What is a HMI?

HMI stands for Human Machine Interface and is quite simply a way for humans to connect with machines. HMI’s remove the need for dials and switches to control and monitor machines and replaces them with simple to use software. Many of the modern HMI’s are touch screen which further simplifies their use removing the need for proficient keyboard skills and reducing the possibility of mistakes.
You have probably used HMIs in your everyday life without even noticing such as interacting with smart phones, shop displays and cash machines.

What is CANopen?

CAN (Control Area Network) is a communication protocol that allows devices to monitor, communicate and send information to each other in embedded automated systems.
It is commonly used in automated applications and is heavily used in large industrial settings such as automotive factories to enable a large number of robotic and automatic parts to work in harmony without the need to send information back to a central computer at each exchange.
CANopen is a standard that sets the specifications and requirements that have to be met to be called a CANopen device and is designed to allow off the shelf products to fit and work together in one CAN network.
