We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Operator Terminals",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Fieldbus installation system suits new plant from
Pepperl+Fuchs USA, which we summarised at the time by saying "Pepperl+Fuchs FieldConnex will interface the field measurement instrumentation to Emerson's DeltaV digital automation system in GE Healthcare's Lindesnes plant in Norway".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Smaller HMIs are powered by XScale processors from
Beijer Electronics: "New smaller Exter terminals enable machine builders and system integrators to sharpen their competitive edge".
In October 2006, we covered the news from Beijer Electronics
concerning its Exter Pro+
- take a look at HMIs have scope for more information
which says: "New operator terminals from Beijer Electronics make it possible to have manuals and instructions directly in the machine".
Take a look also at the news release from Beijer Electronics, Compact operator panel wins prize for design,
as well as HMI/Scada system satisfies BMW's global demands from Copa-Data,
and Carib Breweries signs for re-engineering work from FMA Process Engineering.
