American Industrial Systems Inc (AIS) has released machine-level and site-level human-machine interface (HMI) solutions by packaging together a complete rugged industrial touch screen HMI and data acquisition loggers configured with IEC 61131 programming languages and IEC 60870-5 and IEC 61850 communication protocols.
The terminals can provide real-time production data, monitoring, and control for machinery, equipment and industrial process control applications. AIS’ bundled solutions provide a complete solution from human interface to data logging I/O’s, allowing rapid deployment and fast time to market.
The AIS open standard industrial panel PC will help minimise the complexity for equipment and machinery builders by standardising the development language in an open-based platform, eliminating the need to reinvent the wheel for each new project development. AIS industrial analogue I/O technology enables comprehensive access and communication with remote digital I/O, pulse I/O, relays and temperature sensors as well as connections to remote serial equipment on any IP network. The AIS AII-7000 series analogue I/O devices have the ability to monitor environmental alarms intrusion detection and relay contact data.
The open platform human machine interfaces are available in small sizes 5.7” all the way to 20.1” sizes, supporting built-in touchscreens, gigabit Ethernet and RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 I/O connections. AIS’ HMI terminal solutions utilise the latest in RISC-based processors for low power consumption and reliable operation in addition to the high power fanless Intel Atom Processor line. Industrial solid-state storage solutions are available to high shock and vibration applications which require a long lifetime read/write performance. Staying connected is simple with available WiFi 802.11b/g connectivity available in many systems, eliminating the need to run additional cables. High-resolution, sharp, high-brightness LCD displays with touchscreen interface allow intelligent user interaction for graphical display automation, monitoring and control.
These rugged operator interface terminals are available in waterproof and dustproof enclosures to ensure complete all-weather protection capable of operating under extreme temperatures -20 to 60 degrees C.
