DESCRIPTION
The HMI Pad is a set of native iPad applications and services for developing Human Machine Interfaces for real time monitoring of industrial PLC based systems and processes. The system consists of thee components: the HMI Draw app, the HMI View app and the HMI Pad Service
HMI Editor
The HMI Editor app allows Integrators to build fully customizable HMI interfaces by simply adding visual items or other objects to pages.
HMI Pad Service
The HMI Pad Service is a server in the cloud that lets you store Projects and associated assets such as custom images. Projects you uploaded to the Integrators Service can be deployed online to the HMI View app right from the HMI Draw app
HMI
The HMI app is the run only version app for End Users that should not have access to project internals. Thus, projects on the HMI
Native graphical HMI for your iPad
Create stunning presentations of your PLC controller process as you never did before.
COMPATIBILITY
The HMI Pad System is compatible with PLCs of all major American, European and Japanese brands. Communications are performed using highly efficient native communication drivers.
