Practical Guide For Remote Access To Plant Equipment 07
This evolution began with the development of widely applicable industrial computing
systems for human-machine interface (HMI) applications. Windows applications
introduced by Wonderware and Intellution allowed easier access to upper-level
business systems in the late 1980s. Years later, the proprietary network technologies
commonly used in automation systems started to transition to Ethernet. This
transition occurred initially at a higher level with programmable logic controllers
(PLCs) and Process Control Systems in the mid-1990s and then moved down to the
sensor level in 2000.
