Automation Systems Overview
2.2.1.
The Human Machine Interface (HMI) is a 10-inch color touch screen. Almost all of the
inputs, outputs and human/machine interactions are managed through the HMI, with the
exception of the Air Compressor and Chiller, which operate independently.
2.2.2.
The HMI has two functions; 1) to provide information and 2) to accept inputs from the
operator. Descriptions of some of the interactions:
2.2.2.1. If a display value or message is colored orange, an operator must take action
before progressing forward.
2.2.2.1.1.
Orange indicates that operator activity is required before the Start
button can be depressed. Messages highlighted orange are indicative of a
scheduled maintenance interval being reached.
2.2.2.2. Red messages indicate that a component of the system has either failed
to reach the minimum operating pressures or temperatures, or that a component of
the system exceeded the programmed operating limits.
2.2.2.3. Red messages are typically reserved for alarms that could potentially shut
down the machine if the condition causing the alarm is not returned to normal.
