You can display a fully working mock industrial-plant diagram on
an IBM XT or AT using AFE Displays' IC2X extension card. You can
install up to four cards in your personal computer, which
interfaces with an industrial process controller to provide
instant data on the status of the plant.
 
Each full-size card contains an 80286 microprocessor and an
82786-based graphics processor. The IC2X operates its own EGA or
RGB monitor and supports its own keyboard, permitting
multitasking.
 
Besides graphics displays of current trends, the IC2X maintains
a historical database -- it stores the last 2000 trending traces
and the last 10,000 alarm loggings, which you can use for
analysis. ECBASIC programming facilities cover calculations,
shift reports, and data manipulation. The host computer handles
printing facilities.
 
Price: L3850.
