HMI Panels & Interfaces – Intuitive Operator Control Systems
Touchscreen HMI Panels Built to UL 508A Standards. Engineered for Clarity, Built for Speed.
At Pinnacle Power & Controls, we engineer UL 508A-certified HMI control panels that simplify how operators interact with complex systems. Designed for intuitive control, real-time feedback, and minimal downtime, our HMI panels bring process visibility and machine interface functionality directly to the production floor.
Whether it’s a 10″ touchscreen panel on a conveyor line, a Class I Div 2-rated interface for oil & gas, or a multi-language HMI on a food batching system, we build your operator stations to match voltage, I/O, screen size, and control protocol — down to the last tag and alarm.
With integration-ready screens, clear graphical layouts, and field-serviceable wiring, Pinnacle gives your team what it needs most: fast decisions, fewer errors, and smart, scalable control.

What Is an HMI Panel?
What Is an HMI Panel? The Interface Between Operators and Automation
An HMI panel (Human-Machine Interface) is a graphical control station that allows operators to monitor and manage industrial systems in real time. These panels display system data visually — often via a touchscreen — enabling users to start/stop equipment, view alarms, adjust settings, and execute logic commands without direct access to the PLC or MCC.
At Pinnacle Power & Controls, we engineer HMI panels that connect seamlessly with your PLC, VFD, or SCADA system. Our panels are designed to match your process flow, site environment, and communication protocols — whether you’re using Modbus, Ethernet/IP, or Profinet.
From standalone HMI units to fully integrated panels with built-in control elements, our systems are engineered for durability, clarity, and fast decision-making on the plant floor. Whether mounted to a cabinet door or installed on a remote pedestal, every HMI we deliver is user-tested and field-ready.
HMI Panel Features & Engineering Options
Built for Operators. Engineered for Automation. Customized for Your Workflow.
At Pinnacle Power & Controls, our HMI panels are more than just touchscreens — they’re purpose-built control hubs that streamline operations and reduce operator error. Every panel we build is designed for real-world conditions, with features that simplify interface usability, improve diagnostics, and support rapid deployment.
Our engineering team configures each system around your process flow, industry protocols, and user access needs. From basic push-button HMI overlays to multi-page touchscreen SCADA dashboards, we design interfaces that match the experience level and workflow of your team.
Whether you’re replacing a legacy display or designing a new panel from scratch, we tailor each build for environmental, functional, and regulatory compliance — including NEMA ratings, Class I Div 2 certification, and UL 508A listing.

Types of HMI Panels We Build
Tailored HMI Solutions — From Single Stations to Plantwide Interfaces
At Pinnacle Power & Controls, we don’t build one-size-fits-all HMI panels. We engineer operator interface systems tailored to your control environment — from compact door-mounted HMIs to multi-screen SCADA dashboards across large facilities. Whether you need a standalone operator station, a mobile touchscreen terminal, or a ruggedized interface in a Class I Div 2 environment, we design HMI panels for performance, clarity, and reliability.
Every panel is configured for your preferred brand (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Maple Systems, etc.), communication protocol, and screen layout, ensuring intuitive operation and seamless logic integration.
Common HMI Panel Types We Engineer:
Door-Mounted HMI Panels
Compact interfaces mounted directly to control panel doors — ideal for local machine access.
Standalone HMI Operator Stations
Freestanding units with screen, switches, and emergency stops — ideal for line control or packaging areas
Integrated PLC + HMI Panels
Combined logic + display systems in one enclosure for cost-effective automation.
Remote HMI Terminals
Connected via Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, or Wi-Fi, for accessing PLCs across distributed systems.
Multi-Screen SCADA Dashboards
Custom-built SCADA interfaces for control rooms, with touchscreen and keyboard/mouse support.
Industry Applications & Use Cases
Where HMI Panels Make the Difference — From Factory Floors to Field Stations
HMI panels are only as effective as the environment they’re built for — and at Pinnacle Power & Controls, we engineer them for real-world industrial conditions. From food plants needing washdown-rated touchscreens to oilfields requiring Class I Div 2 enclosures, every interface panel we build is tailored for its site, user, and task.
We’ve helped operators across industries streamline visibility, reduce training time, and gain real-time process feedback. Whether you need a stainless enclosure on a packaging line or a remote panel connected via cellular to a PLC network, Pinnacle’s HMI systems are field-tested and ready.
