The thesis describes the design of human-machine interface application in a way that can be seen in industry every day. Two different designs of application are introduced with their advantages and disadvantages.
Application is made for a laboratory modular production system of 5 stations, which are working independently and are communicating with each other over PROFINET network. Each station includes one PLC (SIEMENS S7-1200), which supports web server hosting. Furthermore, a KTP900 Basic panel is added in hardware configuration, and it is communicating with other PLCs over PROFINET network.
Human-machine interface application is made through KTP900 Basic panel and through webserver of each PLC. The panel application is made in »TIA Portal V13« environment. This application is presenting states of all controllers in the system. On web server of each controller runs an application written in HTML and JavaScript languages. Applications can be accessed via web browser with corresponding IP addresses. Each of these applications is only showing states of individual controller.
This thesis roughly presents system operations. It also describes hardware and software that are used and explains the making of application and its operations.
