    Study Notes

    Analog Outputs

    • Analog outputs can be connected via a trunk system.
    • Complement digital outputs, enabling a comprehensive control system.

    Human Machine Interface (HMI)

    • Operators interact with an HMI, viewing data on a screen.
    • Data displayed on the HMI originates from a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
    • Communication between PLC and HMI occurs through specified protocols discussed in other modules.

    Data Historian

    • HMI can send data to a data historian.
    • Functions as a repository for data, allowing for long-term storage and analysis.
    • Enables trending analysis to monitor and review historical process data.
