Need Supervisory HMI? Check Parker's InteractX 3.0

from the Automation Group at Cross

HMI graphics & built-in connectivity - Parker leading the way with InteractX 3.0 with Supervisory HMI.  Dramatically reduce application development time and integration cost of your manufacturing operations.  With powerful Trending & Analysis Tools that aggregate data from multiple machines or workcells, InteractX takes the solution to another level.  It also makes it easy to push Interact Xpress machine-level HMI screeens and data directly into its interface without having to recreate applications or input tags.

Features include:

• supervisory-level HMI aggregates data ffrom multiple sources, including 3rd party PLCs and HMI panels
• full featured Historical Trending Software
• time-saving 'distrubuted HMI' integration with Interact Xpress
• no preset limits on pens or logs
• scalable graphics
• unlimited tags
• 60+ standard communication drivers included
• VB for application for easy customization
• 3rd party OPC client/server support
• preconfigured & custom Panel Tool library for quick screen development
• multi-language support
• easy E-Sigs tools to simplify 21CFR11 compliance

Reduce supervisory application development time by up to 80% and significantly lower the cost of integrating Supervisory HMI with Parker's Xpress (TM) HMI and InteractX (TM).  Typically, the largest cost with moving your operation from standalone operation to Supervisory HMI comes from developing special applications for the Supervisory software.  Well, eliminate most of that......import screens and data with InteractX from Xpress applications.  Plus the new Historical Trending Tool provides powerful monitoring and analysis of all machines being supervised.

You will be able to use InteractX right out of the box without special IT skills or assistance.....very user-friendly plus the visual design interface includes styles and templates that enable multiple users to quickly build applications.  And with the Navigation Panel Wizard, you can quickly create menus for navigating through your entire HMI application.  The Intgrated Tag Editor includes time-saving Tag Group and Import Tag features for quickly creating, searching and editing tags.  You can even import AB tags directly.

To learn more about InteractX, download this brochure or better yet, call an engineer at Cross to discuss your application.
