The new TwinCAT HMI solution integrates the Human Machine Interface directly into the familiar Visual Studio environment. The software and programming environment were designed with optimum efficiency and maximum user comfort in mind. Programming is not required, as the graphic editor comfortably handles configuration. As simple as the configuration is, the handling is equally adaptable: this web-based solution, based on HTML5 and JavaScript, acts responsively, adapting the display to best suit the screen in use regardless of the operating system, browser or device.
