Abstract
The invention provides consistent settings between local and remote parameter adjustments of both local and remote HMI. A dial () is superimposed on a bistable display substrate (), having an indicator () configured to be manually aligned with a displayed character representing a manual setting of a parameter value for controlling local equipment. A network interface () is connected over a communications network () to a remote HMI (), configured to receive a new parameter value for controlling the local equipment (). A controller () samples the current position of the indicator () of the dial (), and provides a control input signal () to the bistable display substrate () to control a display of the new parameter value in the current position of the indicator () of the dial () and to provide the new parameter value to the local equipment ().
