Pathfinder Operator Station

We have comprehensive test fixtures to fully test our repairs, and we stand behind all our Pathfinder repairs with our 2-year warranty. Control System Labs has been supporting the plastics industry for over 50 years, and we understand this equipment and the problems that arise.

The Pathfinder Operator Station is a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) device that is used to monitor and control industrial processes. It is a product of Honeywell Process Solutions, a company that specializes in process automation and control systems.
Here are some of the main functions of the Pathfinder Operator Station:

• Process monitoring: The Pathfinder Operator Station provides real-time monitoring of industrial processes, allowing operators to view data such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and other critical process parameters.

• Process control: The device allows operators to interact with the process and make changes to its parameters. Operators can initiate actions such as starting, stopping, or changing the speed of the process.

• Alarm management: The Pathfinder Operator Station can provide alarm notifications for critical process events such as equipment failure, process deviations, or safety breaches.

• Data logging: The device can log process data, allowing operators to review historical data and identify trends or anomalies in the process.

• Recipe management: The Pathfinder Operator Station can store multiple process recipes, allowing operators to quickly switch between different process parameters and settings.

• Communication: The device can communicate with other industrial devices, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), through various communication protocols. The Pathfinder Operator Station is typically used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and petrochemical, where the processes are complex and require close monitoring and control. The device is designed to withstand harsh environments, including extreme temperatures, humidity, and vibration, making it suitable for use in rugged industrial settings.
