HMI (Human Machine Interface) is a software component used for operating and
programming machine tools. The HMI software is available in two variants:
● As the embedded variant (HMI-Embedded, ShopMill HMI, ShopTurn HMI) integrated in
the NCU software
● As HMI-Advanced; runs on PCU 50.3
Connection of embedded HMI
For the embedded HMI, the HMI software is used on the NCU 7x0. A thin client (TCU)
performs the NCU - operator panel communication.
