The main functionality on the HMI comprises:

fetching/releasing the barrels is completed automatically
o manual mode: all movements of the system as well as moving of the mini-jacks
are controlled by the operator
- monitoring the strokes and pressures of the cylinders of the units
- display of the measured COG
o of the individual units
o of the system as a whole
- configuring the oil circuits (“pools”).

o all safety measures can be switched off
o automatic levelling (“hysteresis” ) can be switched off
- technical stuff:
o assignment of the MAC addresses of the units
o display of digital input and output values
o calibration of the stroke measurement
