Communication between man and machine is the
key for a complete total solution
HMI
(human-machine interface) is where people and
technology meet. The graphic presentation replaces traditional
obscure technical terms and makes machine manipulation very
direct and reactive. .
-
Innovative ETX CPU modules with flexible and upgradeable
options
-
Most flexible storage device selections for different
installation requirements: hard disk or harddisk-less
environment
-
Equipped with touch screen to offer easy-to-use manipulation
and reliable system integration.
-
Selective package with Windows CE .NET platform is ready for
integrated application.

Most Flexible storage device selections of
HMI solutions:
Two alternative ways to fulfill customers'
installation requirements. Each product supports 2.5''
IDE hard disk drive bay and cable. For better storage
reliability, HMI product offers 48MB DOM(Disk on
Module) with embedded OS pre-installed and Compact Flash
for future application installation. Meanwhile, 128MB
SDRAM provides enough memory space for
resource-consuming applications to run. IDE-interfaced
DOM is fanless and comparably more stable and secure
than hard disk, besides, heat and shock resistant to
harsh environment.

No Second Thought in Industrial
Automation and Controls!!
| Advantages of
Windows CE .NET Win CE .NET provides an
integrated end-to-end tool set which helps manufacturing
software applications integrated easily and seamlessly
together, and reduce both operating system and
applications developing time, achieving faster
time-to-market purposes:
- Offer tiny and reliable core system services that
enable the most demanding real-time embedded design
across a breadth of devices
- Windows CE .NET framework provides the portability
of developed applications across all Microsoft windows
systems, such as Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP, etc.
- Low cost by each run-time license
- Modular design for flexibility and extensibility
- Run on many different processors, some with very low
power consumption
- Instant power shutdown

The Adoption of ETX Module
HMI product line, a practical
hardware platform for HMI/SCADA software applications,
which is made very easy to connect to PLC and Internet by
offering LAN and communication ports. Besides it is very
cost-effective to upgrade in the future based on its ETX
architecture. HMI application vendors are able to save
lots of cost by just upgrading the CPU module to get the
performance scalability. |

The current factory control
is fractionalized: process controls are the brains behind the
system, instrumentation is the eyes and ears of the system, and
data networks are the voices that are communicating between
systems or subsystems. Process controllers which are PC-based,
graphic-interfaced, and web-enabled are replacing proprietary
and obsolete PLC controllers. In this infrastructure, the
communication among devices are via proprietary protocols such
as Profibus, DeviceNet, CANopen, and the status information
collected by a local controller are sent to automation software
for configuration, monitoring and plug-and-play with
sophisticated optimization systems. Data acquisitioned from
devices are passed via Ethernet to enterprise systems, i.e., ERP,
and then directed to Supply Chain via Internet. The
windows-based human machine interface (HMI) with touch screen
panel allows operators to control and monitor important
activities on several machines in the same time. Through the OPC
interface provided by hardware manufacturer, software developers
are free from the difficulties of supporting versatile hardware
in the market, and are able to focus on the software design of
control processes. OPC is a new protocol based on Microsoft COM/DCOM
technology to ease the software implementation of industry
automation and control. As it is known, about 75% of automation
systems’ costs are associated with systems integration and
support, therefore the connectivity between shop floor and the
business system will permit synchronization of production lines
with supply chain execution, scheduling and other production
management systems. This free flow of information will permit
the manufacturer to move into the era of Internet-enabled
production.
The migration to PC-based platform will allow factory floor to
operate a common generic HMI workstation through Ethernet or
communication I/O. With the HMI application, graphical objects
are linked to I/O points, control variables, monitor alarm
status, log data to disk, and trend real-time information. Also,
if the control software and HMI application utilize a shared
database, this eliminates annoying cross-referencing, and
improves accuracy. Reliability of the HMI is an absolute
requirement, because the machine operates 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
