HMI (HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE) in 

PLC SCADA DCS Automation Training 

Course

Human Machine Interface is the user interface in a manufacturing or process control system. It provides a graphics-based visualization of an industrial control and monitoring system. Previously called an "MMI" (man machine interface), an HMI typically resides in an office-based Windows computer that communicates with a specialized computer in the plant such as a programmable automation controller (PAC), programmable logic controller (PLC) or distributed control system (DCS).









IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING HMI

Human–machine interface is the part of the machine that handles the human–machine interaction. Membrane switches, rubber keypads and touchscreens are examples of that part of the Human Machine Interface which we can see and touch. In complex systems, the human–machine interface is typically computerized. The term human–computer interface refers to this kind of systems.

The engineering of the human–machine interfaces is by considering ergonomics (Human Factors). The corresponding disciplines are Human Factors Engineering (HFE) and Usability Engineering (UE), which is part of Systems Engineering.Tools used for incorporating human factors in the interface design are developed based on knowledge of computer science, such as computer graphics, operating systems, programming languages. Nowadays, we use the expression Graphical User Interface for human–machine interface on computers, as nearly all of them are now using graphics.Primary methods used in the interface design include prototyping and simulation.

HMI TRAINING IN WIZTECH

Wiztech industrial automation provide most advanced and best training in HMI (Human Machine Interface) industrial designing which is improve and trigger students skills in HMI and its communication. Students also study about HMI interfacing with DCS/PLC using various communication protocols. And also we train student how to develop the control strategy using HMI and recovering data from HMI.

IMPORTANT FEATURES OF A HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE.

High quality graphics for realistic representations of machinery and processes

This will give the operator and the management a very realistic view of the plant. The operator can control plant without in one central location, this could be very useful when there is a security concerns. The operator does not need to be close to the equipment to control of monitor.

Alarms (Real Time / Historical)

Viewing alarms will help the operator to locate and react faster to any multifunction of any anomalies. Some of the alarms could be of preventive type, for example to create a warning alarm on a hydraulic tank oil level before the oil level really reaches a critical point.

Historical Alarm logging is very usefull to track problems. It could be used to optimize process Which in turn would increase productivity and reduce lost time.



Trends (Real Time / Historical)


Trends are very usefull with PID's. You can view the curve used to reach a certain set point. Study of certain values will result in optimizing your process, and it will certainly make if much more efficient.

Simulation

Some of the high quality HMI's will be so flexible that you can simulate a plant in your office. This will help PLC program developers test their program without having a single equipments or devices. This kind of simulation is used more and more to reduce startup time.

Communication

Today most HMI's can communicate with many different brands of PLC's. Here is a list of most used communications.

Serial Port
Data Highway Plus (DH+)
Remote I/O
Ethernet (TCP/IP)
DDE - Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)etc ..
