P1/P1H PowerStations
P1: A powerful display-based panel
replacement alternative
CTC's 1/4 VGA PowerStation is a powerful, PC architecture hardware
and HMI solution for your panel replacement applications. The Model
P1 workstation includes Interact software for panel replacement and
alarming, plus graphics capability. This software combination makes
it easy for you to replace pushbuttons, digital meters, and other devices
used in panels, eliminating the time and cost of hardwiring. The Model
P1 PowerStation gives operators the information they need to more effectively
monitor and control your machine or process. In addition, free-form
graphics and animation capability enables you to provide a realistic
representation of your application.
P1H: A "basic" HMI with only Interact Panel ToolKit and Networking
Runtime software
The P1H PowerStation provides another alternative for customers seeking
a low cost solution for simple push button replacement applications.
This new "basic" HMI with only Interact Panel ToolKit Runtime and
Networking Runtime software is able to use 50+ Interact Drivers and
is available in two models - monochrome and color. Customers can use
either MachineShop or the new MachineShop Basic HMI Package (which includes
only PTM) to develop P1H screens. The P1H can also be easily upgraded
to a fully functional P1 by users in the field.
The P1/P1H PowerStations - a solution for any OEM application
You can use CTC's Model P1/P1H PowerStations in a wide variety of applications,
such as packaging, paper, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and petro/chemical.
In addition, Interact applications are portable - so you can use the same
Model P1 Interact application on any workstation or PC platform. Plus,
Interact works with most control equipment; this feature is beneficial
for OEMs whose equipment must support multiple PLCs.
CTC's P1 and P1H PowerStations can do the following
for your OEM machines:
- Replace hardwired panels, save time and reduce installation cost
- Reduce panel size
- Support for 50+ Interact PLC communication drivers
