PLC HMI SCADA Automation in Doha | Qatar
PLCs, which stand for Programmable Logic Controllers, are historical technologies used for controlling machinery in different industries. While, from another perspective, HMIs which stand for Human Machine Interfaces, are more contemporary technologies that specialize in the control of the interaction between humans and machines.
An HMI, is created in a way that is meant to be simple to use, with a graphical interface that can be clicked on with either a mouse or a touchscreen. This way, people who are not very knowledgeable in programming can control machines using an HMI and SCADA more easily. It’s similar to the experience of going on a computer that has pictures and buttons as opposed to highly complex code.
Both PLCs and HMIs greatly contribute to the field of industrial automation and have some slight differences. Primarily, PLCs concern themselves with the control of operational equipment, whereas HMIs are meant to assist in the control of the interactions between humans and machines. These differences can be seen in the level of programming sophistication, the components of hardware and the respective interfaces of the users.
In the industrial automation environment, the knowledge of the functions and characteristics of PLCs as compared to HMIs is crucial. ServeGas is a reputable provider in Doha Qatar with the most PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems which enable to control and monitor machinery for optimal functionality to assist other businesses.
