Control System Design

HMI + PLC = New Control System

The Twentieth Century has become history and so have a lot of old approaches to automation and instrumentation on the factory floor.

With lowering costs the driving force, industries will continue to move to HMI/PLC (human/machine interface/programmable logic controller) configurations on the factory floor. So HMI plus the PLC is becoming the new control system.

Undoubtedly there is still a demand for straightforward text-based products, but many machine builders want to incorporate graphical displays because of their user-friendliness..

Mitsubishi's Asa Nilsson says: "The big development this year is likely to be HMIs based on Windows CE." But Nilsson reminds us not to lose sight of what is available now: "An Ethernet-capable HMI can allow communication with the internet, companies' intranets, e-mail laptops, mobil phones and pagers."
