One rugged industrial hardware platform—configurable for multiple HMI and SCADA software environments.

Sundar Techno Solutions introduces the 21.5″ STS Industrial Panel PC for SCADA visualisation, machine control, production monitoring and industrial operator-station applications.

Whether your project uses Honeywell Experion, Ignition, AVEVA Plant SCADA, Siemens WinCC, Geo SCADA Expert, FactoryTalk View SE, Proficy iFIX, zenon, ICONICS GENESIS64 or VTScada, STS can propose suitable Panel PC hardware based on the software version, project architecture and processing requirements.

WHAT IS SCADA?

SCADA means Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. A SCADA system collects real-time information from PLCs, RTUs, instruments, sensors, drives, controllers and industrial equipment.

The collected information is presented through graphical process screens so authorised operators can:

Monitor machines and industrial processes

View temperature, pressure, level, flow and speed

Start or stop authorised equipment

Adjust permitted process setpoints

View and acknowledge alarms

Analyse real-time and historical trends

Record production and equipment data

Identify abnormal operating conditions

Supervise geographically distributed installations

HMI means Human-Machine Interface. The STS touchscreen Panel PC becomes the physical operator interface on which the customer’s licensed HMI/SCADA application can run.

TEN MAJOR SCADA PLATFORMS AND THEIR BRAND OWNERS

HONEYWELL EXPERION SCADA

Brand owner: Honeywell

Used for demanding process automation, oil and gas, energy, pipelines, utilities and geographically distributed operations.

IGNITION

Developer/brand owner: Inductive Automation

A flexible industrial application platform used for SCADA, HMI, IIoT, MES, reporting, alarming and multi-vendor automation projects.

AVEVA PLANT SCADA

Brand owner: AVEVA, a member of the Schneider Electric group

Used in process industries, mining, water, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure and large plant-visualisation projects. Schneider Electric completed its acquisition of AVEVA, which is now part of the Schneider Electric group.

SIEMENS SIMATIC WINCC

Brand owner: Siemens AG

Commonly used with Siemens PLC-based automation, machines, production lines, manufacturing plants and large industrial process applications.

ECOSTRUXURE GEO SCADA EXPERT

Brand owner: Schneider Electric

Designed primarily for telemetry and remote SCADA applications such as water networks, pipelines, power distribution and geographically dispersed infrastructure.

FACTORYTALK VIEW SITE EDITION

Brand owner: Rockwell Automation

Used for scalable HMI/SCADA applications, particularly in factories and production systems using Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Automation equipment.

PROFICY iFIX

Brand owner: GE Vernova

Used for industrial process visualisation, alarms, monitoring and control in manufacturing, power, water, utilities and process industries.

zenon

Developer/brand owner: COPA-DATA

Used in industrial and energy automation, pharmaceutical production, food and beverage, automotive manufacturing, utilities and infrastructure.

ICONICS GENESIS64

Brand owner: Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions—formerly ICONICS

Used for SCADA, HMI, smart buildings, energy monitoring, industrial automation, dashboards, analytics and digitalisation applications. Mitsubishi Electric acquired ICONICS, which was subsequently renamed Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions.

VTScada

Developer: Trihedral Engineering

Parent group: Delta Electronics

Used extensively for water and wastewater, oil and gas, utilities, remote telemetry, infrastructure and distributed industrial assets. Trihedral is a Delta Group company.

ONE PANEL PC—DIFFERENT SCADA ROLES

Depending on the project architecture and software licence, an STS Panel PC can be configured as:

Machine-level HMI

SCADA operator client

Standalone SCADA runtime station

Production-line monitoring terminal

Remote telemetry operator station

Industrial dashboard terminal

Engineering-cum-runtime workstation

Replacement for an obsolete industrial operator PC

For a large plant, the main SCADA server, historian and database should normally run on appropriately sized server hardware. The Panel PC would usually function as an operator client or HMI terminal.

TYPICAL 21.5″ STS PANEL PC SPECIFICATIONS

21.5″ Full HD, 1920 × 1080 display

Projected capacitive touchscreen

Intel Core i5/Core i7 processor options

16–32 GB RAM

512 GB–1 TB industrial SSD

Dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN

Optional RS-232/422/485 ports

IP65-protected front panel

Fanless industrial construction

Panel-mount and VESA-mount options

Industrial DC power-input options

Designed for continuous industrial operation

The exact processor, RAM, SSD, operating system and communication interfaces must be selected according to:

• SCADA brand and exact version

• Runtime, client, engineering or standalone role

• Number of tags and connected devices

• PLC and communication protocols

• Scan and data-logging rates

• Number and complexity of graphics

• Alarm and historical-data volume

• Database and reporting requirements

• Cybersecurity software

• Redundancy and availability requirements

HOW IS SCADA INTEGRATED WITH AN STS PANEL PC?

The customer, OEM or system integrator installs the licensed SCADA runtime and project on a suitably configured STS Panel PC.

The Panel PC can connect to PLCs, RTUs, drives, sensors and controllers through supported interfaces such as:

Gigabit Ethernet

OPC UA/OPC DA

Modbus TCP

RS-232/422/485

Modbus RTU

USB communication devices

Protocol converters and gateways

Industrial Ethernet networks

Dual LAN ports can help separate the PLC or machine network from the plant-level network, subject to the approved OT-network architecture.

APPLICATION AREAS

Process plants

Machine automation

Packaging and bottling equipment

Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Food and beverage production

Automotive assembly lines

Water and wastewater treatment

Pumping and compressor stations

Oil and gas installations

Power plants and substations

Renewable-energy systems

Chemical and petrochemical plants

Mining and material handling

Textile and printing machinery

Building and energy management

Warehouses and conveyor systems

Test benches and laboratories

IIoT and Industry 4.0 applications

Remote infrastructure monitoring

WHY AN INDUSTRIAL PANEL PC?

Unlike an ordinary office computer, an industrial Panel PC integrates the display, touchscreen and computer into one rugged enclosure.

Its fanless construction removes the cooling fan—a common point of failure in dusty industrial environments. The metal enclosure, industrial SSD, multiple communication interfaces and IP65-protected front make it suitable for control panels, machines and shop-floor installations.
