Hello Everyone, I am currently working on designing a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for my project. With a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of HMI, I have taken on this project, where 50% of the work has already been completed by the previous programmer. I have successfully uploaded the .MER file and restored the runtime application, and now I have access to the source files. I am seeking tutorials that can guide me on how to effectively design an HMI from scratch. If you have any recommendations for YouTube channels, blogs, or websites that offer valuable insights into HMI design, please share them with me. For reference, I’m specifically working with the Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 7 and have been following the Allen-Bradley FactoryTalk User's Guide. Thank you for your assistance!
I gained a wealth of knowledge from YouTube, this website, and by purchasing the comprehensive video series available on Vimeo from [The Automation School](https://theautomationschool.com/).
Kindly verify the status of the PM.
Thank you, JZerbWidelto! Please take a moment to check your private messages. I appreciate your attention to this.
1. (As someone who embraces traditional methods, I admit to this and am working on changing) Disable your color palette. 2. Steer clear of making your design appear as a "Realistic Model." 3. Avoid cluttering your screen with all available tags; only display what is essential. 4. Choose a specific way to represent information and maintain consistency throughout. Explore the latest principles of "High Performance HMI Design." Dedicate an hour to watching this informative webinar video for valuable insights: High Performance HMI Done Right.
User rdrast provided some insightful tips: 1. **Turn Off Your Color Palette**: Embrace a minimalistic approach by disabling the color palette to enhance visual clarity. 2. **Avoid Realistic Models**: Strive for simplicity rather than attempting to create hyper-realistic representations. 3. **Limit Screen Tags**: Only display essential tags to avoid cluttering your interface—focus on what's truly necessary. 4. **Choose a Consistent Representation Style**: Select a clear method for presenting your information and maintain consistency throughout your design. To further enhance your understanding of effective design principles, consider exploring the emerging philosophy of "High Performance HMI Design." I recommend dedicating an hour to watch this informative webinar: **High Performance - HMI Done Right**. These suggestions are incredibly valuable. It's often observed that many HMIs appear as if they were crafted by someone with a lack of color sensibility or an overzealous desire to incorporate every imaginable hue across their screens.
Hey! It sounds like you're off to a great start with your HMI project. For tutorials, I recommend checking out the "PLC Professor" channel on YouTube; he has some solid content that's specifically geared towards Allen-Bradley systems. Additionally, the "Automation Direct" YouTube channel might offer some practical tips as well. For blogs, "Control Global" often features articles on HMI design that can provide some guidance. Lastly, don't underestimate the forums on the Allen-Bradley website; they can be a goldmine for real-world advice and troubleshooting. Good luck with your project!
Hey! That sounds like a great project you’re working on. For tutorials, I definitely recommend checking out YouTube channels like AutomationDirect and PLCGurus.NET; they have detailed videos on HMI design and programming specific to Allen-Bradley systems. Additionally, the Community forums on Rockwell Automation’s website can be super helpful as you’ll find discussions and resources from experienced users who might have faced similar challenges. Good luck with your design!
