HVAC Control in the New MillenniumThese computers use a 32-bit, 190-MHz RISC processor, 16 MB of flashmemory, and 32 MB of RAM. The 12.1-inch color LCD is sunlight-readablewhich makes the unit eight times brighter than other units. Theseunits can be used in all-weather, outdoor, and plant-floor environments.The operator-interface touchscreen is large enough for interactivegraphical use.Industrial SoftwareThe Allen-Bradley Panel-Builder32 has a user-friendly,configurable environment with floating/docked windows, help tools,and toolbar and workbook-mode aids that simplify system design andreduce start-up times. The software uses warning filters that allow operatorsto selectively shut off validation warnings. If an error is introducedduring testing, a problem navigator indemnifies the problem onthe validation screen. The software is compatible with RSNetworx,RSLinx, and RSLogix.Windows-based Automation SoftwareMicrosoft Windows NT Embedded software is designed for scalable,embedded solutions for measurement and industrial automationapplications. Windows NT Embedded design and development toolscan reduce the development time of automation systems. The softwareallows using flash or solid-state memory and supports systems that donot need a keyboard, mouse, or monitor.Indusoft’s SCADA/HMI software includes Indusoft Studio forWindows NT and CE. Application types include:• control room/supervisory,• operator Workstation for direct monitoring and control, and• local interface for embedded operator interfaces.An object-oriented database is used with math functions, reportgeneration, archiving, alarms, interfaces for PLCs, remote I/O, andTCP/IP networking. The software can be used in embedded controls,control panels, maintenance terminals and mobile supervision.©2001 by The Fairmont Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
