Abstract: A user interface display device for displaying information associated with an industrial automation system may have a display that has a front face and one or more outer edges, a cover lens optically bonded to the front face of the display with an optical-grade adhesive, and a bezel that has a frame. The frame is disposed about the display, and the bezel defines a gap between the frame and the one or more outer edges of the display. The display device may also have a quantity of gap-filling adhesive disposed at one or more locations within the gap between the one or more outer edges of the display and the frame of the bezel. The quantity of gap-filling adhesive may couple the display to the bezel.

Abstract: A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) system comprises a machine interface, a processing system, and a user interface. The machine interface receives operational data associated with an operation of a machine. The processing system processes the operational data associated with the operation of the machine to determine a trend in the operational data. The user interface displays a graphical representation of the trend, and receives a first user input and a second user input simultaneously on a surface of the user interface. The processing system processes the first user input and the second user input to determine a change in the trend. The user interface displays a graphical representation of the change in the trend.

Abstract: A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) system comprises a user interface and a processing system. The user interface displays a plurality of machine systems in an automation environment having a plurality of automation information, displays an information menu indicating a plurality of information types associated with the plurality of machine systems, receives a first touch on a surface of the user interface selecting an information type from the plurality of information types, and, while receiving the first touch, receives a second touch on the surface of the user interface selecting a machine system from the plurality of machine systems. The processing system processes the first touch and the second touch to select from the plurality of automation information an automation information associated with the selected information type and the selected machine system. The user interface displays the selected automation information.

Abstract: A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) system comprises a user interface, a processing system, and a machine interface. The user interface displays a multi-state enable option graphic selectable by a first touch from a user, that, when the first touch is maintained, enables a multi-state mode of a state option graphic having a plurality of modes comprising a single-state mode and the multi-state mode, displays the state option graphic selectable by a second touch from the user, and receives the second touch from the user selecting the state option graphic. If the state option graphic is in the multi-state mode when selected, the processing system processes the second touch to select a state option from a plurality of state options corresponding to a plurality of operation states of a machine.

Abstract: A mounting assembly is provided for fastening an HMI housing onto a panel. The housing includes a slot that is sloped with respect to the panel. A clamp is provided having an outwardly extending pin and connected flange that is inserted in the slot. The clamp is translated along the slot until engaging the panel wall, at which point the clamp is rotated in the slot to lock the clamp in position.
