The Design of Human-Machine Interface for Rudder Control System Monitoring Platform Based on WinCC

Abstract

This paper describes a Human-Machine interface for rudder control system based on WinCC. This interface contains the dynamic monitoring screen for rudder control system, and it can communicate with PLC and WinCC. The Human-Machine Interface has an overview schematic of steering system, and there are five sub-screens in the overview schematic including Unit screen, Measure screen, Alarm screen, Trend screen and Table screen. The display patterns of data are virtual dashboard and curves, and it can be recoded, saved and printed. The system achieves the communication between PLC and WinCC by using OPC. Experiments demonstrated that setting up a monitoring platform for industrial production achieve a visual monitoring, data acquisition and display effectively.

Development of Real-Time Simulation Platform for Tank Level Control System Based on Wincc

“…Liquid level control is an important issue in industrial control, and it is widely used in many fields of production. The study of liquid level control not only has a huge impact on the performance and quality of the work, but also relates to personal and property safety of production personnel and production unit [1]. Due to the time-varying and delay characteristics of the liquid level control system, the research process is more complicated.…”
