| In addition to flexible functionality and options on the inside, they must pass Optimar’s rugged test for durability under extreme conditions on the outside too. For instance, they must function without fail in extraordinary operating conditions that may be damp with humidity, wet with salt water or dry with heat. Some touch-screen cabinets are fixed in position, some are mounted so they rotate up to 360° but all are positioned at comfortable working heights in the most convenient locations. As a result, they may be specially mounted for unusual equipment configurations and may be distanced from the main power cabinet. The touch-screen displays are high resolution and in color so they are clearly readable from most angles in any lighting situation. The operating menus vary according to the Optimar product but the basic design and content of each graphical user interface are the same. Navigation is straightforward and intuitive so even Optimar’s most sophisticated equipment can be easily and safely managed by a trained operator with minimal experience. Depending on the machine, the EasyTouch menu may include options to access capacity information or other performance data over a short period. More detailed, accumulated information is available from OptiControl NetCenter. Optimar machines with touch-screen panels can be linked to other Optimar equipment and monitored collectively via OptiControl NetCenter for a total network overview. | 
Language options
English, Norwegian and Spanish are standard options with all Optimar systems. EasyTouch menus are available in other languages upon request. System and process diagrams
In automatic mode, the operator works from an on-screen diagram of the system showing each step of the process. In manual mode, the operator controls each phase of the process from a display with manual options specific to the phase of operation. Visible and understandable error alerts
Alarm signals indicating a fault or stop are clearly visible and, in automatic mode, the area causing the problem is precisely highlighted on a schematic diagram. Help options for functional details
Each machine also has its own control system so if one machine in the system is down, the others can continue running. As with all Optimar products, there is always a back-up plan. |
