The main purpose of this thesis is to design a computerized Human Machine Interface for the Festo MPS stations. The graphical user interface will portray the statuses of each station in detail. Users will also be able to control the stations remotely. Two approaches will be discussed in this thesis. A microcontroller coupled with opto-isolators board will act as an external controller from PC to the PLC. The other approach is by using a proprietary application, WinCC, to access the Siemens PLC directly through the serial port.

DEDICATION

I dedicate this thesis to those who wish to study HMI. May this thesis would give them insights in designing an HMI system.
