Published: with international search report (Art. 21(3)) (54) Title: METHODS, APPARATUSES, AND SYSTEMS FOR HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI) OPERATIONS (57) : Methods, apparatuses, systems, and implementations of an HMI control system for BOP rigs are disclosed. At least some versions of the disclosed systems enable a user to configure interface settings, perform actions on a BOP stack, view dia - gnostics, perform testing, and observe and rectify alarms. The disclosed systems may enable a user to more efficiently navigate between different interfaces and perform HMI functions due to a control zone configuration. Additionally, the control zone configur - ation may reduce operator error by assigning certain control zones to particular functions and requiring the user to take affirmative steps to perform destructive functions. 1111111111111101110111111111110101111101110111111110101111111111110111111111110111111
