IKNAL HMI · An IKNAL SCADA edition

The operator screen, next to the machine.

IKNAL HMI is the IKNAL SCADA edition for one machine, process or panel. It runs on a panel PC next to the equipment and shows alarms and trends where the work happens. When your operation grows, your screens come with you into the full SCADA.

01Benefits

What the operator needs in front of the equipment.

01

Everything on the panel

Values, alarms and trends full screen, next to the machine. Only an administrator can leave kiosk mode.

02

Connect your equipment directly

It reads your equipment with the same protocols as IKNAL Gateway, or takes the values from an IKNAL Gateway or any OPC UA server.

03

Clear displays

Neutral backgrounds, colour kept for alarms and the quality of every value visible without relying on colour.

04

Grow without redesigning

The same displays open in IKNAL SCADA. Moving to the full SCADA is a licence change, with no redesign and no migration.

02Capabilities

Made for the shift, where the shift happens.

  • Kiosk mode on the panel PC, with exit protected by an administrator PIN.
  • Local ISA-18.2 alarms with acknowledgement and shelving with a reason.
  • Short-term local history, with trends to review the shift.
  • Reads your equipment directly, or from IKNAL Gateway and OPC UA servers.
  • ISA-101 displays, the same as IKNAL SCADA.

03Editions

One machine or the whole plant?

Choose by the scope of your operation. If you start with IKNAL HMI, your displays come with you into the SCADA.

05Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about IKNAL HMI.

What is IKNAL HMI?

IKNAL HMI is the IKNAL SCADA edition for one machine, process or panel. It runs on a panel PC next to the equipment, in kiosk mode, and shows values, alarms and trends where the work happens.

How is it different from IKNAL SCADA?

IKNAL HMI covers one machine or panel, with local history and alarms on the panel. IKNAL SCADA covers the whole plant, with a central server, operator stations, users with roles and long-term history.

How does it get data from my equipment?

It reads your equipment directly with IKNAL Gateway's protocols, or takes the values from an IKNAL Gateway or from any OPC UA server.

Which operating systems does it run on?

Windows, macOS and Linux, on a panel PC next to the equipment.

Can I move to IKNAL SCADA later?

Yes. The same screens open in IKNAL SCADA: moving to the full SCADA is a licence change, with no redesign and no migration.
