Development of the HMI Interface Based on the Workplace of the Operator of the Robotic Complex

Abstract

An important requirement for the quality control of technological equipment is the provision of information exchange of data between the human-operator system and the automated control system of this equipment through a human-machine interface (HMI). There are many recommendations for HMI design, which have some general principles of construction, but also the individual features of the equipment and the application conditions, for which the design is made, should be taken into account, and it is necessary to strictly adhere to the standards when developing the HMI visualization design. A classification of the basic principles of developing a human-machine interface is presented: the structural principle, the principle of simplicity, the principle of certainty, the principle of visibility, the principle of feedback, the principle of reuse. On the basis of these principles, a project of a human-machine interface of a robotic complex has been created and presented, a flowchart of the work and its practical implementation, made on the basis of an operator panel for industrial use, are given. This man-machine interface is a part of the workplace of the operator of the robotic complex, which provides the technological operation of processing the ends of the springs by the method of plasma cutting. Its composition and functional description of the elements are also presented. A comparative analysis of the HMI interface of the existing robotized complex and the proposed one, the results of which gave positive conclusions, was carried out.
