This video details the features and operation of the HMI. The HMI is an important factor for working efficiently, but also for promoting collaboration, which ultimately leads to optimized process control.
HMI stands for "Human Machine Interface" and describes the interface between the operator and a machine/system or process.
Automatic generation of HMI elements from the process model saves time and promotes uniformity of the HMI. Automatic mode executes pre-programmed sequences, while manual mode allows for manual control.
The HMI provides features such as automatic release, EOC mode, and sequence control for hardware zones. Sequence control enables single or automatic operation, parameter setting and timeout monitoring.
Alarm handling requires a reset for faults such as CMZ or TCMZ. The HMI displays alarm information and alarm history. Hardware zone status lamps provide information on the status of sequences, safety gate, emergency stop, and EOC mode. The lamp test function checks the control panel displays.
The following video shows an application example for beginners with the demo "Drilling Device".
