Abstract of the Disclosure The instant invention discloses a control system by which an operator controls equipment by selectively changing the operation condition thereof and which facilitates interaction between the control system and the operator. The control system comprises a device for receiving at least one input signal from the equipment being controlled which is a function of at least one operating condition thereof. The system also includes a touch sensitive display screen for representing the control system to the operator and at least one object represented on said touch sensitive display screen for displaying the at least one operating condition in response to receipt of the input signal. The object is a graphic representation of a mechanical control device used on control panels and, thus, is a familiar sight to the unskilled worker, who is typically ill at ease with computers. Devices for manipulating the object are also included and cause a change in the value thereof on the display screen to indicate a change in the operation condition. The manipulation devices are also graphic representations of control devices from control panels which also facilitates worker interaction with the system. The system also includes a device for generating an output signal to be transmitted to the equipment which is a function of the change in value of the object caused by the manipulation device.
