  • Method and human-machine-interface (HMI) system for controlling and monitoring a technical installation
    Patent number: 7444188
    Abstract: A method and associated system for controlling and monitoring a technical installation (M1, M2), which is assigned at least one regional control area (OA1, OA2), uses a universal, mobile control and monitoring module (MU) and includes three steps. In a first step, the current position of the mobile control and monitoring module (MU) is determined by means of positioning signals. In a second step, the mobile control and monitoring module (MU) is assigned to a technical installation (M1, M2), if the current position of the mobile control and monitoring module lies within the regional control area (OA1, OA2) of that technical installation (M1, M2). In a third step, HMI data of the technical installation (M1, M2) is loaded into the assigned mobile control and monitoring module (MU). The assignment of the universal, mobile control and monitoring module (MU) to the technical installation (M1, M2) is not fixed or permanent, but only temporary.
