What is Data Logging? Data logging refers to the automatic process of collecting, storing, and managing data over time. In the context of HMI systems, data logging captures real-time values from sensors, machines, or control systems and records them for future analysis. Whether it’s tracking temperature fluctuations in a cold storage warehouse or monitoring machine […]
What is a Touchscreen unresponsive? An unresponsive touchscreen occurs when the display does not receive a signal from the finger or stylus, preventing the user from navigating menus, receiving alerts, or entering data. This issue can arise from various hardware or software errors and must be resolved promptly to prevent operational bottlenecks. In this article, […]
What is the System diagnostics? In today’s industrial automation landscape, system diagnostics refers to the process of monitoring, analyzing, and troubleshooting the health and performance of equipment, software, and network infrastructure. These diagnostics help ensure that automated systems operate reliably, efficiently, and safely by identifying issues before they lead to downtime or failure. Whether you […]
In the rapidly evolving industrial automation landscape, the ability to facilitate seamless communication between devices is essential. Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems rely heavily on robust communication protocols to provide real-time monitoring, control, and diagnostics. Among the most widely used industrial protocols, today are Modbus, Ethernet, and Profibus. Each of these protocols has its strengths, […]
In automation systems, Communication Timeout is a common communication error that can cause the HMI to lose connection with the PLC or other control devices. If not detected and handled promptly, this error will cause interruptions in the production line, data loss and costly maintenance. The following article will help you understand what Communication Timeout […]
HMI (Human Machine Interface) not only simply displays information but also helps operators quickly understand complex data thanks to Data Visualization. Data visualization helps turn dry numbers into vivid charts and dashboards, supporting real-time monitoring, detecting abnormalities and making timely decisions. So what is Data Visualization in HMI, what are the benefits and what should […]
One of the key factors that makes HMI convenient and intuitive is Page Navigation — a feature that allows operators to move flexibly between display screens, monitor and control the entire process easily. So what is Page Navigation, why is it important and what should be noted when designing? Let’s find out with XINJE in […]
What is the SCADA Integration? In the rapidly evolving world of industrial automation, SCADA integration has become the cornerstone of smart manufacturing and efficient operations. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a control system architecture that uses computers, network data communications, and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to monitor and control industrial processes. When SCADA […]
What is the I/O Monitoring? I/O Monitoring, short for Input/Output Monitoring, is the process of observing and tracking the real-time status of signals exchanged between field devices and the control system, typically through an HMI connected to a PLC. In automation systems, input signals might come from sensors, switches, or buttons, while output signals control […]
What is the Ethernet/IP HMI? Ethernet/IP (Industrial Ethernet Protocol) is an application layer protocol built on standard Ethernet technologies and is widely used in manufacturing, process control, and robotics systems. When integrated into an HMI, it allows operators to communicate with PLCs and other devices using a reliable, fast, and standardized communication channel. But what […]
