Interact Has the Best Features of Windows and DOS Interact is also truly unique because it gives you the best features of both Windows and DOS. You develop your applica- tion in Windows with Interact’s powerful integrated develop- ment environment, MachineShop™. For run-time, Interact uses a DOS multi-tasking kernel to keep response times fast and hardware platform costs low. Plus, Interact can run on any PC or on CTC’s PowerStation line of flat-panel workstations. With over 50 device drivers, Interact can work with all major brands of control equipment. Parker Hannifin Corporation 288 Compumotor Division compumotor.com Automation Catalog 8000-4/USA Human-Machine Interface HMI & Machine Control Interact HMI Software Modules Interact is a feature-rich software package that can be tailored to meet the needs of any HMI project. With its modular design (see diagram below), Interact lets you build an application by selecting from a complete family of software modules, ranging from 3-D panel tools, to trending, networking and machine configuration. With Interact, you buy only those modules you need for your current application knowing that Interact can easily expand to meet future needs. Interact also offers you a variety of connectivity options to programmable controllers and intelligent control equipment. Commu- nication Device Drivers for 50+ and Remote I/O PLC connections are part of the standard product, including several Ethernet and Compumotor motion control drivers. Core Interact Modules: Panel ToolKit Module (PTM) Alarm Management Module (AMM) The Panel ToolKit provides a library of over 35 pre-configured The Alarm Management Module is a feature rich alarm 3D panel tools that can be used to construct the touchscreen package that monitors alarm conditions, and allows users to equivalent of traditional control panels. These “ready-to-use” acknowledge and clear alarms from any screen. Operator tools save on development engineering cost and are modeled comments and alarms can be logged along with application after hardwired devices, giving operators the consistent look parameters. Other features include five levels of alarm priority, and feel of devices found on the plant floor. Tools include user levels that can be assigned to all alarm functions, and lighted pushbuttons, numeric displays, panel meters, XY plots, color-coded alarm priorities. AMM is included with Interact and and action tools such as Go To / Load Panel. PTM is included CTC PowerStations. with Interact and CTC PowerStations. Networking Module (NET) Graphics Monitoring Module (GMM) This Interact Module enables the transfer of multiple applica- The Graphics Monitoring Module lets users add graphics tions throughout the manufacturing facility - or in remote displays to the application to make the operator interface as locations using off-the-shelf LAN/WAN operating systems. It is intuitive as possible for operators, thereby decreasing training a “network aware” architecture that simplifies centralization of and support requirements. This module includes 256 color applications and/or program files on a network server. NET is support and free-form graphics, giving designers the flexibility included with Interact and CTC PowerStations. to import a picture of a machine and animate images on the machine to create an application that operators will find easy to use. A CAD-like, object-oriented graphics development environment simplifies the creation of graphical displays. GMM is included with Interact and CTC PowerStations.

Parker Hannifin Corporation 289 Compumotor Division compumotor.com Automation B Catalog 8000-4/USA Human-Machine Interface HMI & Machine Control Other Interact Modules: Recipe Module (RCM) Historical Trending Module (HTM) The Recipe Module (RCM) is designed for batch processing The Historical Trending Module (HTM) gathers selected data applications. This module creates a library of recipes containing from the machine or process, and allows you to view this data process values, allowing operators to upload, download, modify on-line in graphical or spreadsheet format. These data files can and store recipes on-line. Other features include a wide range of also be logged to disk so that they can be analyzed off-line recipe controls and an automatic recipe activity log. using popular PC packages. Data can be logged on time interval, event or operator input. Advanced features such as data and time search allow for enhanced on-line analysis of logged data. Machine Configuration Module (MCM) Machine Configuration Module (MCM) is a valuable Interact Report Module (RPM) option designed to address specific requirements of machine The Report Module (RPM) creates free-form reports for any builders and users. With the power of MCM, you have the Interact application. These real-time data reports can be ability to design, manage and perform efficient manufacturing previewed on the display screen while in online operation; changeovers. This tool also makes it possible to rapidly develop completed reports can be downloaded to a network or disk for modular configurations and machine setup functions, allowing review at a later date. Reports can also be printed in hard copy you to easily customize products and options to meet your or ASCII file format. customer’s unique requirements. User Program Module (UPM) Data Transfer Module (DTM) You can add your own software or application-specific features The Data Transfer Module (DTM) provides a high speed or communication drivers to Interact’s architecture through the gateway to share information between different types of control use of the Software Developers Kit.
