Implementing HMI/ SCADA for AB Micro830

[THED]

Hi guys,

I am a doing my final year thesis on programming AB Micro830 for basic water rig process. My lecturer would like me to create a HMI / SCADA for it on a computer so that future students can view the flow rate of the water / water level / change the setpoints. I am wondering if anyone can give me a guideline on what software should I use to implement it? Thanks.

anyone?

Hi THED,

The LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory (DSC) Module is an add-on to LabVIEW and is specifically used to create HMI/SCADA data-logging applications.

Hope this helps,

Hi, is this software compatible with Micro830? What I am trying to achieve is to be able to view the water level and change the setpoint via the hmi. Thanks,

Did you look at the above link? There is a link on that page to this about PLCs.

 I will get back to you with my progress. Time to catch up with my other units other than thesis now. Does programming / making HMI require any special programming language skills? I am new to this and have no time to research this can you just give me a brief run through on what is required. I really appreciate it. 😃

You would need to learn LabVIEW if that is what you choose. Obviously, you need to know how to program the plc. You will need to find the time.
