What is HMI?

Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is the user interface that connects an operator to the controller in an industrial environment. It's the "face" of automation systems.

Operator Interface

  • Monitor process variables
  • Control machines & processes
  • Receive alarms & notifications
  • Data entry & parameter setting

HMI vs SCADA

HMI (Local)
Single machine/line interface
