Overview
Adaptive Computing in Human Machine Interface (HMI)
HMIs serve as the hub of information to and from users whether stationed on a factory floor, remote SCADA system, as part of handheld and wearable equipment, or integrated into any number or type of assets controlled by operators. Modern HMIs offer the capability to blend local and cloud data to provide clear insights into the process or task at hand, but with the rise of edge computing, there is a growing need for HMIs to evolve beyond a display and I/O tool toward supporting intelligent and interactive analysis of the data presented to it.
An AMD-based solution offers a long list of benefits for HMIs:
- Platform scalability from cost-constrained industrial displays to feature-rich and customized HMIs without compromise on IEC 62443 security, IEC 61508 safety, extended lifecycle, reliability over harsh environments, small power and physical footprint, or compatibility with enterprise-wide embedded software architectures
- AMD Adaptive SoCs support an extensive catalog of standard peripherals and Industrial Ethernet standards as well as OPC UA and DDS over traditional Ethernet or TSN
- All AMD devices offer ample flexible I/O with the capability to build interfaces for any sort of non-standard or proprietary requirements
- Displays (LCD, TFT, others) can be driven via a nominal single-channel controller scaling to a complex chain of graphics and video processing involving built-in accelerators, GPUs, H.264/265 codecs outputting multiple streams of graphics overlaid on high-resolution video
- PYNQ™ Framework for embedded analytics and machine learning with integrated web server
