With the growth of computer hardware and software, the operator in the control room has got the opportunity to see more realistic representation of the process, using 3-D elements in the HMI.
In current projects during development of visualization systems (SCADA), automation engineers of INFOCOM LTD apply the experience of colleagues in objects 3-D-design and use three-dimensional shapes during development of visualization screens.
The latest projects using 3-D visualization on the operator’s screen were made in the development environment Siemens TIA Portal WinCC Professional.
To date, the database of INFOCOM LTD has more than 1000 units of 3-D elements that can be used in project for various industries.
The up-to-date dispatcher screen for 55 "monitor now looks like this:
Advantages of 3-D visualization systems:
- Improving the realism of the image compared to SCADA-screens made in 2D projection;
- Ability to show the location of controls without creating additional connecting lines;
- Keeping a balance between 2-D and 3-D visualization allows you to present information in a clearer way.
Example 1: Additional screen on a 55 "monitor:
Example 2: The main screen on the monitor 27":
The level of detail can differ:
The level of detail can differ:
Take, for example, older visualization screens, such as the 2014 project:
Then modern screens win with the number of details, realism and clarity. Moreover, in practice, when performing on-site upgrades, our software engineers leave the opportunity to switch from the new 3-D screens to the old look, but in practice, the old screens are no longer used by operators.
