SYSTEM TO DESIGN AND/OR UPDATE PROGRAMS FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVICES ASSIGNED TO THE OPERATOR INTERFACE AND/OR TO MANAGE MACHINES AND/OR PLANTS FOR INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

摘要

System to design and/or update programs for the operator interface of machines and/or plants that comprises at least one first calculation device dedicated to the management of a machine and/or plant, which contains at least one application program to manage the human-machine interface (HMI) of the machine and/or plant, and a second calculation device to execute a software, or development environment, to create a project file, wherein on the first calculation device and on the second calculation device respective communication programs are installed, suitable to transfer the project to the first calculation device, where the application program for the management of the HMI interface displays the project by means of a suitable OPC UA standard information model, by means of which it is possible to make modifications to the project dynamically, without interrupting the execution of the human-machine interface program, and so that every modification to the project, and therefore to the human-machine interface program, is immediately displayed and used by the human-machine interface.
