Operator HMI
The HMI is the operator-facing side. It runs programs, jogs the machine, probes, and shows live machine state, but it holds no control logic of its own. Like every other client, it connects to the Runtime over a live WebSocket link, so what the operator sees is exactly what the Runtime is executing (see the NEV Platform).
Key areas
Section titled “Key areas”- Position display: machine, work, and distance-to-go for all axes.
- Program: load, run, single-block, block-delete, dry-run, and block search.
- 3D view: live toolpath and a digital-twin machine visualization.
- Modes: Auto, MDI, Manual (jog), Probe, Offset, and Params.
Designed against the same project
Section titled “Designed against the same project”HMI screens are built in the IDE’s HMI designer and bound directly to the project’s variables, the same GVLs the PLC drives. There is no separate tag database to keep in sync: the screen, the logic, and the running machine all refer to the same definitions.
