 Operator
interfaces for industrial processes
take many forms. From standard
discrete pushbuttons, meters
and switches to computer based
communication interfaces, all
still have their place depending
upon what needs to be accomplished.
We work with customers to recommend
what makes sense for the customer’s
ergonomics as well as data acquisition
and storage needs if required.
A very interesting HMI that
bears investigation is Parker
SSD’s TS8000 series. The
TS8000 comes in several cost
effective display sizes and
resolutions. TS8000 comes standard
with communications drivers
for all current SSD Drives products,
such as the 590+ DC Drive, 650v
and 690+ AC Drives, 631/635/637
Servo Drives, Link2 products,
and the 890 Drive system. Additionally,
device drivers for most common
PLC’s are included as
standard. The TS8000 makes for
an excellent low cost communications
bridge between disparate protocols.
 The
TS8000 has a full graphics editor
package included as standard
– there is no special
software to purchase. The TS8000
offers both real-time trending,
as well as historical data logging
for process application enhancement.
Logged files are stored in a
common .CSV (comma separated
variable) format to the optional
CompactFlash card. CompactFlash
card memory is expandable and
data can be permanently stored.
CompactFlash provides an easy
method to clone, restore, and
upgrade applications and can
be purchased at most any local
electronics store. Trending
and logging functions are configured
using TS8000’s DSI8000
software in a simple and easy
to use manner. In addition,
stored data is also accessible
over the Web, by using a standard
browser, such as Internet Explorer.
You can also enable DSI8000’s
Virtual Panel, a unique access
and control feature, which allows
a standard web browser to both
view and control the TS8000’s
display in realtime.
