HMI ( Human Machine Interface ) is more than simple software for graphic animation; it is a SCADA software able to meet industrial standards of reliability and performance while still maintaining the user-friendliness of an office application.
You can find out some basic functions with HMI:
Graphical User Interface
Historical and Real Time Trend :
Any number of historical or real time trend charts may be embedded in a mimic. At run-time the user is supplied with a wide range of tools with which to manipulate their contents.
Alarm Detection :
Alarm messages may be printed, viewed in alarm lists and archived. You can configure alarm behaviour using groups, filters, sorting, acknowledgement and masking. You can also create alarm counters and associate specific actions with an alarm.
Scheduler:
The scheduler function enables you to execute recipes using a programmed timetable. Fully configurable actions can be programmed for a fixed date and time, or recurrently taking into account exception periods for public holidays and other calendar events.
Security:
The ability to iconise your animated mimics and to use pop-up windows reduces the possibility of missing crucial information. Multi-level access rights and menus associated with each user ensure that navigation in your application is tailored to the needs and the permissions of each user.
Report and Print :
Reports may be printed in real time or from recorded data and may be generated on demand, on event or scheduled.
