        										|  Recently, software-based monitoring systems have
        												been widely used, and customer needs for such systems
        												are increasing also in the field of steam turbines.
        												To provide a system that meets these customer requirements,
        												Shin Nippon Machinery Co., Ltd. has developed a
        												steam turbine console panel that adopts a touch screen
        												mechanism. Use of this mechanism allows the steam
        												turbine console panel to be downsized, helps the operator
        												perform complex operations of the steam turbine,
        												and enables transmission of data between the panel and
        												the central DCS. This paper introduces the steam turbine
   												console panel adopting a touch screen mechanism. |
