Human Machine Interface Design for Process Control Jean-Yves Fiset Users and designers of industrial control and monitoring systems (e.g., distributed control, supervisory control and data acquisition, and stand-alone) will benefit from this book’s easy-to-use—yet effective—method on how to configure, design, and validate human-machine interfaces (HMIs). It discusses the overall HMI design process and how that process relates to system design. It also details design methods, principles and rules for individuals or groups of displays, as well as the integration of software-based and hardwired HMIs. This book will help guide you on the design of HMIs for other, less common, yet important, components, such as expert systems and other electronically-displayed operating procedures. Using the knowledge contained in this book, you can determine how to configure or design a whole new set of displays for a system or how to enhance specific elements of an existing or planned HMI.

ISA
The ISA CAP® certification program is designed to assess competence in the automation professionals. The process for identifying competency areas includes a job analysis study, which serves as a blueprint for examination development. For both broad content areas and tasks, the study validates importance and criticality to practice. These ratings play an important role in determining the content of the examination. The ISA CAP® job analysis study consisted of the following three phases, which are the focus of this report:
• Initial Development and Validation — A panel of experts identified the domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills that are essential elements of the profession of automation.
• Validation Study — A representative sample of 1,500 practicing automation professionals was asked to review and validate the work of the job analysis panel.
• Development of Test Specifications — Based on the ratings gathered from the representative sample of automation professionals, the test specifications for the examination were developed.
