Detailed selection guide for HMI devices
The ideal HMI for your application depends on various factors:
- Display resolution
- Memory required for the visualization project
- Number of drivers used in parallel
- System coupling, i.e., number of connected controllers
- Number of variables (tags)
- Polling rate of the variables
- Number of local scripts
- Number and frequency of logs (data logging)
