What is Data Logging? Data logging refers to the automatic process of collecting, storing, and managing data over time. In the context of HMI systems, data logging captures real-time values from sensors, machines, or control systems and records them for future analysis. Whether it’s tracking temperature fluctuations in a cold storage warehouse or monitoring machine […]
What is a Touchscreen unresponsive? An unresponsive touchscreen occurs when the display does not receive a signal from the finger or stylus, preventing the user from navigating menus, receiving alerts, or entering data. This issue can arise from various hardware or software errors and must be resolved promptly to prevent operational bottlenecks. In this article, […]
What is the System diagnostics? In today’s industrial automation landscape, system diagnostics refers to the process of monitoring, analyzing, and troubleshooting the health and performance of equipment, software, and network infrastructure. These diagnostics help ensure that automated systems operate reliably, efficiently, and safely by identifying issues before they lead to downtime or failure. Whether you […]
In the rapidly evolving industrial automation landscape, the ability to facilitate seamless communication between devices is essential. Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems rely heavily on robust communication protocols to provide real-time monitoring, control, and diagnostics. Among the most widely used industrial protocols, today are Modbus, Ethernet, and Profibus. Each of these protocols has its strengths, […]
In the automation and manufacturing industry, cycle time is one of the most important indicators for measuring efficiency and productivity. It shows the time required to complete a product or task and helps businesses optimize processes, reduce costs and increase productivity. With the support of modern technology such as IoT and RPA, optimizing Cycle Time […]
Magnetic core memory, commonly known as core memory, is an early form of random access memory (RAM) that was widely used in computers from the 1950s to the 1970s. It consists of small magnetic rings, called cores, that store information by their magnetization direction. Each core represents a single bit of data and can be […]
Limit switches are a type of mechanical sensor used to detect the presence or position of an object in an automation system. They work by making direct contact with the target object, helping to control and monitor mechanical movements in industrial machinery and equipment. With high precision, good durability, and reasonable cost, limit switches have […]
