MACO 8000 Operator Station

The MACO 8000 Operator Station series comprises human-machine interface (HMI) units and their component parts, manufactured primarily by Barber-Colman as part of the 80AF MACO 8000 EL platform. These operator stations combine an EL display and membrane keypad, allowing operators to monitor processes, view system status, input parameters, and adjust machine settings in real time.

The stations are commonly used in paper manufacturing and converting equipment, where they interface with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to provide process visualization and control.
