What you will learn

Understand the basics of a Human Machine Interface

Become familiar with key software applications

Understand the basics of an HMI Development Application

Create an HMI Application

Add Data Points to an HMI Application

Add and Configure Graphical Objects to an HMI Application

Animate Graphical Objects in an HMI Application

Monitoring Communication between the HMI App and Modbus Slave

Why take this course?

First and foremost, this course is ultra-practical.

It walks you through the building of a Basic Human Machine Interface (HMI) application using software tools that you can download and use for free. The videos will walk you through the building of a live HMI Application that communicates with a Modbus slave simulator.

What makes this course very effective is that you can do everything that is shown in the course without purchasing any additional software tools. Once you do exactly what is instructed in the videos, at the end you will have a very firm grasp of HMI application development.

Furthermore, the HMI Development application used is a real product used in the industry and priced at only Euro 49.00. So if you are involved in the HMI Application development in your work or hobby areas, you can purchase the software to unleash it's full power and use it in your own projects.

The knowledge that you will gain here is not some set of abstract concepts floating around in space, but real skills that can be applied immediately and relevantly to the process automation industry.

The software resource is very helpful since I was using Simple Modbus Master and Client Prior to this. It explains it quite well for someone who is doing some work using MODBUS its very clear.

Court de base. Je le comparerais à un cours visant à raccorder un système de son complexe en se concentrant uniquement à comment brancher les appareils électriques au mur...

El curso está muy bien, es corto y conciso. Las explicaciones son buenas y se trata el tema del curso completamente. No hay rellenos que hacen el curso más largo sin aportar nada. Para mi, el curso está muy bien.

I was a big help to me to understand more about the Modbus protocol and how the addresses works in the world of PLC.

The tutor "slaughtered" the course. The course is very practical and direct to the point, However, I would want to see a part 2 of this or a review that would accommodate more examples on plc

"How to Build a Basic HMI and Connect it to a Modbus Slave" is an excellent choice for someone who has a little experience with either HMI or PLC programming, or both. The course marries fundamental ideas of the two systems to demonstrate a practical, working application that could actually be used in the real world. Emile is careful to explain not only how to accomplish the lessons, but he's also careful to explain why things are done a certain way. I recommend this course for anyone who wishes to get a better understanding of how to connect a HMI to a PLC.

Excellent course. The presenter is very pleasant to listen to. The pace is good and the material is broken up into appropriate length videos. He has selected good software that you can download for free (trial version at-least) so you can work through the material yourself.

Excellent course. It delivered everything I was expecting to learn in a clean and orderly fashion. Thank you Mr. Ackbarali for another outstanding lesson.

Very good training. I Worked with Simatic Winc and i was suprised to see the features of Winlog. Maybe could be useful to insert in the training only a reminder on "programming" the plc using its embedded software.

........Excellent .....described to the point, course was short and simple. i am a hobbyist it was my first course related to HMI, i have wasted lot of time searching about SCADA and Modbus on the net.....but did not get a link like this .....Thanks to .....Ackbarali

The course is great and I am learning. If you want to make good use of the demo software install it when you are ready to do the course and then try to do the entire course in 14 days. The course is great. The software great.

This course should be called: "How to use WinLog Lite software" You will not learn "How to build an HMI"; what you'll learn is how to use a very limited software package. Emile Ackbarali describes himself as a software developer, but no software is developed in this course.
