人機(jī)界面設(shè)計(jì)中的觸摸傳感技術(shù)

　　隨著工業(yè)環(huán)境中更多的計(jì)算能力，人機(jī)界面有更多的選擇。觸摸傳感器和觸摸屏的多傳感器技術(shù)正變得越來越流行，而其他技術(shù)，如電容式觸控輪和接近傳感器是看到更多的采用。

　　越來越多的工業(yè)設(shè)備需要一個(gè)更復(fù)雜的界面、按鈕和開關(guān)的滑動(dòng)條控制更換車輪，和觸摸屏。提供一個(gè)堅(jiān)固的界面，可以很容易地集成到更先進(jìn)的控制系統(tǒng)，并仍然很快地在車間使用，是一個(gè)廣泛的設(shè)備至關(guān)重要。

　　有廣泛的選擇不同的觸摸屏控制器，而在工業(yè)應(yīng)用中，功耗并不一定像便攜式消費(fèi)設(shè)備一樣重要。然而，保持低功耗降低了溫度，提高了可靠性，并有可能降低運(yùn)行成本。也有廣泛的便攜式設(shè)備使用在工廠的地板上，特別是在測(cè)試中，功耗是至關(guān)重要的。同樣，一個(gè)設(shè)備的電磁性能可能不是消費(fèi)設(shè)備的問題，但在嘈雜的工業(yè)環(huán)境中是至關(guān)重要的。降低EMI易感性和減少界面排放的技術(shù)都是關(guān)鍵的設(shè)計(jì)因素。

　　Capacitive controllers have become much more popular with the advent of the Apple iPod control wheel， some of which is based around technology from Cypress Semiconductor. The capacitive technology helps in the industrial environment as the sensor can be covered. This technology functions by detecting changes in the electric field caused by the presence of another field such as a finger. However， these sensors can struggle with gloved fingers， so resistive contacts can be helpful in these situations. This distinction is continued with touchscreens. Capacitive screens are common up to 10 inches， but resistive screens can handle larger screen sizes and even gloves.

　　Proximity capacitive touch sensors in simple linear or rotational sliders offer significant advantages for industrial interfaces. With no moving parts to wear out and easily sealed to offer protection from harsh environments， they are more reliable， more energy efficient， and are more easily integrated to create an intelligent system.
