Modern plant control rooms. operating and visualization concepts (HMI+) - Booth position 44

PROCESS PLANT CONTROL

Source: EEMUA 201 „PROCESS PLANT CONTROL DESK UTILISING HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERFACES - A Guide to Design, Operational and Human-Computer Interface Issues“

HMIplus supports process control of industrial production processes by user-oriented process visualization features.

The background to this concept is the constantly increasingly complexity of the processes to be monitored and the working environment, for instance a heterogeneous system environment in control rooms from the perspective of the operators. The use of modern plant control centers and operator control concepts can support and relieve operators in the execution of their tasks by means of a powerful human machine interface.

At ACHEMA Siemens presents a HMIplus concept, based on the SIMATIC PCS 7 automation system showing that it should be considered right from the start when planning process plants and designing plant control rooms. HMI graphics for better attention improves the overall efficiency.
