Ethernet
Ethernet is a fixed-cable data network technology for local area networks (LANs). Ethernet
enables data transfer in the form of data frames between all devices that are connected in a
local area network, for example, computers, printers.
HMI device
An HMI device is a device used for the operation and monitoring of machines and plants.
The statuses of the machine or plant are indicated by means of graphic elements or by
indicator lamps on the HMI device. The operator controls of the HMI device allow the
operator to interact with the processes of the machine or plant.
Plant
General term referring to machines, processing centers, systems, plants and processes
which are operated and monitored on an HMI device.
PLC
A PLC is a general term for devices and systems with which the HMI device communicates,
for example, SIMATIC S7.
Process visualization
Visualization of technical processes by means of text and graphic elements. Configured
plant screens allow operator intervention in active plant processes by means of the input and
output data.
PROFINET
PROFINET is a standard for an industrial Ethernet in automation systems.
Project
Result of a configuration using a configuration software. The project normally contains
several screens with embedded system-specific objects, basic settings and alarms. The
project is transferred to an HMI device and monitored and operated with the HMI device.
Protection class
The protection class is used in electrical engineering to classify and identify electrical
equipment in relation to existing safety measures designed to prevent electric shock. There
are four protection classes for electrical equipment.
