Abstract

A SCADA web HMI client apparatus comprises a processor and a memory. The memory stores image data on an HMI screen to supervise an industrial plant, screen operation authority information, and exception information that are received from a web server. The screen operation authority information defines operation permission/prohibition of the HMI screen for each web browser. The exception information defines operation permission/prohibition of each of specific operation parts on the HMI screen for each web browser. The processor executes screen drawing processing in which operation permission/prohibition defined in the exception information is preferentially applied to each of the specific operation parts on the HMI screen, operation permission/prohibition defined in the screen operation authority information is applied to each of operation parts other than the specific operation parts on the HMI screen, and the HMI screen is drawn on the web browser.

Claims (18)

1 . A SCADA web HMI client apparatus executing at least one web browser communicating with a web server, the SCADA web HMI client apparatus comprising a processor, a memory, and a monitor, wherein

the memory stores image data on an HMI screen to supervise an industrial plant, screen operation authority information, and exception information that are received from the web server, the screen operation authority information defining operation permission/prohibition of the HMI screen for each web browser, the exception information defining operation permission/prohibition of each of specific operation parts on the HMI screen for each web browser, the specific operation parts being a part of a plurality of operation parts on the HMI screen,

the processor is configured to execute the web browser displayed on the monitor, and

the processor is configured to execute screen drawing processing in which operation permission/prohibition defined in the exception information is preferentially applied to each of the specific operation parts on the HMI screen, operation permission/prohibition defined in the screen operation authority information is applied to each of operation parts other than the specific operation parts among the plurality of operation parts on the HMI screen, and the HMI screen is drawn on the web browser.

2 . The SCADA web HMI client apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the screen drawing processing, in a case where the web browser is not permitted to operate the HMI screen in the screen operation authority information and where the web browser is permitted to operate the specific operation parts in the exception information, the specific operation parts are drawn in an operable state on the web browser, and operation parts other than the specific operation parts among the plurality of operation parts are drawn in an inoperable state on the web browser.

3 . The SCADA web HMI client apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the screen drawing processing, in a case where the web browser is permitted to operate the HMI screen in the screen operation authority information and where the web browser is not permitted to operate the specific operation parts in the exception information, the specific operation parts are drawn in an inoperable state on the web browser, and operation parts other than the specific operation parts among the plurality of operation parts are drawn in an operable state on the web browser.

4 . A SCADA web HMI system, comprising:

an HMI server apparatus configured to execute a web server: and

an HMI client apparatus configured to execute at least one web browser communicating with the web server, wherein

the HMI server apparatus includes a server processor and a server memory,

the server memory stores image data on an HMI screen to supervise an industrial plant, screen operation authority information, and exception information, the screen operation authority information defining operation permission/prohibition of the HMI screen for each web browser, the exception information defining operation permission/prohibition of each of specific operation parts on the HMI screen for each web browser, the specific operation parts being a part of a plurality of operation parts on the HMI screen,

the server processor is configured to execute the web server, the web server being capable of transmitting the image data, the screen operation authority information, and the exception information to the web browser,

the HMI client apparatus includes a client processor, a client memory, and a monitor,

the client memory stores the image data, the screen operation authority information, and the exception information received from the web server,

the client processor is configured to execute the web browser displayed on the monitor, and

the client processor is configured to execute screen drawing processing in which operation permission/prohibition defined in the exception information is preferentially applied to each of the specific operation parts on the HMI screen, operation permission/prohibition defined in the screen operation authority information is applied to each of operation parts other than the specific operation parts among the plurality of operation parts on the HMI screen, and the HMI screen is drawn on the web browser.

5 . The SCADA web HMI system according to claim 4 , wherein, in the screen drawing processing, in a case where the web browser is not permitted to operate the HMI screen in the screen operation authority information and where the web browser is permitted to operate the specific operation parts in the exception information, the specific operation parts are drawn in an operable state on the web browser, and operation parts other than the specific operation parts among the plurality of operation parts are drawn in an inoperable state on the web browser.

6 . The SCADA web HMI system according to claim 4 , wherein, in the screen drawing processing, in a case where the web browser is permitted to operate the HMI screen in the screen operation authority information and where the web browser is not permitted to operate the specific operation parts in the exception information, the specific operation parts are drawn in an inoperable state on the web browser, and operation parts other than the specific operation parts among the plurality of operation parts are drawn in an operable state on the web browser.
