Introduction

TcHmiBa is an extension of the TwinCAT HMI for building automation applications. The integrator should be made as easy as possible to create an HMI, for example for a heating system, ventilation system or the entire HVAC technology of a building. With this solution it is also possible to map and operate the room automation in a building. TcHmiBa supports some functions of a classic management and control level (MCL).

TcHmiBa is not a MCL.
