4 Control Panel Functions
All Glovebox functions are controlled from the touch screen (HMI – Human Machine
Interface). This section describes the touchscreen and all the functions associated with it. The
HMI is typically located on the side panel that has the large Antechamber attached. Custom
systems may have the HMI mounted in a different location.
The HMI communicates with the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) that is contained
within the PLC enclosure on the gas purification module.
4.1 The Main Control Screen
The main control screen
is the primary source of information for the system.
This screen provides real time display of all key Glovebox operating parameters.
