In what situations are industrial control configuration software mainly used?

No matter the brand of the software is 3D Force Control, Asia Control or others, or the industry is textile, chemical or other, the essence of the configuration software is: through the computer's serial port (or network port, this is a Special and rare situations, which will be discussed later), interact with devices with smart interfaces to learn various operating parameters and status of the device, or control the operating status of the device. When necessary, perform special processing on the operating status of specific equipment, such as alarming (sending text messages, calling) to inform relevant staff to attract people's attention

Specific examples are:

1. For the precision air conditioner in the server room, we need to know its temperature and humidity values ??at all times;

2. The liquid level in the water storage tank;

3. The motor speed and the current current of the motor power;

4. Control the device status through the touch screen (the essence of the touch screen is to use your fingers instead of the mouse pointer);

5. The current current and power output of the power distribution cabinet;

6. The pH of water quality;

...

All of these rely on unique sensors to collect data and inform the computer. The computer also changes the status of the device by sending specific data to certain control units.

There are also many large-scale factory production workshops that have monitoring centers for the entire production system. There are large screens in the center that can observe the status of every link in the system. In essence, this software is the same as configuration software, except that this software is developed by specialized system integrators and only serves their systems.

To put it bluntly, configuration software has many applications. It can be used wherever there is an intelligent interface device.
