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.
