Chapter 1 PowerFlex 7000 Drive Overview
Operator Interface The human-machine interface (HMI) board is an HIM-enabling device for the
PowerFlex 7000 drive. The board lets you acquire all the necessary executable
tools, documentation, and reports required to commission, troubleshoot, and
maintain the drive.
Via the HMI board, the user can choose the style and size of the desired
Windows®-based operator terminal to interact with the drive (for example,
PanelView™ Plus 6 Windows CE terminal, eHIM Windows 10 terminal, laptop,
or desktop computer). The HMI board removes past issues with compatibility
between the drive and configuration tools, as all the necessary tools are
acquired from the drive.
The HMI board is well suited for applications that require remote placement of
the operator terminal and remote maintenance.
