 Before PPC application
The original system was equipped with ASCII terminals.
After PPC application
The PPC-100M allows the use of special software, which enables a system that is adapted to both the needs of the operator and the requirements of the work objective. In addition, it provides more operational control for the human operator. The PPC-100M's panel can handle a lot of information, so the system can work with many models, depending on the material and the process task used. Furthermore, the PPC-100M's panel also provides real-time server functionality, manages more data and is more reliable than any ASCII terminal system.

System structure-software
MS-DOS 6.22 is the panel PPC-100M's operating system, while Daex Control developed the control application. This software receives the production data in real time, then sends it through the Ethernet to the mainframe host, which generates reports and statistics. This software also provides an MMI (Man-Machine-Interface) between the human operator and the computer in real time.
System structure-hardware
The hardware includes the panel PC (the PPC-100M) with the expansion kit and a PCD-892A solid state card, which provides data security during power failure. The PPC-100M works as a real-time server, independently manages all transfers of the central factory host. This panel PC allows a system improvement without changing the original acquired data system based on terminal computers. Data acquisition is enabled by scanners (type) and numeric keyboards (quantity).
