Designed specifically for machine control and OEM needs, InteractX version 1.8 is the latest iteration of the vendor’s Windows-based human-machine interface (HMI) software.
Version 1.8 offers additional features for Level 2 HMI platforms, which provide centralized logging and storing of data from factory processes for real-time or future analysis. One new feature is InteractX-to-InteractX networking. This is a real-time data exchange that does not require DCOM, but instead uses a vendor-written protocol that runs over TCP/IP. Another version 1.8 feature is networked OPC Client/Server capability, which allows the software to exchange real-time data with the OPC Client and the OPC Server. The exchange occurs not only on the local system, but also across the network to another PC, even if InteractX is not installed on it. Concurrent with InteractX development, the vendor also upgraded its PX Series PowerStation workstations to provide a bundled HMI solution for Windows functionality in 10-, 12-, 15- or 18-inch high resolution touch screen displays.
