HMI (Human - Maschine Interface) control panels are elements used for human-machine communication. Currently, thanks to the development of computerization, HMI panels often take over the tasks of industrial computers. Modern panels can be controlled remotely, they are also equipped with software and touch screens, which greatly facilitates the exchange of information at the human-machine level. Depending on the purpose and the degree of automation of a given device or industrial installation, various models of HMI panels are used. They can include a membrane keypad and / or a combination of various switches, buttons, timers, and knobs. One of the main advantages of modern HMI panels is that they are equipped with LCD displays. Modern HMI panels allow you to connect with other devices, e.g. PLC controllers, and also enable real-time data collection and sending them to the MES system.
