HMI Touch Screens

A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) touch screen device is a digital interface between a user and a machine or control system in a manufacturing process. HMI touch-screen panels reduce the size of a control panel and eliminate the need for physical buttons and indicators by combining meter displays and input methods into a single device.

Offline Simulation

Develop a program and simulate it without connecting to a panel
- iView2 Developer doesn’t require a panel to be connected in order to simulate an application. Since our software is free to download you can test your application before purchasing a panel!
Detailed compilation log to help you find errors in your application
- Nothing is more frustrating than having your application fail to compile. iView2 Developer however makes it easier to find those errors by giving you detailed descriptions in the compilation log. Screen number, X-Y position, and reason for failure are provided for each error so you can easily track them down
Simulation behaves exactly like the real thing.
- Change operators, input values, and navigate screens using a clickable interface
- Fully test your application before putting it to work in the field
- Use the online simulation mode to test for errors in connections to devices

Remote Programming

Alter HMI programming using USB, MicroSD, or FTP file transfer
- Storing the program file on a USB disk or SD card allows you to update the panel application without needing a computer
- You can also copy the existing program from one iView to another
Upload/Download an HMI program remotely with a network connection
- By using the Ethernet connection on the iView you can upload or download an application to the panel from a remote location

Password Protection

Secure panels from unwanted changes to designs, macros, and upload/download operations using passwords
Password levels can be assigned to any input object to prevent unauthorized users from making changes
- There are 9 password levels that can be assigned to objects including one developer password. You can also assign a username to them to track changes made
- A user with a higher level automatically has access to all the functions of the levels below
Log files of users and their associated actions can be created and stored for later review

Helpful Documentation

Choose from dozens of language character sets and switch between them on the fly

Recipe Function

Make numerous changes to tags and values with the tap of a button
- Recipes are preset blocks of data that allow for multiple products to be created using a single machine or production line. By changing recipes a user can quickly switch from, as an example, bagging 5 pounds of cake mix to bagging 3 pounds of biscuit mix
Enough storage for over 1 million individual recipes

Scripting and Macros

Create macros by easily writing your own scripts to achieve automatic changes
Macros can be nested within your code to modularize your functions for easy maintenance and future alteration
Macros can be triggered by a multitude of events ranging from when an object is pressed to after a certain amount of time has elapsed
No prior coding experience required! Detailed descriptions of each function are displayed in the function library
Combine Macros with the Event Processor to allow the HMI to make changes according to monitored conditions

Tagging

Easily assign custom tags to parameters for easier programming
- By assigning tags to registers you can name them for ease of use later when programming
- In the software, a tag can have multiple names (called aliases) with the same data type and settings.

Portrait or Landscape Modes

The iView can be easily mounted horizontally or vertically. Simply choose your orientation in the application settings and iView2 Developer will automatically rotate the workspace to fit
