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.
