Abstract: An SCADA web HMI system includes a web browser for displaying an HMI screen. An integrated part identifier generation unit generates a new integrated part identifier when attribute identifiers of first part data and second part data are identical. A part data change unit changes part identifiers of the first part data and the second part data to the integrated part identifier. An integrated item name generation unit generates an integrated item name in which a screen identifier of the HMI screen, the integrated part identifier, and the identical attribute identifier are combined. The web browser changes, when a PLC signal received from a programmable logic controller corresponds to the integrated item name, a display state of the first part based on first display information and changes a display state of the second part based on second display information, according to the value of the received PLC signal.

Abstract: A drawing creating device generates HMI configuration data for a system monitoring screen from a network configuration diagram drawn by drag-and-drop operation. An HMI server device executes a system monitoring process by applying HMI configuration data to a predetermined server runtime library, and transmits a display signal according to the communication status of a monitored device. An HMI client device draws the system monitoring screen on a web browser and changes the display statuses of the parts positioned on the system monitoring screen according to the received display signal. According to the present invention, the system monitoring function of an industrial plant can be implemented in a non-programmable graphical manner.

Abstract: A SCADA web HMI system dynamically distributes server connection priority lists from web HMI servers to HMI clients in accordance with order of assignment which takes load balancing into account. As a result, preliminary settings associated with connection priority do not need to be made on the HMI clients. Also, since the server connection priority lists are assigned to the HMI clients in accordance with the order of assignment which takes load balancing into account, the numbers of clients connected to the individual web HMI servers are equalized and the load balancing can be ensured. The SCADA web HMI system can reduce the operating costs necessary in client settings while ensuring redundancy and load balancing of servers.

Abstract: When a general-purpose operation part (22, 23) is hidden by a window part (24), it becomes hard for an operator to visually check an association state between a field device (10A, 10B) and a hardware switch (3). If such a display state has occurred, an HMI server (5) stops a health check signal which is being output to a PLC (6). The PLC (6) detects the stop of the health check signal and forcibly cancels the association state between the field device (10A, 10B) and the hardware switch (3). Thus, a human error can be prevented.
