This paper discusses Human Machine Interface HMI System, OLE for Process Control (OPC) and their roles, coordination and functionality in Industrial Automation Technology. HMI is software that provides a front end to the industrial automation system. It basically consists of components that represent industrial devices e.g. Motors, Pumps, Valves, and Dampers etc. Here we have used OPC (OLE for process control) as an Interface Layer between industrial devices and HMI. Moreover a Database is also required to store process values for components. Special kinds of communication mechanisms are used in Industrial Automation Technology, for communication between End User Workstations (containing HMI) and PLC. A special variant of Ethernet called Industrial Ethernet used for Data communication whereas Profibus is used for communication between Cell and Field area containing industrial devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
