Allen Bradley HMI

Allen-Bradley Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), developed by Rockwell Automation, are user-friendly devices designed to provide real-time interaction between operators and industrial automation systems. These interfaces typically come in the form of touchscreens or display panels that allow users to monitor machine performance, input commands, and visualize data from programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The most widely used Allen-Bradley HMI series is the PanelView family, which includes models like the PanelView Plus and PanelView 5000. These HMIs support communication with Allen-Bradley PLCs through Ethernet/IP and other industrial protocols, enabling seamless integration within Rockwell’s automation ecosystem. Allen-Bradley HMIs are programmed using software such as FactoryTalk View, which provides tools for creating graphical interfaces, alarms, trends, and control logic. They are built for durability in industrial environments and offer various screen sizes, resolutions, and mounting options to suit diverse applications. Their intuitive design and robust functionality make them essential components for improving operational efficiency, reducing downtime, and enhancing process control in manufacturing and automation systems.
