Machine level visualisation is much more than just a broad offer of panel hardware with different sizes and operating elements. Yet, finding a solution that is future-proof and flexible, which can be easily integrated into higher-level networks, and that can also meet the ever-increasing demands for transparency and data provision.
Siemens’ human machine interface technology; SIMATIC HMI, part of the Totally Integrated Automation concept, has been engineered to cope with these increasingly complex requirements associated with the interface between man and machine or operator and process.
Whether you are looking for a single keypad panel, right through to mobile and stationery operator interfaces with multi-touch functionality and a Runtime module pre-installed on the device; the SIMATIC HMI panel portfolio has a wide selection of panels for any scenario that is scalable - from basic tasks to high performance configurations for more demanding applications.
The new SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort Panels with their capacitive multi-touch displays (in sizes 7 to 22 inches) offer you all the freedom that you need to implement innovative operating concepts, both now and in the future.
All six sizes of the Unified Comfort Panels come with the same number of hardware interfaces as well as equal levels of functionality. All you have to do is the choose the right screen size.
These HMI panels are truly revolutionary in that they provide users with the possibility to install and operate apps on these devices alongside your own runtime, thanks to integrated edge technology. It also simplifies scaling due to its vector-based visualisation.
The new SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort Panels are Edge-enabled, opening up completely new possibilities, such as functional expansion with the use of apps as well as the processing and analysis of data directly at the machine.
Operation by smartphone has set the standard for usability, so naturally the Multi-touch technology makes controlled the Unified Comfort Panels both easy and elegant with high contrast colours and great readability.
SIMATIC WinCC Unified is the fundamentally redesigned visualisation software in the TIA Portal. Once components have been created, they can be used both for PC systems and on the SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort Panels, which are part of the WinCC Unified System.
If you're looking to improve your HMI design, then the Siemens HMI design workbook could be just up your street. It contains concrete tips for HMI design, be it visual appeal, layout, structure or interaction. It also shows you how to avoid typical problems that can still be observed in many present-day HMIs.
