Organizing HMIs

When you create an HMI, place all the controls comprising the HMI in a single subsystem that is
separate from the subsystem containing the devices and functional blocks it represents. If you have
multiple subsystems that each have HMIs, establish a naming convention to correlate each HMI with
the subsystem it monitor and controls. This makes it easier for you to use, modify, and maintain the
network as you add more HMIs and subsystems to the network. For example, a reactor network could
contain multiple reactor subsystems that each have their own HMIs. You would place the reactor
subsystems in one subsystem, and the HMI subsystems in another. The following figure demonstrates
how you can organize the reactor network using this naming convention.
