Operation & Visualization - The one-stop solution

NetModule's hardware and software products can be combined to complete Operation & Visualization solution for industrial applications. A monochrome or color terminal with integrated touch screen makes up the interface to the operator (HMI). Sensors and actuators, the interfaces to the controlled process, connect to the terminal via the fieldbus CAN, Ethernet or a serial link. Ethernet based communication also integrates the terminal with the SCADA system. The software product JPC (Java for Process Control) teamed up with the JPC GUI-Editor is the basis for a fast implementation of the Operation & Visualization application. It also provides methods to achieve compliance with the FDA Guideline CFR 21 Part 11. The remaining processing power is sufficient to run Control applications in parallel.
