We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Human Machine Interfaces",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Control panel design made easy online from
Rittal, which we summarised at the time by saying "Online design tool enables configuration of HMI prototypes using a simple selection process".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Motion and control partnership announced. from
Parker Hannifin - SSD: "Parkem MotionControl will be promoting Parker SSD Drives' extensive range of ac, dc and servo drives and extending its technical and customer support for variable speed motor control applications".
In December 2006, we covered the news from Pilz Safe Automation Australia
concerning its Programmable Safety System
- take a look at Scientists protected from nuclear radiations
which says: "Nuclear scientists choose PSS programmable safety system".
Take a look also at the news release from Pilz Automation Technology, Programmable safety systems protect nuclear staff,
as well as Highest safety standard for nuclear reactor. from Pilz Safe Automation Australia,
and Fanless touch panel survives industrial tasks from Axiomtek.
