The Human Machine Interface system for industrial monitor and control based on X3D and multi-agent technology

In exhibition to roboticized plant and large-scale complicated equipment, existing two-dimensional interface technology in industrial monitor and control (IMC) system has a lack of expressive force. It is required to add the dimension of information expression, and enhance the expressive force and interaction ability of IMC interface system via three-dimensional virtual reality technology, X3D as an example. An application method of IMC interface system based on X3D technology is proposed. It use existing IMC software and hardware environment as anterior foundation, and extend control terminal to three-dimensional interaction interface in virtual reality technology. Aimed at bad ability of modeling in X3D criterion, a suit of multi-agent model of IMC interface system under X3D is proposed. Aimed at the exchange of data and command between interface system in X3D and anterior IMC environment, based on standard OPC technology, a universal frame for remote monitor and control application in X3D is proposed. Based on above works, the HMI system based on X3D is constructed.
