 EcoSUI Summary
•EcoSUI HMI is the operating interface of the MCIS solution
It communicates with other MCIS modules:

•SBUS Servers (Acquisition Module)

oGets Live values from SBUS equipment
oSends commands
•Central DB
oGets the configuration (the configuration is stored
locally on each computer. When MCIS starts, it first
checks if a new configuration is available and
downloads it if necessary)
oGets the alarm list, events & measurements

Each of these 3 modules can be installed on only one computer

(light project) or scattered around different computers. (Remark:
There is only one installation package. It installs all 3 modules on
the computer even if some of them are not used)

The maximum number of EcoSUI HMI is 24.
