Human Machine Interface (HMI)

Details: Process control plant users interact with the controllers using HMI. It enables users to view Point Details, Alarms, and Events for a Scada System. The HMI was built as a generic application that can be used with different Controllers. The application is developed using Design by Contract methodology and is highly configurable by the users. The Point Data is stored in XML and can be entered using a separated offline application. The point details can be viewed on a UI along with auto update of point configured values depending on the Acquisition Rate.

Role: Team Lead. I was involved in the Design and Coding of the following modules.

Runtime Service - This service is used to provide a gateway to the other modules. The Service initiates another component called Runtime Component, which initializes other assemblies. The assembly details are picked up from a XML file and the assemblies are loaded using Reflection and initialized.

Data Control Component - This component is used on the UI to allow the user components to interact with the system. It provides a unified way of accessing the Point details, Alarms and Events from the system. It is also responsible for change subscription and passing the changed values to the user controls.

Display Server- This component is used to allow the client to interact with the server. The display server facilitates all interactions with the client using Remoting. It is responsible for sending the calls from the client UI to various other models responsible for point and alarm handling.

Configuration Tool - This is a windows application built to configure the system regarding point details, driver details etc. This tool uses Data grids to display the configuration data. The data is retrieved from XML files using typed datasets.
