Graphical control panel for industrial automatic control systems

In this thesis first of all, operator panels used in industrial control systems were researched; then similar to these observed operator panels, a new graphical control panel software and its hardware has been developed and found. The system was settled on two main concepts. These concepts were, creating software using personal computer and designing panel hardware that works independently from computer and programmable by computer. To constitute background, in the first chapter different graphical screen panels were introduced and their characteristics were told. In the second chapter the microcontroller used in hardware which combines all interfaces was introduced. The graphical screen choice and its screen processor parameter explanations and their usage were told in the third chapter. In the fourth chapter, the hardware which used in panel design was introduced and all components functions are also told. How the software that authorizes hardware was designed and how the operations between system components were done told in the last chapter.
