jLogbook: There are two variations of this application which can be used to monitor logs in an industrial setting. It can also be used (with different configurations) as a Knowledge Base, a Control Room Order Book, and as a Shift Report (Handover Logs) Logbook.

jLogbook 4 (jServer version): This is a web server version of jLogbook. I.e. You install only one copy of the jLogbook on site and all your users can access it across the internal Intranet. (This is the preferred version for small and medium sized systems (Up to 20 simultaneous users.) It is like the Apache version but it is much simpler to install and run.

jLogbook 4 (Apache Version): This is also a web server version of jLogbook which uses the Apache Web Server. I.e. You install only one copy of the jLogbook on site and all your users can access it across the internal Intranet. (This is the preferred version for large systems. (Say 20 users upwards).)

jHistorian: An application that efficiently stores (logs) industrial process information (trends and alarms) into Access, SQL Server, MySQL or Oracle databases.

jBrowser: An application that can be used to view process data in graphical (trend), numeric and alarm formats that has been stored by jHistorian.

Other Utilities: Other utilities such as the jMachine application used to determine the ID of your machine for licensing purposes.

jWorkbook: This is an application that enables you to write SQL queries directly into a spreadsheet and collect the result of those queries in the sheet itself.

jeTX: A plant reporting package provided by our Systems Integrator ETX which links in to the jHistorian application.

Please Note: Release 4.3.0 onwards of jLogbook requires Python 2.3 and a new version of mod_python. For most customers, therefore, you will need to download the full install and start from scratch. If you are upgrading from jLogbook 4.3.0 or later you can just download the update. Please contact us if you need any help upgrading.

This is a web server-based program, and requires a degree of technical knowledge to set up. Please contact us if you need help. We can provide a simple prototyping service (its free!) to help you get started. To learn more about this service, have a look at this white paper.

An application that can be used to view process data in graphical (trend), numeric and alarm formats that has been stored by jHistorian.

jBrowser comes in two versions. Version 4 is the new Zero Client jBrowser which runs in Internet Explorer or Firefox (and probably many other browsers too!) and Version 3 is the client server version. We recommend you use the new Version 4 system unless you want to maintain compatibility with an existing version 3 legacy system.

To run the application, first start up a jHistorian application and point to the jBrowserDemo.mdb file in the c:\program files\jBrowser directory. This will give you some data to look at.

Then, from the Start menu, click Programs -> jBrowser -> jBrowser. This will start the jBrowser server and tell you the URL to use to connect to the server via an IE or Firefox browser.

Please see the documentation for jBrowser Version 4.
