Hi, I’m Serhat Evcim. I work on SCADA and automation at Hermetry: the process drawings, the symbol library, 3D designs, and the field side under all of it, meaning PLCs, Modbus and gateways.
The SCADA part works like this. You draw a picture once in Process Diagrams, attach it to a device or a site, and connect each symbol to one of the device’s values. Every dashboard that shows that device or site then draws the picture live.
I’ll take questions in SCADA 2D library, in 3D scenes and digital twins, and in the Modbus and fieldbus sub-forum. For a drawing question, a screenshot of the drawing helps. For a field question, give the PLC or meter model, the register addresses and the serial settings (baud rate, parity), that saves a round of questions. The SCADA section of the docs is the place to start.
Hello Serhat. Automotive here. Is there anything in the library for assembly lines, or is it mostly tanks and pumps?
More than tanks. The core set is always open and it has a Shop floor (MES) family: andon board, andon call station, operator terminal, WIP buffer lane, reject bin, inspection station, end-of-line tester and a kanban flow rack. Past that, the Factory library covers factory automation, logistics and warehousing, and metalworking. Industry libraries are bought one by one, and each one covers both 2D and 3D. Full lists on Symbols and industry packs.
Food plant automation guy here, glad there’s someone to ask about drawings. I’ll have questions about showing valve states soon.
