The honest comparison

Legacy RS-360 vs Ring

Same trusted Allen-Bradley PLC. A generation-newer operator experience. Here is the factual, dimension-by-dimension difference.

The legacy RS-360 is a DOS-era Borland C++ HMI. This comparison is factual and reflects the current Ring build; figures and statuses are verifiable in the product.

A shift, before and after

The same job, a very different day

How the work actually changes on the plant floor.

Starting a batch

Before: recall and key in the right numeric step codes from memory or a binder.

After: pick the named recipe, confirm, start — with range validation before anything reaches the PLC.

Responding to an alarm

Before: read a numeric op-code, look it up in a printed legend, guess the context.

After: read the alarm in plain language, see which batch it belongs to, act.

Answering "what happened on Tuesday?"

Before: no batch history retained on the HMI.

After: search 1,400+ stored batches, open the exact run, export it.
