The Operator’s Console Recorder is a software module that automatically records images being shown on multiple HMI or SCADA operator’s displays.
The module takes its signals directly from each HMI screen’s video
software driver, so it records the actual video being sent to the HMI.
The software can accommodate video signals from an unlimited number of
HMIs to show what operators were watching at the time of an event,
alarm or process upset. Video images can be combined with the automatic
data-mapping capability of the vendor’s Video Historian, so the Console
Recorder can automatically retrieve and replay operator displays simply
by clicking on a time-based alarm or system message. Videos used for
monitoring plant activities can also be combined with the operator
console videos and data from a process historian. This enables
engineers, analysts or investigators to see what was happening in the
plant, what the operator was seeing on the HMI screen at the time, and
all relevant real-time data that occurred at the time of an event. Longwatch Inc. www.longwatch.com877.LONGWATCH
