24、uman-machineinterfaces that enable organizations to be more efficient and safer,and users to be more satisfied about what they do. When the author was given his first design assignment for a newhuman-machine interface, he realized that in spite of the academictraining he had received in this area, h

25、e was still ill-equipped to pro-duce the required design. After several years of experience and count-less projects, as well as teaching numerous courses on the same topic,the author realized that it takes some key ingredients to produce gooddesign: A good understanding of how users comprehend a sys

26、tem and control it. In some cases, this understanding will even force the designer to let go of preconceived ideas about how operators work (the author had to, anyway). A wide knowledge of the appropriate design principles and rules. Those will be both generic (applicable across domains) and specifi

27、c (for a given domain, such as industrial process control). The design principles and rules are usually drawn from specific standards, guidelines and even textbooks. We do not intend to repeat all of those in this book, but rather to provide you with pointers to the appropriate sources of informatio

28、n. A strong understanding of engineering design in general and of the processes used for designing human-machine interfaces Fiset.book Page xi Friday, September 12, 2008 10:56 AMxii Prefacein particular. It is necessary to both understand how to do the interface design itself, and, sometimes just as

29、 importantly, to understand where and how the interface design will impact the overall design project.There are also unexpected benefits in understanding human-machineinterface design. As you will discover, most equipment or even piecesof information (e.g., documents and Web pages) has an interface.

30、Interestingly, the approach used to design those interfaces is the sameas the one described in this book; usually, the differences reside in thedetailed design rules, while the overall process and principles remainthe same. In other words, the material in this book will be useful evenoutside the rea

31、lm of industrial process control (in much the same wayas arithmetic is used anywhere calculations are required). You will hopefully also find that human-machine interface designoffers a unique occasion to positively affect human and organiza-tional performance, and this is often an exhilirating expe

32、rience.Finally, I hope that you will enjoy this material as much as I haveenjoyed writing about it.

33、re he acquired a fair bit of practical expe-rience on installation and troubleshooting, and explaining how thosesystems work. This is where he realized the importance of the inter-face between the users and the equipment. He then completed abachelor of engineering (industrial engineering) and a Mast

34、er ofApplied Sciences (industrial engineering) specializing in human fac-tors and artificial intelligence at cole Polytechnique de Montral.After graduating, he went to work for Atomic Energy of Canada(AECL) as a research scientist specializing in human-machine inter-faces, automated emergency operat

35、ing procedures and control rooms.Concurrently, he started a Ph.D., again at cole Polytechnique deMontral, where his dissertation dealt with the design of human-machine interfaces for monitoring and controlling complex systems.After leaving AECL, Dr. Fiset established Systmes Humains-MachinesInc. (“S

36、humac”), which specializes in the analysis, design and valida-tion of high-performance human-machine interfaces in the aero-space, nuclear, military, Web, industrial, banking and software fields.He also teaches (human factors, cognitive engineering, artificial intel-ligence) at the undergraduate and

37、 graduate levels since 1991. Overall,he has been involved with using and (sometimes!) understandingcomplex systems for nearly 30 years.Fiset.book Page xiii Friday, September 12, 2008 10:56 AMFiset.book Page xiv Friday, September 12, 2008 10:56 AMxvList of FiguresFigure 11 Growth of Bandwidth Offered

46、ectivemethodto configure, design, and validate human-machine interfaces (HMIs).Such systems include distributed control systems (DCSs); supervisorycontrol and data acquisition systems (SCADAs); and stand-aloneunits. Distributed Control Systems (DCSs) are typically real-time, fault-tolerant systems f

47、or continuous and complex batch process applications. DCSs were developed initially for continuous flow processes that required loop, analog, and limited discrete control. A DCS, while functionally integrated, consists of sub-systems that may be physically separate and remotely located from one anot

48、her. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) is typically a generic name for a computerized system capable of gathering and processing data and applying operational controls over long distances, such as is used with power transmission and distribution and pipeline systems. SCADA syst

49、ems are designed for unique communication challenges (delays, data integrity, etc.) resulting from the various media that must be used, such as phone lines, microwave, satellite, and so on. SCADA systems are usually shared, rather than dedicated.Fiset.book Page 1 Friday, September 12, 2008 10:56 AM2 Chapter 1Introduction Stand-alone Units are typically simple, embedded systems that perform pre-defined tasks, usually with very specific requirements.This book discusses the overall HMI design process; how that proc
