An industrial steam-boiler installation can combine pressure and temperature instrumentation, feedwater equipment, water-level controls, a boiler process controller, burner-management or flame-safeguard equipment, fuel-train components, optional motor drives, plant communications, and a local operator interface. The TFT LCD is important to that interface, but it is not the boiler controller, burner-management system, flame safeguard, low-water protection […]
An industrial generator set can combine an engine, alternator, engine-control electronics, voltage regulation, a genset controller, protection functions, breakers, an automatic transfer switch, remote communications, and a local operator interface. The TFT LCD is important to that interface, but it is not the engine controller, automatic voltage regulator, generator protection relay, breaker controller, transfer switch, […]
An industrial compressed-air system can include a rotary screw compressor, sensors, a machine controller, optional variable-frequency drives, dryers, filters, receiver tanks, condensate equipment, communication hardware, and remote monitoring. A local TFT LCD can make the system easier to operate and service, but it is not the compressor controller, motor drive, air-treatment controller, protection system, or […]
An industrial water chiller can combine refrigerant and water circuits, sensors, actuators, a unit controller, compressors, pumps, optional variable-frequency drives, communication gateways, and a building automation connection. A local TFT display can make the equipment easier to operate and service, but it is not the chiller controller, motor drive, BACnet interface, protection system, or remote […]
An industrial additive manufacturing machine can combine a build chamber, feedstock handling, motion systems, thermal equipment, process sensors, machine-control electronics, application software, an operator interface, and external engineering tools. The TFT LCD can be an important part of the operator experience, but it is not the process sensor, machine controller, quality system, or evidence that […]
A battery energy storage system can combine battery racks, battery management electronics, a power conversion system, site controls, an energy management system, auxiliary equipment, remote supervisory software, and a local operator interface. The TFT LCD is important to that interface, but it is not the battery management system, power converter, dispatch controller, fire-protection system, or […]
Semiconductor manufacturing equipment can combine wafer handling, process modules, sensors, motion systems, equipment control, factory communication, engineering software, and a local operator interface. The TFT LCD is an important part of that interface, but it is not the process controller, factory host, safety system, or proof of equipment performance. For an equipment OEM, display selection […]
A CNC machine operator panel can combine a display, physical keys, a manual pulse generator or handwheel, emergency and machine controls, a CNC controller, drive systems, and machine-specific software. The TFT LCD is an important part of the operator experience, but it is not the CNC, the motion-control system, a safety function, or evidence of […]
Warehouse sortation equipment may combine conveyors, divert mechanisms, sensors, drives, scanners, local controllers, warehouse software, and operator workstations. The display is important to the operator experience, but a TFT LCD is not the sortation controller, warehouse-management system, scanner, or proof that a package has been routed correctly. For an equipment OEM or automation integrator, display […]
A packaging machine may combine mechanical stations, conveyors, sensors, pneumatic or servo-driven actuators, PLC logic, motion control, safety functions, recipe handling, and an operator interface. A TFT LCD can make the operator interface more effective, but it is not the PLC, motion controller, or safety system. For an equipment OEM, the useful question is not […]
