Typical applications
What a HMI is
An HMI, or human-machine interface, is a touchscreen panel or display that lets operators monitor and control a machine. It communicates with PLCs, drives and controllers over Ethernet or serial links, showing status, alarms, trends and recipes, and sending operator commands. Screens are designed in configuration software with graphics, tags and scripts. Industrial HMIs are built for panel mounting, with front sealing typically to IP65 or higher, and come in a range of screen sizes.
When engineers choose a HMI
Choose an HMI when a machine needs a clear operator interface for settings, alarms, diagnostics and recipes beyond buttons and lamps. It improves usability and reduces panel wiring. The trade-offs are cost, configuration effort and cybersecurity for networked panels. For very simple machines, push buttons and indicator lamps may be enough; for complex plants with many machines, a PC-based SCADA system may be better.
How to specify the Kinco GREEN (G2 / GL2 / GH / GT / GW)
Send these with your enquiry and an engineer can confirm the right GREEN (G2 / GL2 / GH / GT / GW) variant:
- Screen size and resolution
- Touch type and environment
- Communication protocols and PLC drivers
- Front panel IP rating
- Remote access and data logging
- Supply voltage
- Configuration software
Common mistakes to avoid
- Choosing a panel without drivers for the PLC
- Ignoring visibility in bright light
- Leaving out user access levels and passwords
- Not securing remote access
Kinco GREEN (G2 / GL2 / GH / GT / GW): frequently asked questions
Can you help replace Kinco GREEN (G2 / GL2 / GH / GT / GW) or source the original?

Connected-manufacturing HMI family: G2 high-end quad-core panels to 15.6" and up to 2K, GL2 cost-effective with Wi-Fi/4G, plus GH and IoT GT/GW types. It is available through our supply network, and our engineers can confirm the right variant for your application.
Who makes the Kinco GREEN (G2 / GL2 / GH / GT / GW)?
The Kinco GREEN (G2 / GL2 / GH / GT / GW) is made by Kinco (Kinco Automation) available through our supply network. Send us your requirement for pricing, lead time, datasheets and CAD.
Is there an alternative to the Kinco GREEN (G2 / GL2 / GH / GT / GW)?
We can assess suitable replacement options. Our engineers can review the original model and propose options for your load, speed and environment. An engineer confirms the fit against your application before recommending anything.
What does an HMI do?
An HMI displays machine status, alarms and data, and lets operators enter settings and commands. It connects to PLCs and drives over a network. It replaces many push buttons and indicators with configurable screens, and often adds recipe handling, trending and remote access.
What IP rating should an HMI have?
Panel-mounted HMIs typically have IP65 or higher front protection to resist dust and water jets, while the rear is protected inside the enclosure. In washdown areas, higher ratings or stainless bezels may be required. Check the rating applies when correctly mounted with its gasket.
