Local Operator Station (LOS)

General Description

The Local Operator Station (LOS) is an optional communication panel in the DataChief system. The purpose of the LOS is to enable the operator local access to the distributed input/output modules for inspection of process variables, local operation of equipment, simulation of input/output signals, adjustment of parameters and inspection of the built-in diagnostics.

Local access to a distributed unit is established via a menu on the panel-display. As soon as the logical connection is established, the panel will assign the display control to the connected distributed module. The dialog itself is defined by the downloaded functionality of the distributed module. Ali modules connected to the same process-bus as the LOS are accessible by the operator.
