These scada systems and distributed control systems visualize the control status through HMI (Human Machine Interface) software.

The present invention relates to a method of utilizing 3D modeling and real-time rendering in HMI software of an automatic control system requiring remote monitoring control and a method of 3D-based HMI software automation development tool.

The SCADA system or distributed control system sends and receives control signals and status values of devices that require remote monitoring and control through a standardized communication bus (serial bus, Ethernet, etc.) and visualizes the sending and receiving values through HMI software.

This HMI software displays all of the remote monitoring and control target systems such as plant facilities in 2D block diagram form and displays the system components (valves, gauges, controllers, etc.) for remote communication with 2D symbols or text, The change is represented by a change in symbol shape or a change in text value.

Also, in the development of such HMI software, it is implemented to be realized by 2D symbol or text value change of the HMI screen after implementation of data communication in conjunction with a scada system or a distributed control system and implementation of transmitted data processing.
