SL Releases the New SL-GMS Web/Developer Version 4.2a with its HTML5 Code Generator Further Enhanced

September 18, 2024 – Riverside, CA

SL, a leader in advanced, real-time data visualization and monitoring, has announced a new release of SL-GMS Web/Developer version 4.2a, which converts existing control rooms’ heavily interactive and content-rich graphic displays, to unprecedentedly high performance HTML5 code for Web deployed Control Systems and Cloud deployed Monitoring Dashboards.

SL-GMS Web/Developer V1.0a was the new and long-awaited HTML5 product which was added to the SL-GMS line-up in 2020. It is a Web browser-based product for deployment of Advanced Control Systems. The full SL-GMS line-up includes C++, Java and .NET based products, as well.

The subsequent V2.0a and V3.0a releases further enhanced the development of Real-Time Monitoring Dashboards by adding new features such as dynamic graphs and tables, drilldowns to detail displays, multi-layer displays with many properties such as visibility and more. V4.0a was then released in 2022 with additional graphic features such as Overview Window and Blinking often used with the conventional C++, Java and .NET based SL-GMS products. Subsequently V4.1a was released in 2023 with more detailed enhancements such as SL-GMS models in the specified Table columns and supporting Web fonts.

Following this direction, new version 4.2a has further strengthened its HTML5 Code Generator to convert local sub-models more thoroughly and added a new NumericUpDown Control, as well as other bug fixes, to continue enhancing to support the Web enabled Control Systems and developing Monitoring Dashboard to deploy in cloud.

With SL-GMSDraw editor, graphical models with various dynamics such as equipment on/off, alert colors change via thresholds, and connect/disconnect, can be created interactively and independently from an application program. The behavior of these models can be previewed immediately within the editor, which significantly reduces the man-hour costs associated with developing and maintaining sophisticated graphical user interfaces.

Using its Code Generator, SL-GMS Web/Developer converts the graphic models, developed with SL-GMSDraw, to extraordinarily compact and high-performance HTML5 displays. Consequently, the same graphic models used in control rooms can now be deployed in Cloud and Web browsers as swiftly as local deployments, from various devices with heterogeneous Operating Systems, PCs, tablets and smartphones.
