Operator Interface

Next

The operator controls are an important part of the system. They can range from a simple pushbutton control station with no diagnostics, through standard HMI devices giving full control and diagnostics capabilities and ending in a top of the range SCADA system capable of interfacing to plant production systems, giving process data logging and supervisory statistics.

High End PC Based SCADA Control Stations


On large systems, or where a lot of different configurations are required, a PC based HMI system is usually the best solution. The complete system can be shown on the display, with diagnostics, mimics and alarms as required. Where an interface to a plant production control system is required, PC based visualisation is usually the best choice. With this level of interface, detailed information is required to realise its full potential.

Standard HMI Displays


Simpler systems with few I/O points or those that are designed for a small range of products, do not require PC based HMI's so a standard HMI display can be used.  These still allow complete control and diagnostics, without the un-needed functionality of the PC systems.

Our displays will show all the information required to run the machine, and to diagnose problems without opening a panel or connecting a laptop.

Pushbutton Control Stations


Where the operator is continually controlling a section of the system, standard pushbuttons are used to maintain reliability and give a positive feedback.
