The functionality kernel of the WINPC32^® is a suite of industrial software modules, all programmable and field proven, and is sufficient, in the aspect of functionality and performance, to perform nearly all the functions needed in industrial controls, HMI and general automation. Analogous to the role of Microsoft Office acting in the office PC, the industrial software suite in the WINPC32^®, together with its robust, common memory management and real time kernel, will make system integrator easily complete his dedicated application in short time by configuring and programming the slected soft modules with his domain knowledge. The Soft-PLC, Soft-PID, Soft-motion controls, industrial network connectivity, SCADA engine and HMI will be introduced separately in the following.

Human Machine Interface(HMI) Module

The HMI module in the WINPC32^® is a Web-enabled, database based HMI. Its friendly editing tools, the GPeX, facilitates user to development on GUI, implementation of the logic and flow control, apply commonly used components (wizard) like trend, historical trend, alarm log and security. Its main features are introduced in below:

• Provides comprehensive graphical components and also allows user to import GIF, flash and Active-X graphic objects and able to composes his custom component as a standard one for future use.
• Provides standard Windows ODBC/SQL database thus be capable of linking to remote, plant level data base to download recipes or upload process record and logs.
• Script Language for user to quickly composes logic and flow control.
• Offers alarm, security and scheduled HTML report to make alerts, log incidents, manage security and compose/print reports.
• The Web-browser feature help operator to monitor, upload and analyze the status of the entire application through we browser.
• The inherent OPC Client structure enable communication between the device/apparatus with OPC server.
