Implementation of a PC-Based operator interface for a paper machine drive

摘要

Personal computers (PCs) are increasingly being used in industrial applications. Grouphical user interface (GUI) software and Windown-based operating systems are proving to be cost-effective, rugged and reliable. These advances have allowed over the past four years, the successful installation of several human-machine interface (HMI) systems for Paper Machine Winders. The HMI monitors the operation of a Winder and provides complete machine control.
