SCADA and HMI screens on Orenda Box

Build process pages, bind approved machine data, and publish an operator view. Open it in a browser or on the Box’s connected display.

Make the process visible

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) brings process values into a shared view. A human-machine interface (HMI) gives the operator a screen for the task. Orenda SCADA Studio provides page and equipment design, data bindings, trends, and published project versions on the Box.

Build the view around the operator

Pages and equipment

Use reusable equipment modules and navigation to show a machine, line, or process. Keep each page focused on one task.

Values and trends

Bind approved PLC values and retained time-series data. Check units and missing-data behavior before publishing.

Reviewed AI design

Use the integrated AI assistant to prepare page or module changes. Review the draft and apply the changes before publication.

Separate design from the published view

Work in a draft, validate the bindings, and publish a project version. The selected version supplies the operator view. Portable design packages support reuse; data sources and permissions must be checked on each destination Box.

  1. Define the operator’s task and approved data sources.
  2. Build pages and review navigation, units, and empty states.
  3. Test the browser view at the required screen sizes.
  4. Publish a version and select the local display when needed.

Choose how the team uses the screen

Browser access

Authorized users open the installed application through Edge Console or Orenda Connect.

Local display

Show the selected published version on the Box’s HDMI display. The host display session is read-only.

Controlled changes

Keep drafts and published versions separate. Review a change before replacing the operator’s current view.

SCADA deployment questions

Can an operator write a PLC value?

Configured browser controls require current operator permission, approved writable tags, value bounds, confirmation, and a fresh reading. Qualify the actual controller and action. The local HDMI viewer cannot send PLC commands.

Does SCADA replace the machine’s alarm system?

Studio evaluates its observed alarms while a viewer is running. Continuous alarms and machine protection remain with the PLC or the configured host alarm service.

Can we install Studio on an existing Box?

SCADA Studio is an optional catalog application. Check the supported Box platform version, permissions, data sources, and display requirements before installation.

Bring one operator screen

Show us the process, the available signals, and where the team will use the view. We can plan a focused demonstration.
