Human-machine interfaces – Machine operation and monitoring

Each machine automation is different. However, it is essential to keep an eye on processes at all times – for every machine.

Therefore, you need to find the right HMI device for your requirements.

Web panels


Thanks to plug and play, the web panels are very easy to operate, which is essential in today's automation world. Our web panels are available in sizes from 3.5 to 12".

They provide a simple, web-based introduction to process visualization and are ideal for small machines and systems.

Operator terminals


Operation with programmable buttons
Operation with programmable buttons
The information that is to be entered and then displayed on operator panels usually depends on the installation location of the machine.

Therefore use the permanently and freely programmable buttons on our operator terminals to individually adapt the devices to the operating environment. All terminals have a full graphic display with five-step grayscale and one white LED illumination.




Touch panels


Touch panels offer comprehensive SCADA functions. They can therefore be used not only to implement intuitive and tailor-made operating concepts, but also demanding visualization solutions.

The devices are available in a choice of display sizes from 3.8 to 7".  For greater user-friendliness and a larger display area, more powerful panels with a display size of 6.5 to 15" can be used.
