HMI project structure

The Plastic Application HMI project is a project developed in TwinCAT HMI with basic functionalities for creating user interfaces for plastics processing machines. The project structure is based on the standard of a TwinCAT HMI project.

Use and further development of the Plastic Application HMI

Since the Plastic Application HMI project does not provide a fully comprehensive user interface for every plastics processing machine, the project must be adapted to specific machines. For this purpose, the project can be extended and modified as desired.

Microsoft Edge in kiosk mode

The Plastic Application HMI project contains controls that allow data to be stored in the browser. This is currently not possible with the Microsoft Edge kiosk mode, so that settings are no longer available when the browser is reloaded. With a Chromium™ or Google™ Chrome™ kiosk mode, the settings are still available even after a reload.
