Emerson Machine Visualization Solution Improves User Operations

The Emerson PACSystems RXi HMI next-generation machine visualization solution helps users overcome the limitations of lower budgets, fewer people, and higher productivity demands. This highly intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) addresses the needs of today’s industrial workforce with easy-to-use, smartphone-like graphical displays without sacrificing rugged, industrial performance.

Unlike traditional resistive displays, PACSystems RXi HMI is designed with projective capacitive touchscreen technology that allows users to interact with the visual display with 10-point multitouch capabilities like swipe, pinch, or zoom to move to the next screen or expand a chart, enabling easy operation by a wide range of personnel with varying levels of training and experience.

PACSystems RXi HMI comes pre-loaded and pre-licensed with the advanced Movicon WebHMI software, so the device is conveniently ready to operate out of the box. It is HTML5-ready, which allows users to collaborate from anywhere, so the operations, management, and maintenance teams can all view the same screen at the same time, no matter the distance.

The system is IIoT-ready for data analysis, troubleshooting, and diagnostics. A data trending tool provides a clear snapshot of productivity and quality. The SQLite database tool and PAC analyzer help users troubleshoot problems and minimize downtime. In addition, it provides extensive protocol support with OPC UA for better data contextualization and MQTT for easy cloud connectivity, so the solution goes far beyond visualization.

The PACSystems RXi HMI protects against both physical and digital risks. It offers protection in wet applications with certifications for both high-pressure water jets, as well as being approved for use in a wide range of temperatures from -20° to 65°C. In addition, the device is resistant to chemicals, impact, scratches, and dust.
