A single HMI for multiple machines—without compromising on safety

02.10.2026

Long production lines, multiple stations, or modular systems require flexible operating concepts. Often, a single HMI would suffice, although several are installed depending on the situation.

The KEBA KeTop shows how this can be handled seamlessly:

🔶 One HMI – multiple base stations
A single operator terminal can be linked to multiple base stations on different machines. Ideal for large plants or distributed systems.
🔶 Safe Wireless for Maximum Freedom of Movement 📡
Secure wireless communication, including safety signals—even in complex applications (SIL 3 / PL e).
🔶 Wired with Hot-Plug 🔌
Reconnect the HMI between base stations without triggering an emergency stop. Safety is fully maintained.
🔶 Flexibility without system limitations

Suitable for a wide variety of plant configurations—mobile or stationary.
This offers a clear advantage, especially for large production lines: less hardware, greater freedom of movement, and a consistent operating concept.
