wheni installing wincc flexible software Microsoft sql server 2014 express edition not installing. due to this it did not install. will you please help me on that. and when I install direct sql server 2014 express edition it install but wincc not install
hello sir this second file sim-ekb my browser say it is a virus is this safe or is this error of my browser?
I have sim-ekb installed from another newer version is this ok?
please answer thank you

The response was to marshal all the plant sensor outputs onto a CRT or, as they became available, a flat panel display. Operators could respond to displayed plant status using a keyboard and mouse, or, more recently, a touch screen. Note that this did not entirely eliminate discrete input and output (I/O) components, which in fact are still have a role today alongside the more advanced HMI solutions.
Yet digitalisation, and the growth of Industry 4.0 since around 2014, meant that simple flat panel solutions in turn became inadequate. For various reasons which we will explore, Industry 4.0 environments generate vast amounts of data, which have to be presented to operators in readily-assimilated formats. They have to be given information rather than data. Operators also have to respond in more nuanced and sophisticated ways.
This all means that although most HMIs are still based on flat panel displays, their hardware, software and processing power are vastly different to those of, say, 20 years ago. And flat panel systems are no longer the whole story; some applications are now benefitting from Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies.
Accordingly, we will now look at the nature and volume of data generated by Industry 4.0 installations, why this presents a challenge to HMI design, and the software and hardware solutions now available to address this challenge. We also review the more recent trends related to AR and VR, and their impact on HMI design.
Autonomous systems work on specific tasks autonomously without human interaction by leveraging AI algorithms. In manufacturing, autonomous systems can collect information from the surrounding environment, adapt, and make data-driven decisions without the intervention of a human user.
Firstly, the amount of equipment of various types and diverse applications that must now be managed is much greater. Secondly, the volume of data generated by each machine may be much higher. For example, a machine that once just fed back real time data about its throughput and current operating conditions may now provide further status data related to, say, motor temperature and vibration to inform predictive maintenance analytics.
HMI and embedded PC manufacturer Advantech sees connectivity and Big Data as key issues for Industry 4.0 HMI design: In intelligent manufacturing, more control functions are required to process higher data complexity and larger data quantities. HMIs have to be capable of a new generation of communication protocols to ensure the stability and the immediacy of data transmission between PLCs.
In traditional process or production control systems, HMIs have tended to use a broad spectrum of colours, with unnecessary graphics, visual distractions, and lack of overall situational awareness. Such displays can suffer from inconsistent navigation, presenting data that is difficult to understand, improper depiction of alarms, and a lack of display methodology .
Proper use of colour: Instead of intense and colourful graphics, the High-Performance HMI is developed in grayscale, with colour intended to be the attention-getter. In a grayscale screen, the use of colour is meant to indicate an abnormal situation very quickly. It has been shown that the new use of colour alone has resulted in a 48% improvement in detecting abnormal situations before alarms occur.
A pressure indicator could read 900 psi, but is that a good thing or a bad thing? By utilising an indicator of normal range with a process variable, the operator can make a quick decision to take action to correct a situation that is trending away from normal.
The standard also defines a display hierarchy. Creating a hierarchical system of displays gives the operators overall situational awareness, and the ability to drill down to very specific data points when necessary.
Although capacitive touchscreens are more sensitive and responsive than resistive touchscreens, they require direct contact with a conductive object, such as a finger or a special stylus. In industrial environments with operators needing to wear gloves, resistive touch screen (RTS) types perform better, while being reliable and cost-effective.
Voice activated interfaces: Voice-activated interfaces, also known as voice recognition systems, enable users to interact with HMI systems using spoken commands. These interfaces can be highly advantageous in situations where the user is unable to interact with traditional input devices like keyboards, mice, or touchscreens. Voice-activated interfaces have become more popular in recent years due to advancements in natural language processing and machine learning algorithms. These greatly improved the accuracy and responsiveness of speech recognition systems .
Gesture-based interfaces allow users to interact with HMI systems through physical movements and gestures. These interfaces have gained popularity due to their intuitive nature and potential to provide a more immersive and natural user experience. Gesture recognition systems typically rely on various sensors and cameras to track and interpret user movements, enabling HMI systems to respond accordingly .
Physical buttons are also helpful for eliminating issues encountered when using touchscreen HMIs: namely difficulty distinguishing graphical onscreen changes under sunlight, shifting, and unclear targets, and the need to look at a screen when performing important tasks .
HMIs with high computing power are needed for applications processing big data or high resolution images, such as defect inspection applications used in quality control processes for the food and beverage industry, data and image calculation used in electronics manufacturing, and face recognition technology for people working in public places. Advantech, for example, provides premium industrial panel PC solutions, including the fanless touch panel PC TPC-B610 series, and the configurable panel PC PPC-600 series to realise industry 4.0 applications.
On the other hand, if the data computing requirement is lighter, a thin-client terminal HMI with lower power consumption and lower cost is recommended. Additionally, if the panel PC is to serve as a web terminal, Advantech offers a web-browser terminal HMI series with embedded browser and rapid Web App development features. Advantech provides cost-effective industrial thin-client HMI solutions and web browser terminal series to fit different scenarios.
However, if several machines are involved, or the display is to be used for visualising more sophisticated data such as performance analysis, predictive maintenance, or process optimisation, then larger, higher-resolution displays become necessary. They can present the complex information involved with sufficient clarity and detail.
Machine-level HMIs are dedicated to specific machines or equipment. They offer localised control and monitoring capabilities. These HMIs are typically installed directly on the machine or integrated into its control panel.
They can also free their hands for working on a machine by freezing an image and putting the tablet on a nearby work surface. The app guides operators through procedures by providing step by step instructions on the tablet.
They can inform their maintenance and repair tasks by accessing a wide selection of real-time data from PLCs, documents, images, web pages, notes, labels and data from an SQL Database. PDF files with technical documentation of the equipment, as well as electrical diagrams, images, and videos, are easy to find.
