Operator station in process mode
Purpose of the operator station
The plant operator can operate and monitor the process on the operator station (OS) in process
mode. So-called process pictures are displayed to the operator for this purpose. The
automation system (AS) controls the process (open-loop and closed-loop control) and the OS
reads the process values from the AS and displays the values graphically in the process
pictures. Warnings and alarms are also displayed in the process pictures as soon as process
values reach or exceed certain specified limits. This allows the operator to identify the location
in the plant at which a problem occurs.
You will create one process picture for your "color_gs" project that will allow you to monitor the
fill level of the raw material tank, the status of the valves etc.
