In life, we often come into contact with touch screens, and many people will regard the human-machine interface as a touch screen, in a strict sense, there is a fundamental difference between the two.

                               The difference between human-machine interface and touch screen

"Touch screen" is only the hardware part that may be used in human-machine interface products, and is an input device installed at the front end of the display screen instead of the mouse and keyboard. A human-machine interface product is a human-computer interaction device that includes hardware and software. In the industry, people often refer to human-machine interface products with contact input function as "touch screen", but this is unscientific. Touch screen is people's popular name for "human-machine interface with contact function"! A real touch screen is just "a piece of clear glass that can be touched and operated by hand"! Can be used in place of a mouse. Modify the knowledge of human-machine interface

1. The industry of human-machine interface products: connect programmable manipulators (PLC), frequency converters, DC governors, appearances and other industrial control equipment, use the display screen to display, through the input unit (such as contact screen, keyboard, mouse, etc.) to write operation parameters or input operation commands, to realize the interaction of human and machine information digital equipment, composed of hardware and software. HMI is the abbreviation of Human-Machine Interface.

2. Composition and operating principle of human-machine interface (HMI) products

The human-machine interface product is composed of two parts: hardware and software, and the hardware part includes a processor, a display unit, an input unit, a communication interface, a data storage unit, etc., during which the function of the processor determines the function of the HMI product and is the core unit of the HMI. Depending on the product level of the HMI, the processor can be selected as an 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit processor. HMI software is generally divided into two parts, namely the system software running in the HMI hardware and the screen configuration software running under the PC Windows operating system (such as JB - HMI screen configuration software). Users must first use the HMI's screen configuration software to create "engineering files", and then download the prepared "engineering files" to the HMI's processor through the serial communication port of the PC and HMI products.
