HMI Programming
What is HMI and HMI Programming
In the world of industrial automation, Programmable Logic Controllers, or PLCs, control plant floor equipment to manufacture certain goods. Although the field of automation has grown tremendously over the last few decades, humans play a significant role in the operation, troubleshooting, and maintaining these complex systems.
A Human Machine Interface, or HMI for short, is a device that allows a human to give directions and receive feedback from the PLC that is controlling the manufacturing process. In other words, it is a means to input commands into your machines and earn feedback about their status.
Put simply, an HMI is an industrial computer that is correctly put in place to communicate between the PLC and the operator of the manufacturing floor.
Wem is a market town and civil parish in Shropshire, England,[1] 9 miles (14 km) north of Shrewsbury and 9 miles (14 km) south of Whitchurch.
The name is derived from the Old English term wamm, meaning 'marsh".[2]
As a caput of a barony and a large manor and parish Wem was a centre for justice and local government for centuries, and the headquarters of the North Shropshire District Council until Shropshire became a unitary authority. From the 12th century revisions to the hundreds of Shropshire, Wem was within the North Division of Bradford Hundred until the end of the 19th century.[3][4]
It is considered that the landscape around the town may be the inspiration for Shakespeare's play 'As You Like It', a belief reflected in cultural programming in the town.[5]
