FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Arista,
Special Computing and InduSoft Partner Bringing to Market the First
Windows® CE 5.0 Industrial Panel Computer, the HMI Express
Pro
The HMI Express Pro powered with Windows
CE 5.0 and InduSoft Web Studio makes the panel computer ideal for
industrial automation applications.
FREMONT,
CA – December 20, 2004 –
Arista
Corporation, a leading industrial computer solutions provider and
system integrator with Special Computing and InduSoft, have brought to
the industrial automation market the first panel computer powered by
Windows® CE 5.0 and InduSoft’s Web Studio, creating the
HMI Express Pro series of panel computers.
Arista’s HMI-Express Pro with Indusoft CEView is
a complete supervisory control, process monitoring and operator
interface, running on the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 operating system
platform. It is based on InduSoft's full scale Windows-based
supervisory control and monitoring system and has a
rich set of features including an object-oriented database,
math functions, report generation, archiving, alarms, batch recipes,
and interfaces for PLCs, remote I/O and TCP/IP networking. The
HMI-Express Pro with Indusoft CEView running on Windows CE 5.0,
enables complete control and monitoring from anywhere outside the
plant through any connection to the Internet.
HMI-Express
Pro has optional drag and drop, point and click automation development
tools to develop modern Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) applications. Applications
include embedded machine or process controls, servo drives, control
panels, man-machine interfaces, SCADA and wireless SCADA, data
collection, maintenance terminals, PLC interface panels, control
panels, machine parameter adjustment, mobile process supervision and
many others. The HMI EXPRESS Pro is ideally used in embedded systems,
mobile monitoring tools, and for instrumentation and laboratory
automation applications.
The
HMI Express Pro includes both screenless, brick sized mountable node
and industrial panel computers with 6.4, 8.4, 10.4, 12.1 and 15-inch
LCD displays. The HMI
Express Pro family uses a 300 MHz National Semiconductor Geode
processor which provides the ability to run any application.
The panel computers also come standard with two RS-232 and one
RS-232/RS-485 serial ports. The
secure screw-in power supply connector ensures that the unit will not
come unplugged, even if mounted upside down or in an area of high
vibration. The low power
requirements and voltages (5 and 12 DC) simplify hazardous area
compliance.
“This
new technology, combining Windows CE 5.0 and InduSoft’s Web Studio
into a compact panel computer designed, provides our clients with new
cutting edge technology for their industrial automation needs,” said
Stewart Austin, director of sales for Arista Corporation.
“The HMI Express Pro series also comes in a variety of panel
sizes providing our clients additional options when considering our
computers for their applications.”
