INVERTECH Individual Human Machine Interface 4 Weeks Course

18

human machine interface Brief To design the interface of a product and enhance the interaction of the user with the interface.

Description II have designed the interface of the Inverter thereby making it more user friendly.The inverter has been made more interactive with new added features which enhances the human machine interface.

Key Learnings • Understanding of how humans interact with a machine.

• Making the product visually ergonomic.

CONCEPT

PROBLEM AREAS »» The inverter does not inform the user about the amount of battery backup i.e. the no. of hours the inverter will be able to run for. »» The amount of load on the inverter is not known to the user.The user does not get to know the wattage being consumed by the appliances and also the maximum output which the inverter can give. »» Most of the inverters do not alarm you when there is an overload on the inverters. »» The power button is not visible in complete darkness.When the light goes the power button is not,hence it becomes difficult to locate it and switch it on.

19

human machine interface There are different icons designed to represent the following.

These icons make the interaction of the user with the interface of the inverter easy and user-friiendly.

POWER ON

MAINS ON

ALARM

BATTERY LOW

BATTERY OVERLOAD

The power on and the mains on icon will be seen whenever the inverter is on.The others shall appear when necessary.

POWER BUTTON is installed with led which run on the mains battery and require negligible power.

20 BATTERY BACKUP This tells us the time for which the inverter will run.

BATTERY CHARGE MAXIMUM OUTPUT that the inverter can provide us with.

CURRENT LOAD on the inverter is shown here.

The colour remains green till the load is below 600 W. It will turn yellow when it reaches 600 W. When the load reaches 800 W it shall turn red.As soon as it crosses 850 W the alarm will start ringing so as to notify the user about the maximum output the inverter can provide.

3-D FORM TRANSITION

3-D RADII MANIPULATION

22

This is 2-D form transition using form and the counter-form from aluminium sheet.We learnt that how form and counter-form are dependent on each other and create interesting spaces around each other.

This is 3-D form transition.The product is an electric trimmer in which the form transition takes place from a trapezium to an ellipse.

In 3-D radii manipulation,using a siporex block 3 individual elements are converted into a single form using radii manipulation.Radii manipulation helps in reducing the volume of the form and making it look aesthetic.
