A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for industrial equipment which is operable to assume several operating states, and to achieve several user-selectable goals, each achievable from one or more operating states. The HMI is designed to be coupled with an equipment control unit of the industrial equipment. The equipment control unit is designed to determine a current operating state assumed by the industrial equipment based on received equipment operating data; in response to a goal selection, to cause the industrial equipment to achieve the selected goal; and to execute equipment-related functions including user-selectable functions, each of which is associated with one or more user-selectable goals and is executed by the equipment control unit in response to a function selection. The HMI comprises a display unit and a display control unit, which is coupled with the display unit and is couplable also with the equipment control unit to acquire therefrom data. |

1. Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for an industrial equipment, the industrial equipment operable to:
assume several operating states; and achieve several user-selectable goals, each achievable from one or more operating states; the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) designed to be coupled with an equipment control unit of the industrial equipment, the equipment control unit designed to: determine a current operating state assumed by the industrial equipment based on received equipment operating data; in response to a goal selection, cause said industrial equipment to achieve the selected goal; and execute equipment-related functions including user-selectable functions, each of which is associated with one or more user-selectable goals and is executed by the equipment control unit in response to a function selection; the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) comprising: a display unit; and a display control unit which is coupled with the display unit and is couplable also with the equipment control unit to acquire therefrom data indicative of the current operating state of the industrial equipment; the display control unit configured to: store a list of the user-selectable goals achievable by the industrial equipment, and, for each user-selectable goal,
a list of the operating states from which said user-selectable goal is achievable, anda list of the user-selectable functions associated with said user-selectable goal; display on the display unit the user-selectable goals which are achievable from the current operating state; and in response to a selection of a displayed goal, display on the display unit only user-selectable functions which are associated with the selected goal. |
