Limited initial demonstrations of the system described took place during September 1980. A single CRT was used an an input device in the control center while operating a furnace and a pellet inspection gage. These two process line devices were completely controlled, despite the longer than desired response times noted, using a single control station located in the control center. The operator could conveniently execute any function from this remote location which could be performed locally at the hard-wired control panels. With the installation of the enhancements, the integrated touchscreen/graphics terminal will provide a preferable alternative to normal keyboard command input devices.
