HMI

A human-machine interface (HMI) is the user interface that connects an operator to the controller for an industrial system.

[A]Introduction

What the unit delivers.

HMI Services

Industrial control systems (ICS) are integrated hardware and software designed to monitor and control the operation of machinery and associated devices in industrial environments, including those that are designated critical infrastructure. An HMI includes electronic components for signalling and controlling automation systems.

Some HMIs also translate data from industrial control systems into human-readable visual representations of the systems. Through the HMI, an operator can see schematics of the systems and turn switches and pumps on or off, for example, or raise or lower temperatures.

Deployment

HMIs are usually deployed on Windows-based machines, communicating with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other industrial controllers.

Process Signal
  1. 01

    Human

    The operator interacts with a readable, schematic view of the system.

  2. 02

    Interface

    The HMI translates control-system data into human-readable visuals.

  3. 03

    Controller

    Commands pass to PLCs and other industrial controllers.

  4. 04

    Machine

    Switches, pumps and temperatures respond in the field.
