a drag-and-drop approach.

Magellan eliminates the need to sift through hundreds of meaningless device addresses or protocol descriptions by displaying a graphical representation of all points available in a network of controllers.

Using a drag-and-drop approach, data values can be displayed in a variety of ways leaving the designer more time to construct a useful and practical interface for the end-user.

Magellan is available as three separate products:

  • Magellan Builder - Combines the design package and the runtime package in one program, allowing the designer to immediately trial his design in real-time.
  • Magellan Explorer - A standalone runtime-only program for the end-user.
    • Standard: Unlimited number of points and devices
    • Lite: For projects up to 250 points
  • Magellan Bundle - Combination of both the Magellan Builder and Magellan Explorer packages.
