A well-programmed HMI helps operators monitor, understand and control their systems with confidence. ⚙️
What goes into HMI programming? Here are 3 key steps our team follows:
🔗 1. Link HMI Tags to the PLC: Establish communication between the HMI and PLC so the interface can display real-time data and interact with the control system.
🖥️ 2. Create HMI Displays: Build clear, user-friendly screens that allow operators to monitor system status and manage equipment.
🚨 3. Create an HMI Alarm List: Configure alarms to help operators identify faults, recognize abnormal conditions and respond when issues arise.
Each step plays an important role in creating an effective interface that supports reliable operation and better visibility into the process.
