03Where DDI panels run
Machines and process plants
From a single machine to the control center of a production plant.
04From field to screen
One machine or a whole plant
A DDI panel can control a single machine or a full process. Drives and starters run the motors, the controller runs the sequence, and supervision software shows the process and logs its data on HMI and SCADA screens.
