Product description

TwinCAT HMI is a tool for creating HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces). Like TwinCAT, it is integrated directly into Visual Studio. A graphical WYSIWYG editor is used for the configuration, i.e. no programming is required.

Controls from the toolbox can be arranged on the user interface and linked with real-time variables, e.g. from the PLC or from a C++ module. User Controls can be used to graphically create and configure specific controls. JavaScript developers can develop their own controls. During development, the functionality can be tested with live data from the real-time system. Modifications are also possible in this live mode.

The logic of the HMI can either be implemented on the client side in JavaScript or as a server extension. A server extension allows you to develop extensions in C#.

Because the HMI is web-based and responsive - based on HTML5 and JavaScript - the resolution and orientation adapt automatically. This allows the same page to be used for different display sizes, aspect ratios and orientations.
