System for displaying and monitoring practical data in controllers

A method for monitoring practical data of controllers of an automation system by a programmable logic controller (PLC), comprising:

• converting, by an I/O card, practical data output received from sensors of the automation system into a digital data;
• arranging the I/O card to be in direct communication with a display interface without connecting to a central processing unit of the PLC by connecting the I/O card and the display interface directly via a circuit board with wire connection without any other intermediate elements;
• transmitting, by the I/O card, converted practical data output to a central processing unit of the PLC and a display interface;
• displaying non-invasively, by the display interface, the converted practical data output in real-time by directly connecting the I/O card with the sensors built into the automation system employing engineering units or digital counts such that user can monitor the practical data output via the display interface, wherein parts of the automation system are remained in the automation system during the direct connection and are not taken out to be transferred to an external monitoring device for determining whether the automation system is running property;
• preventing corrupted and skewed data from being displayed on the display interface by not employing additional use of meters, cables, device connections, sensors, and switches between the directly connected display interface, I/O card, and the sensors built into the automation system, and further wherein the practical data corruption is prevented by central processing unit of the PLC not engaging in the connection between the display interface and the I/O card;
• scrolling, by clicking and holding a button of the display interface, various menu options displayed on the display interface to determine and view the desired practical data output by the user in a different unit or count;
• and
• displaying the practical data output in the different unit or count by releasing the button of the display interface by the user when the corresponding menu option is selected during the scrolling.
