Introduction
iFix is a SCADA (System Control and Data Acquisition) software. It was developed by Intellution and is now part of the GE Fanuc Proficy series of industrial software.
This Wiki Article is a simplified deployment guide for ThinManager users. Although it was prepared with the help of iFix users and specialists, it is a mere aid and not the definitive source for information. Please refer to official iFix documentation for questions and details.
A special thanks goes to Scott Crider of Advantage Industrial Automation.

Network Configuration
IFix is designed to pull data out of PLCs and factory-level sensors, present the data in a form usable by humans, and save the data for further usage. iFix is designed to function with a “two-box” system.
- The first box is a SCADA (Systems Control And Data Acquisition) computer. This is a PC that gathers the I/O and data from the PLCs and machinery and runs the iFix database. This computer provides the data and values to the system.
- The second box is a View Node. This is a computer that pulls the data from the SCADA node and displays it on screens for the operator.
In a terminal services environment the terminal server acts as the View node. Each client that connects to a terminal server will start a session and launch a view node within the session. The sessions on the terminal server run the operator screens populated with data from the SCADA node.
Sample iFix Network with Thin Clients
In a ThinManager system dual terminal servers can be setup to provide redundancy and failover. This allows the operator screens to keep running with current data if a terminal server fails.
