“Speak well, think well, do well” Zarathuštra.
If the PLC is the brain, the HMI system is the eyes, mouth and ears of the machine. It tells operators what is happening so that they have all the information they need to control the machine. Therefore, the human-machine interface (HMI) must be simple, user-friendly and complete so that operators can monitor and control the machine promptly.
Our experience means we can offer an interface that gives operators simple, clear control based on easy-to-read graphic elements. A layout based on progressive zooming means the main data can be viewed and set from the system level down to the individual component level. The HMI is created using SCADA packages available on the market or using dedicated software.
Our HMIs are based on:
- Especially configured personal computers
- Touch screen control panels
- Supervisors installed on virtual machines
Full, linear management of enable signals, active alarms and the alarm log simplifies operation and allows faults to be identified quickly for efficient maintenance.
