Update, reconfiguration and extended functions of the world's most graphical HMI
With its open platform architecture and graphics that have become a global benchmark, iX has paved the way for modern HMI solutions. Beijer Electronics' in-house developed HMI solution is now offered in a more powerful combination which, thanks to a software update, provides extended features: notably, more functionality in both design mode and runtime mode, as well as faster screen page display and project build times. The improvements also include a new scroll function, better data transfers and downloads, and support for Chinese.
iX Developer is a universal project planning tool compatible with all products in the iX Panel series. The range includes touch and keypad units with display sizes from 4,3 to 19 inches.
The overall performance of iX Developer and the runtime has been dramatically optimized by adding new functions and modifying others. The result: an intuitive project planning tool for efficiently creating realistic graphic environments.
Anyone new to iX Developer V1.30 will benefit from the many existing demo projects, which will help in carrying out their own projects. Equally useful is the extended choice of demonstration screens. The existing templates and scenarios are a source of inspiration for users to easily develop their own solutions.
Animated GIF files bring the screen to life and encourage strong operator involvement in operational safety. With the optimized toggle-tag function, the user can create a backlit button in no time that clearly shows the status of the push buttons. Implementing the extended object library and integrating graphic elements into one's own projects help to significantly reduce development time.
The database export clearly consolidates production data and alarm lists in the form of comprehensive reports. The Excel-format file is then ready for analysis in external software programs.
In runtime mode, the new alarm viewer particularly improves navigation through alarm lists. Thanks to the scroll key, the operator can browse through lists, even long ones, quickly and intuitively. The various keyboard configurations, including special characters such as Cyrillic or Chinese fonts, are now supplied as standard. The operator overlays their keyboard language options to work in a familiar environment. This function is very useful, particularly for export-oriented machine builders.
The new trial version is available for download now.
