Ridan Releases Ready-Made HMI Panels for Automation Cabinets of ITPs and Pump Stations

Ridan (Ridan Kazakhstan) has unveiled ready-made HMI panels for automation cabinets, built on ECL-3R controllers. The unit mounts on the cabinet door and displays key system parameters on a touchscreen: equipment status, alarm signals, and manual-control elements.

Two Specialised Versions

The range includes two variants:

• For individual thermal points (ITPs) — based on the ECL-3R 368 controller;
• For pump stations — based on the ECL-3R Pumps controller.

Each version ships with pre-installed software and standard operating scenarios tailored to the respective controller.

What the Screen Shows and What You Can Do

A single screen displays key performance indicators for pumps and valves, active alarms, and other real-time operational data. The panel allows operators to monitor main parameters, alarms, and ITP status without opening the cabinet, and to perform standard operations in manual mode. This is particularly relevant when maintenance staff do not hold electrical-safety clearance to access the cabinet interior.

How It Differs from Standard Touch Panels

Unlike typical HMI panels that require developing a user interface, configuring screens, and verifying communication with the controller directly on site, Ridan panels are delivered as a fully integrated solution. This allows them to be incorporated into standard automation cabinets without any additional interface programming.

Local Analytics Without a Dispatching System

The solution is aimed at sites where a dispatching (BMS) system is absent or where the communication link needed for it is unreliable. The built-in local event log and trend graphs enable staff to analyse abnormal situations: recording timestamps of shutdowns and faults, and assessing parameter dynamics before and after an incident.
