Data
Compact HMI 800 is designed to the Windows
standard of interaction, supplemented with an information-centric
object structure, reflecting the information in the
factory or plant.
Equipment in the plant is available in the system with
all its associated information, be it operational status
information, technical specifications, drawings, alarm
lists, trends, faceplates, tag data sheets, reports,
etc.
PLC’s are normally connected to Compact HMI 800
through its built-in OPC client. Since the HMI system
has a built-in OPC client, finding and connecting the
PLC tags and properties is a simple and fast process.
For larger configurations however, the built-in, Excel-based,
Bulk Data Manager is recommended for efficiency’s
sake.
Compact HMI 800 supports all OPC servers on the market,
meaning that any encapsulated PLC driver with an OPC
interface can be connected. Connection to ABB’s
AC 800M controllers is particularly easy thanks to the
inclusion of the Compact Control Builder.
