N2 - Due to customer-specific requirements that often change on short notice and vary tremendously, machine and plant manufacturers have to refactor their design processes and control software, especially for operator interfaces. Operator skills are crucial to operating complex systems, especially in case of a readjustment for new products or in case of a fault and the subsequent restart of the machine or plant. The paper introduces the variability of human-machine-interface (HMI) software in relation to the variability of control software, generalizing from the application example of a lab-sized demonstrator. Primarily the manual mode is focused, used to cope with errors and prepare a machine restart after an error by manipulating selected mechanical elements. The results of this paper are prerequisites and a first step to improve the design of both HMI and control software towards a holistic, modular approach instead of just trying to couple both on a very low level.
