A human machine interface (HMI) is a user interface that connects a person to a machine. Technically speaking, HMI can be applied to any screen that allows users to interact with the device. It is most commonly used in industrial processes. An HMI provides a visual overview of the status of a system and its operation and control. Its screen can be programmed to display important information. HMI c...
This is the thermocouple mux board for the Low Energy PIU. This board contains the reed relays which can switch up to 16 thermocouple inputs to the LEPIU CCFA. The LEPIU can linearize type J, K, T, S, E, and R thermocouples. The relays on this mux board have a finite lifetime. As the relays approach their lifetime limit of cycles, the mux boards become less reliable. WPC has put a lot of effort in...
