For example, a symbol of a pump can show the operator that the pump is running, and a flow meter symbol can show how much fluid it is pumping through the pipe. The operator can switch the pump off from the mimic by a mouse click or screen touch. The HMI will show the flow rate of the fluid in the pipe decrease in real time.
Human machine system engineering is different from the more general and well known fields like human–computer interaction and sociotechnical engineering in that it focuses on complex, dynamic control systems that often are partially automated (such as flying an airplane). It also studies human problem-solving in naturalistic settings or in ...
A remote terminal unit (RTU) is a microprocessor-controlled electronic device that interfaces objects in the physical world to a distributed control system or SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system by transmitting telemetry data to a master system, and by using messages from the master supervisory system to control connected objects.

An example of an adjustable but otherwise fixed sequence is a timer on a lawn sprinkler. States refer to the various conditions that can occur in a use or sequence scenario of the system. An example is an elevator, which uses logic based on the system state to perform certain actions in response to its state and operator input.
Because software, unlike a major civil engineering construction project, is often easy and cheap to change after it has been constructed, a piece of custom software that fails to deliver on its objectives may sometimes be modified over time in such a way that it later succeeds—and/or business processes or end-user mindsets may change to accommodate the software.
The project came at a hefty human and financial cost: around 5,600 people were estimated to have died during US construction, many of whom were construction workers from the West Indies, and ...
By Raphael Satter and AJ Vicens-Hackers have compromised several different companies' Chrome browser extensions in a series of intrusions dating back to mid-December, according to one of the ...
In 1985, with funding from the New York City Department of Education, HMI established the Harvey Milk High School, the first high school in the United States that specifically catered to LGBT students. [3] HMI directly managed the school until 2002/3, when it became a fully accredited public school managed by the New York Department of Education.
