A new capability in the vendor’s human-machine interfaces (HMIs) allows them to be remotely controlled and monitored with laptops, desktop PCs, touch pads, and cell phones such as the iPhone, Droid and Blackberry.
The HMIs have a VNC (virtual network computing) server that makes that
remote access possible. That means users can communicate with an
Ethernet-connected HMI via any device that has Internet access and a VNC
client capability. HMIs available with the remote operational
capability include 7-, 10.2-, 10.4-, 12-, and 15-in. units. The HMIs
come with bright, high-resolution displays with 65,000 colors (standard
and widescreen), analog touchscreens; USB, serial and Ethernet ports;
and an option to configure in either portrait or landscape mode.Maple Systems Inc.www.maplesystems.com425.745.3229
