ISA101, Human-Machine Interfaces

Purpose

The ISA101 Committee will establish standards, recommended practices, and/or technical reports pertaining to human-machine interfaces in manufacturing applications.

Scope

The standards, recommended practices, and/or technical reports developed by ISA101 will be directed to those responsible for designing, implementing, using, and/or managing human-machine interfaces in manufacturing applications. Unless noted otherwise in a specific ISA101 document, the documents will apply to all manufacturing industries.

The areas covered within ISA101’s work will include: menu hierarchies, screen navigation conventions, graphics and color conventions, dynamic elements, alarming conventions, security methods and electronic signature attributes, interfaces with background programming and historical databases, popup conventions, help screens and methods used to work with alarms, program object interfaces, and configuration interfaces to databases, servers, and networks.

ISA101 Organization

The co-chairs of ISA101 are Joe Bingham and Dr. Maurice WIlkins.

The draft standard is organized into the following sections:

HMI Lifecycle (Bridget Fitzpatrick and Ian Nimmo, Leaders)
General/ Human Factors/ Ergonomics (Beth Vail, Leader)
Display Types (Dave Lee, Leader)
User Interaction (Bridget Fitzpatrick, Leader)
Performance (Mark Nixon and Chris Stearns, Leaders)
Documentation & Training (Dawn Schweitzer, Leader)
Definitions (Joe Bingham, Leader)

ISA101 does much of its work via email and web meetings, but does hold face-to-face meetings.

If you are interested in joining ISA101 or would like additional information, please contact Linda Wolffe (919) 990-9257, lwolffe@isa.org.
