Parker’s New InteractX 3.0 HMI

By Design World Staff | November 6, 2008

Share


Rohnert Park, CA‚— Parker‚’s Electromechanical AutomationDivision announces the release of InteractX‚â„¢ version 3.0 of its award-winning, Windows‚®-based software. This latest version of InteractX is a supervisory HMI solution with full-featured
historical trending tools that aggregate data from multiple machines or work
cells, as well as third-party PLCs and HMI panels. When supervising machines
running Interact Xpress‚â„¢, InteractX cuts development time and cost by importing
screens and data directly from Xpress applications.

Parker-CTC designed InteractX to take full advantage of the ‚“distributed HMI‚”
architecture used by the company‚’s Xpress HMI software, which allows
applications to be developed, edited, published and run in an HMI that acts
as a web server. InteractX leverages existing Xpress screens and data so that
it can be pushed directly to the supervisory level without having to recreate
applications or input tags. This provides a seamless transition to
supervision and monitoring of data trends from multiple sources. Complemented
by a new recipe-management tool and intuitive design features, InteractX
makes it easy to manage and monitor machine-level activities from a central
Parker-CTC PowerStation or third-party workstation.


InteractX offers unlimited tags with no preset limits on pens or logs. The
software also features fully rendered and scalable graphics; intuitive,
object-style development tools; 60+ standard communications drivers; real-
time data acquisition; complete tag editing; recipe management; integrated
VBA and Active X tools; multi-language support and E-Sigs for FDA 21CFR11
compliance. According to Balderson, ‚“InteractX provides customers with the
full functionality needed to create a robust supervisory HMI application and
is scalable to a whole range applications.‚”


InteractX runs on Windows/2000/XP operating systems and is installed/licensed
on Parker-CTC HPX and EPX PowerStations. These workstations run InteractX and
other fully-functioning Windows applications, on their standard CompactFlash
drives, potentially making a hard drive unnecessary. HPX and EPX
PowerStations offer a bundled solution for users who want higher Windows
functionality along with a choice of 10‚”, 12‚”, 15‚” or 17‚” high-resolution
touchscreen displays. Unique among Windows HMI developers, Parker-CTC offers
InteractX bundled into hardware/software solutions, specifically engineered
for industrial applications.
