nCompass offers one-button configuration of one of 28 languages with American English the default language. All other language selections were translated from English to the specific language through internet translation sites. FDC does not guarantee the accuracy or validity of alternative language selections and shall not be liable for any damages or losses, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or any other damages for misinterpretation of other languages. FDC offers a free PC based application which allows the end user or OEM to modify the translation files. The updated translation files can then be copied to the nCompass control system in order to provide a more accurate or desired translation. Updated translation files may be submitted to FDC and with appropriate documentation and approval may be included in the next nCompass software revision. Contact FDC Technical Support for additional information and access to the nCompass Translator tool.

Note that EnVision PC based SCADA software can communicate directly with nCompass LC and CM on a serial modbus RS485 link. EnVision, as a SCADA software, creates its own data log, alarm, audit trail files for up to 128 devices. EnVision does not support opening data log or other files created by nCompass LC or CM systems. . nCompass Page Links
