HMI panel How To Select A Suitable and High Advantage Competitive HMI For The Project?

The First Step: Selecting Brand of HMI

It is good to choose a brand according to the needing of the customers or the  market. But it is not for selecting a brand to decide, or more about to focus on its performance parameters, and to be used the functions achieved. Actually there is an attractive story behind the famous brand. So to choose a brand, try to achieve high practicality, to avoide waste one's talent on a petty job. For example, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Proface, Panasonic brand...etc with a good performance, but before decision to select them, should consider, how many performance of HMI panel will be used for the project? Whether the cost paid matches the performance used on the project? 

Less performance used to match a very high cost, so will it worth? And where is your market point? Maybe more consider another China brand with a very perfect performance too, such as Mochuan brand. Welcome contact us to discuss more.

The Second Step: Selecting The HMI Screen Size

There are two means of size here. One is screen display screen size, the other is CPU size. Integrating the scale of the entire project, to determine the size of the HMI panel needs, through the project as a whole to present the effect. Do not select the size is too small or too large, becuase too small is look very compact and not enough to operate in well, too large will look the overall proportion of the untuned and waste. It requires engineers to design a good enginnering diagram in advance to allocate the size of each accessory part of the proportion. Wanna win every high value market, it needs to pre-design and seriously selected, but not take for granted.

Selecting HMI screen hardware parameters, mainly look at the CPU running speed and the capacity of the memory. According to the project involves the amount of data exchange animation, the size of the pictures to choose the CPU and memory. When processing more data and picture format is large, needing to choose a fast running speed, memory slightly large HMI. For example, Mochuan 15.6Inch MC-H156E, 7Inch MC-H070CWE, MC-H070CW with 1GHz CortexTM-A7 in CPU. And 10.1Inch MC-H100C, MC-H100CWE with 1GHz cortexTM-A7 and 4GB Flash memory. In addition, also needing to consider the functional requirements needed in the project, such as, how to achieve the multi-level tital pop-up, whether the screen display meets the customer's need...etc.

The Third Step: Selecting Type of HMI Panel

With the project and market demand and technology innovation, general resistive screen has no meet the new needs of the market and the high requirement of customers, thus deriving a new series of touch screen products, that is multi touch capacitive hmi, its high definition, highest bright, no drift, anti-scratech, supporting multi-touch to achieve special page effect. It is similar to our Apple iPhone, which is very popular in the market. If you are interested, you can have a try Mochuan Drives capacitive hmi panel type. Or to require the special operation temperature for the working environment,   There is no a good way that a conventional resistive screen can be implemented, becuase its only support the operation temperature from 0°C to 50°C, it is far enough to meet. But Mochuan have another series type HMI panel, wide-temperature metal shell resistive hmi panel, supporting the operation temperature from -20°C to +70°C, it is very helpful to require higher or lower operation temperature working environment, such as Canada, Russia and America ...etc, when winter is coming the temperature is very low. So this type metal shell hmi panel is the best choice. 

So it requires a good positioning, what type of HMI screen to select. For example, used in the renovation of equipment, used in the new development of equipment, the target market is high-end or low-end, whether the customer has special requirements, or to achieve a certain expected results, these factors should be taken into account, and then to make a correct choice is very necessary.

The Fourth Step: Communication Mode

Preference is given to the HMI Panel itself with lower computer drive touch screen. Firstly, this is will be more convenient and simple in the definition of the subsequent project address and conversion, becuase if you choose Modbus compatible devices, it is necessary to convert the HMI touch screen monitoring address according to the rules of the definition of different lower computer(PLC) manufacturer, which not only greatly increase the workload of engineers and also easy to covert the wrong. Secondly, needing to draw up in advance, a communication program for the entire project. Do it need the ethernet to communicate with the upper computer, or need two rs485 to be maste or slave station communication, or through one rs485 and one rs232 communication to achieve.

The reason is rs232 is suitable for communication between local devices, and its transmission distance is generally not more than 15m, and rs232 only allows one-ton-one communication. But rs485 transmission distance is from tens of meters up to 2Km, and rs485 interface allows up to 255 slave station to be connected. These are required to be designed by our engineers, with whom to communicate, how many devices to communicate, how to achieve the final function, whether to take into consider the interference problems of the field environment etc. All of the above are considered.

The Fifth Step: Selecting A Supplier

The correct undertanding of a supplier is to be able to provide very stable performance products and after sale and technical service, can do online one-to-one timely guidance and solution. In the face of unforeseen events have the feasibility and flexibility of the program to provide. After all, industrial HMI PLC is a technical product, needing for a manufacturer's cooperation and support, to make customer worry-free. Maybe you can choose Mochuan Drives. A small try will bring a high value, so why not try?
