MACHINE HMI
HMI Panel PC for Machine Operators and Production Lines
Give operators a place to view machine status, respond to alarms and enter production data. Match the panel PC to your HMI runtime, controller connections and cabinet opening before finalizing the machine design.
What makes machine integration difficult?
Check the software, the devices it talks to and the way the operator uses the screen.
One machine, several devices
List the PLC, scale and label printer by model. A matching port still needs the right protocol or driver.
Touch at the machine
Confirm how operators tap the screen when wearing gloves or when the front surface is damp after cleaning.
Replacing an installed terminal
An equal screen diagonal can still leave a different cutout, mounting depth or cable exit.
Where operators use an HMI panel PC
Match each terminal to the work operators do and the devices they use at the station.
Machine operator station
View alarms, machine states and recipes at the equipment.
Weighing and labeling
Read a scale and send label jobs from the line application.
MES production terminal
Let operators open work orders and record quantities or exceptions at the station.
Inspection equipment interface
Display inspection results and give technicians access to the equipment interface.
Five checks before selecting a machine terminal
Use these five checks to define the project before selecting a model.
Environment
Record cabinet temperature, dust and cleaning method. Specify which surfaces are exposed.
Touch and display
Use the intended gloves and screen layout to assess touch targets, glare and viewing distance.
Software and performance
Confirm the HMI or MES version, its operating system and any services that run alongside it.
I/O and connectivity
Map each device to its port and protocol. Reserve access for commissioning or diagnostics.
Mounting and service
Send the cutout drawing and check rear depth, cable bends and how a technician removes the unit.
Panel PC options for machine builders
Start with the configuration that matches your software and installation, then confirm the exact model for your project.
Fanless x86 Panel PC
Evaluate this family for a PC based HMI or MES client when the software requires x86. Confirm the operating system image and available ports for the selected unit.
ARM Panel PC
Consider an ARM configuration when your operator app or browser dashboard runs on the target ARM operating system.
Arm Mounted Panel PC
Consider an arm mounted unit where the operator needs a screen beside the machine and cabinet mounting is impractical. Review arm geometry and cable routing.
