| Summary: | In ITB’s Mechatronics course, mechanical engineering students are introduced to the
fundamentals of microcontrollers, PLCs, and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), where
there is practical work in the laboratory. However, the industrial application of HMI is not
covered in the practicum session, and students attending this course do not have visual
experience or interactions with HMI. Thus, this undergraduate thesis aims to develop a
simple simulation of an HMI in the industry, which could function as an additional practicum
module for the Mechatronics course.
The developed HMI simulator is based on an actual HMI used in a geothermal power
plant that operates in a steady state condition. The simulator is built using LabVIEW® 2021
software developed by the National Instrument.
The HMI simulator has been developed successfully and tested in conjunction with
students. Furthermore, it can be operated offline, allowing students to execute the program
independently. Therefore, it is suitable to be part of a practicum module in the Mechatronics
course, to introduce the application of HMIs in the industry.
