Hardware Configuration
Orchid® Touch Interface takes our control and auxiliary room panel displays to a new level of realism. High fidelity panel graphics are displayed on large touch screen monitors with High Definition resolution. The monitors are mounted on frames and can be arranged in many different configurations to mimic different control rooms. Orchid® Touch Interface can be used on one bay of large touch screens capable of displaying all panels of the control room or several monitor bays configured differently to replicate different control room layouts.
Use one bay of large touch screen monitors or reproduce the entire control room with multiple monitor bays.
The top monitor of three-monitor bay articulates allowing passage through a standard 32" x 84" door-frame. Each bay is mounted on swivel casters for easy maneuvering from one room to another. Leveling pads are also provided in each bay to fix them in place once they are rolled into their final destination.
A two-monitor version is also available for desk operations.
User Interface
Orchid® Touch Interface's touch screen interface allows students to operate the panel graphics manually and obtain life-like visual and audible real-time responses.
To keep training as realistic as possible, the popular panning and zooming of the soft panels in the instructor station are disabled for Orchid® Touch Interface, providing individual students and teams the opportunity to know the actual location and orientation of panel devices that are vital to operating your plant. Navigation can be performed from one panel to another without the risk of having an unrealistic layout of panel devices.
In an environment where all panels are not visible at the same time, off-view annunciators can be missed, creating a gap in training. With Orchid® Touch Interface, any time an off-screen alarm actuates (annunciators located on panels in an area that the learner is not presently looking at), an indicator appears to warn the student. With a simple touch of that same indicator, an overview of the control room is displayed, indicating which panel is in alarm. From that same interface, the student can then navigate to it quickly.
