A Human Machine Interface or HMI is defined as a feature or component of a certain device or software application that enables humans to engage and interact with machines. Some examples of common Human Machine Interface devices that we encounter in our daily lives include touchscreens and keyboards. The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) provides an important visual of what is going on inside the control system. It is also an easy way to see multiple events in real time. It is mainly providing better safety to operator, increase productivity and create troubleshooting easier.
HMIs allow operators to start and stop cycles, adjust set points, and perform other functions required to adjust and interact with a control process. Because the HMI is software based, they replace physical wires and controls with software parameters, allowing them to be adapted and adjusted very easily.
