PlantCALL™SeQent’s PlantCALL™ product family offers a cost-effective means of providing manual inputs into our visualization systems and to any OPC compatible HMI/SCADA system. PlantCALL uses wireless spread spectrum technology combined with a push button interface to enable operator initiated or automated communications in ‘grey’ areas of a plant or facility that are not hardwired. It enables station operators to communicate with areas and personnel beyond their individual workstations for such items as supervisor attendance, material calls or contacting plant maintenance personnel.
Key Features:
PlantCALL Station is a physical button interface which may be mounted at a workstation as the user interface to PlantCALL. Each station is uniquely addressed on the PlantCALL network so that applications may determine the state of any button in the network. The button operator can visualize the state of each button at the station via a small LED beside each button. PlantCALL Receiver is the spread spectrum interface which receives the station requests and enables the PlantCALL Server engine to decode and process the requests. The PlantCALL Receiver is connected to the PlantCALL Server directly or to a LAN connection. Our solution includes these components:
