Features: This book introduces the working principles and application technologies of Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) and touchscreens. Through numerous examples, it provides an in-depth yet accessible explanation of configuring and simulating Siemen's HMIs using the configuration software WinCC Flexible. This includes configuration methods for variables, screens, animations, alarms, user management, data logging, trend charts, recipes, reports, runtime scripts, and Ethernet communication, as well as the use of the text display TD200. The book also presents engineering examples of applying HMIs in control systems and methods for offline and online simulation of HMI operation using WinCC Flexible. Additionally, it explains how to simulate the operation of HMIs and S7-300/400 control systems using WinCC Flexible and STEP 7. The accompanying CD-ROM provides extensive user manuals for Siemens HMI products and configuration software, along with example programs written by the author to accompany the textbook. Readers can use these programs to conduct simulation experiments on their computers, enabling them to quickly master HMI configuration techniques. Each chapter of the book is accompanied by review questions, and the appendix includes a laboratory manual. This book can serve as a textbook for universities and colleges, particularly for electrical engineering, mechatronics, and training programs, and can also be referenced by engineering professionals.
