The intelligent human-machine interface (HMI) has been developed to enhance the safety and availability of a nuclear power plant by improving operational reliability The key elements of the HMI are the large display panels which present synopsis of the plant status and the compact, digital work stations for the primary operator control and monitoring functions. The work station consists of four consoles such as a dynamic alarm console (DAC), a system information console (SIC), a computerized operating-procedure console (COC), and a safety related information console (SRIC). The DAC provides clean alarm pictures, in which information overlapping is excluded and alarm impacts are discriminated, for quick situation awareness. The SIC covers a normal operation by offering all necessary plant information and control functions. In addition, it is closely linked with the DAC and the COC to automatically display related system information under the request of these consoles. The COC aids the operator with proper emergency operation guidelines so as to shutdown the plant safely, and it also reduces his physical/mental burden by automating the operating procedures. The SRIC continuously displays safety related information to allow the operator to assess the plant status focusing on plant safety. The proposed HMI has been validated and demonstrated with on-line data obtained from the full-scope simulator for Yonggwang Units 1,2.

The electrical muscle stimulator (EMS) based human machine interface (HMI) free to mechanical constraint and muscle fatigue problems are proposed for force feedback in a virtual reality. The device was designed to provide force feedback up to 4.8 N and 2.6 N each to the thumb and forefingers. The main objective of the HMI is to make unnecessary mechanical structures to attach on the hand or fingers. It employs custom EMSs and an interface arranged in the forearm. In this work, major muscle groups such as extensor pollicis brevis (EPB), extensor indicis proprius (EIP), flexor pollicis longus (FPL) and flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) are selected for efficient force feedback and controlled individually. For this, a human muscular-skeletal analysis was performed and verified. The validity of the proposed multi-channel EMS based HMI was evaluated thorough various experiments with ten human subjects, interacting with a virtual environment.

텔레매틱스 정보단말기는 가독성, 시인성, 주행 안전성의 사용성과 HMI(Human Machine Interface)를 고려하여 설계해야 한다. 텔레매틱스 정보단말기 GUI을 구성하는 요소로 Menu Type, Menu Structure, Font Size 등이 있다. 그러나 한글이라는 지역적 특성에 대한 연구가 미흡한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 국내 운전자를 대상으로 텔레매틱스 정보단말기 GUI Factor에 대해 국내의 환경에 맞는 설계를 도출하였다. 피험자는 총 30명(남자 24명과 여자6명)을 대상으로 가상 주행 시스템을 이용한 시뮬레이션 환경에 Task를 수행하도록 하여 실험을 하였다. 분석은 ANOVA, 다원배치법, T-test, Font 일반식 대입을 통해 이루어졌다. Menu Type은 가로세로 2*3 배열의 형태와 버튼간 간격을 주행안전성 및 시인성에서 고려하여 설계해야 한다. Menu Structure는 3Depth가 3Frame 보다 주행안전성 및 시인성이 5%유의수준에서 더 우수하다고 나타났다. 운전자 안구 거리에 따른 Font Size를 도출하는 일반식은 어두운 글자인 경우 0.0069radian * d = Font Size 가 되고, 밝은 글자인 경우 0.0075radian * d = Font Size 가 된다. 위와 같이 본 연구는 GUI 세가지 항목에 대하여 국내 운전자의 사용성과 텔레매틱스 정보단말기 간의 인터페이스를 고려하여 기존의 시스템에 대하여 에러를 줄이고, 수행능력을 향상 시켜 주었다.

The wastewater reclamation and reusing system has been rising as an alternative of water resource exhaustion that the whole world is experiencing. In order to be able to bring about improvement of the existing wastewater reclamation and reusing system, this research has developed of Conversion-Human Machine Interaction (C-HMI) based real-time control and monitoring system such as a sensor module and gate module, web monitoring system. This system was communication almost-error-free in various environment and situation. As a result, we have achieved our goal that has to doing work correctly as a sensor and gateway module that communication error is less than 0.2% throughout the embodied system and add that it can be easily controled and configured as an interface equipment to a complex sensor of water quality. According to this, the construction of a database capable of analyzing and assessing collection, storage and various elements of reliable water quality and flow rate data can be possible.

With the recent development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, smartization technology is expanding to the fields of agriculture, livestock, and fisheries, and smartization is in progress. In this smart technology, the most important thing is how to measure the data in the field and transmit it to the management system. Currently, the sensors used in the construction of smart farms and other livestock houses and farms are measuring and monitoring smart farms and other environmental conditions through various sensors such as temperature, humidity, CO gas, CO2, hydrogen, and O2. The communication method between these sensors and the HMI (Human Machine Interface) module that controls and manages the smart farm is still mainly using the RS-485-based modbus-RTU method. In this paper, we intend to design the MCU module for HMI so that various sensor modules can be connected to manage data through the RS-485-based Modbus method so that the sensor data required for smart farm construction can be managed by the HMI module.

차량 내에 도입되는 텔레매틱스 시스템을 설계할 때에는 차량의 특성이 반영되어야 한다. 차량 내의 사용자 인터페이스, 즉 HMI(Human-Machine Interface)는 외관에서 비롯되는 상업성 뿐 아니라 안전과 차량 기능에 있어서 더욱 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 차량 탑승자 중 특히 운전자를 위한 차량 환경을 고려하여 HMI 시스템을 설계하기 위한 방안을 제시한다. HMI 아키텍처는 OSG-i 프레임워크와 같은 국제 표준을 따른다.

분산제어시스템은 지리적으로 분산되어 있는 제어장치들을 제어시스템과 HMI(Human Machine Interface) 소프트웨어를 통하여 감시제어 한다. 사용자는 HMI 소프트웨어를 사용해 전체 시스템을 제어한다. HMI 소프트웨어는 통신, 저장 화면 갱신, 데이터 분석 등 모든 작업을 수행한다. 분산제어시스템의 특성상 항상 동작 상태에 있어야 하기 때문에 HMI 소프트웨어의 부담은 고장 가능성을 증가시킨다. HMI 소프트웨어의 작업은 실시간 특성을 기준으로 나눌 수 있다. 작업은 실시간 데이터를 이용하는 감시와 레포트(report)와 데이터 분석을 위하여 저장된 데이터를 이용하는 작업으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문이 제안한 분산제어시스템에서는 제어시스템(PCS)과 제어감시 소프트웨어(HIIS)가 작업의 특성에 따라 동적(dynamic)으로 연결된다. HIIS는 동적연결을 통하여 디스크 쓰기 동작을 줄이고 제어시스템으로부터의 데이터 전송을 감소시킨다. 결과적으로 제어시스템과 HMI 소프트웨어의 작업량을 줄임으로서 분산제어시스템의 성능향상과 유효성을 증가시킨다. 본 논문에서는 HMI 소프트웨어의 작업(task) 특성을 고려한 분산 제어시스템 아키텍처를 제안하고 실험을 통하여 아키텍처 성능을 평가하였다.

Because the existing Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for the conventional substation cannot dynamically indicate the configuration information of the Substation Automation System (SAS). In this paper, an intelligent station HMI is proposed for IEC 61850 based substation. The program of the proposed HMI not only can automatically generate the layout of single line diagram, but can also indicate the communication network and functions of IEDs by reading SCL files. It greatly helps monitor the operation status, communication network and each IED dynamically, such as failure detection in SAS. Furthermore, this paper presents the possibility of developing new software for SAS with the full use of IEC 61850-6. Once the software is complete, there is no need to change it when the substation is upgraded or when it is migrated to other IEC 61850 based substations, which is a cost-effective solution.
