Machine visualization forms the interface between the control (PLC) and the operating personnel of a system. It enables the simple and clear presentation of complex technical processes and displays different operational states and failures graphically. The operator is supported regarding commissioning, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
Typical applications for machine visualizations are:
Parameterization and control of the machine
Graphic display of the operational state
Provision of manual operating functions
Display of fault reports and warnings
Statistic of fault reports over longer periods
Recording and displaying operational and production data
