Human Machine Interface (HMI), also referred to as User Interface, Operator Panel or Terminal, provides a means of controlling, monitoring, managing and/or visualizing device processes. An example is an operator panel which allows an industrial machine operator to interact with a machine in a graphical, visual way. With controls and read-outs graphically displayed on the screen, the operator can use either external buttons or the touch screen to control the machinery. Ranging from simple segmented displays to high-resolution LCD panels, HMIs can be located on the machine, in battery-operated, portable handheld devices, and also in centralized control rooms. They are used in machine and process control to connect the sensors, actuators and machines on the factory floor to I/O control and PLC application systems.
TI’s comprehensive range of HMI solutions has the right mix of performance and peripherals to meet the needs of each application category.
