EcHmi
EcHmi(Easy Control human-machine Interaction) is a general configuration software for Human Machine interface of industrial control software. The author has been engaged in the software development of industrial control industry for more than 10 years. EcHmi starts with HMI, from version 1.0 in 2001 to version 9.5 at present. After 6 years of continuous application and improvement, ECHMI gradually improves into a full-function industrial control configuration software. Compared with similar software at home and abroad, ECHMI has unique characteristics, such as dynamic template and synchronous update of subgraph. EcHmi includes :EcMake development environment, EcView running system, real-time library, history library, WEB system 5 parts.
· Kingview
Kingview software after seven years of development, five years of all kinds of sudden environmental tests, nine thousand cases of engineering (iron and steel, chemical, electric power, national grain storage, post and telecommunications, environmental protection, water treatment, metallurgy and other industries) field operation (including the “China Century Monument” national landmark project), has become the first choice of domestic configuration software customers, And as the first domestic configuration software used in national defense, aerospace and other major leader.
The application of configuration software
The word Configuration comes from the English word Configuration, “configuration software” as a professional term, so far, there is no unified definition. From the connotation of configuration software, configuration software refers to the process that operators configure user application software according to the requirements of application objects and control tasks (including the definition, production and editing of objects, the setting of object state characteristic attribute parameters, etc.) in the field of software. In other words, configuration software is regarded as “application program generator”. From the perspective of application, configuration software is a software platform to complete the communication between system hardware and software, and establish the man-machine interface between the field and monitoring layer. Its application field is not limited to the field of industrial automation. The field of industrial Control is an important position of configuration software application, with the appearance of Distributed control System DCS(Distributed Control System) configuration software has been introduced into industrial control system. There are two kinds of variable factors in the industrial process control system: one is the change of operator needs; The second is the change of the state of the controlled object and the change of the hardware used by the controlled object. The configuration software is a platform software that builds a new monitoring system by changing the software configuration information (including graphics file, hardware configuration file, real-time database, etc.) on the basis of keeping the software platform execution code unchanged and adapting to the requirements of the two factors of the two different systems. Constructing the system in this way not only improves the complete set of speed of the system, but also guarantees the maturity and reliability of the system software. It is convenient to use and flexible, and easy to modify and maintain.
