Process Automation and Visualization - Laboratory Manual

This laboratory manual is intended for students learning process automation and visualization through practical exercises with a human-machine interface (HMI) and a programmable logic controller. It covers the technical characteristics and connection of the Schneider Electric HMISTU855 graphical panel to a PLC and a computer via Ethernet and USB, installation and configuration of Vijeo Designer, and setup of communication parameters and variables. The practical section guides the development of an HMI project for command-panel visualization, control of output devices, and workstation display, including simulation and process-value presentation. Step-by-step procedures support independent creation and testing of projects on the didactic workstation
