Weidmüller is combining the u-view Advanced V2 touch panel series and the WEB-HMI PROCON-WEB ES into one operating solution. The web-based HMI and SCADA software is now available on u-view Advanced V2 series touch panels. This combination makes machine visualization and commissioning simpler and more intuitive.
The u-view Advanced V2 combines the runtime environment and HMI on a web-capable touch panel, and can be operated directly via the integrated browser, since PROCON-WEB is web-based. In addition to the dedicated local screen, other web-capable devices such as tablets or PCs can access the HMI. This ensures machine operators always have an optimal overview of their machine.
The robust design, with capacitive multi-touch and IP66 degree of protection, stands up to even harsh industrial environments. With display sizes ranging from 7 to 21.5 inches, users can choose the right variant depending on their machine and application. Communication drivers for OPC-UA, Modbus, Codesys, Allen-Bradley or Siemens-TIA controllers simplify integration into existing automation environments.
Users benefit from better flexibility when creating an HMI as well: pre-defined widgets, dynamic SVG elements and complex controls like wizards or trends make it easier to create modern user interfaces according to current UI/UX standards. Functions also include data archiving, trend visualization, and a comprehensive roles and permissions concept. In addition, PROCON-WEB offers options for automated creation of complete projects or parts of projects.
As another advantage, Weidmüller provides launch support with customized trainings, and supports the migration of complete projects – a key aspect when transferring existing applications to a web-based solution.
The new touch panel provides users with not only a robust and reliable operating solution, but also a quick way to get started with web-based machine visualization – forward-thinking, flexible, and optimally tailored to the needs of modern automation.
