Along with the rapid progress in technology, people want to interact with the facilities or electrical devices in a simple way. Therefore, HMI device such as digital displayer is playing a more and more important role in prevailing Human Machine Interaction. The industrial control products leader, ICP DAS, has officially launched a series of rugged home/building automation products which conform to industrial specifications - TouchPAD. The TouchPAD series is a brand-new controller with 2.8¡¨ high resolution TFT color touch screen and outlined with the same size to fit in regular electrical wall-mount outlet.
Furthermore, by various communication ways, such as Modbus TCP protocol, TouchPAD can be linked to the WISE/ET-7000/ PET-7000/ I-7000/ M-7000 series modules and integrates with SCADA software easily. Users can real-timely monitor the status of facilities or electrical devices from the displayer of TouchPAD.
To accomplish the real Human Machine Interface (HMI) requirements, not only touch sensor technology, but the GUI tools are also required. The conventional GUI tool is difficult to implement so that the users have to invest a lot of efforts, time and money to learn and develop their own application. To solving this annoying problem, ICP DAS provides HMIWorks, the free dedicated developing tool for TouchPAD which provides plenty of widgets and templates to help users complete all the development jobs. Under the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) design concept, HMIWorks can totally satisfy the requirements for users. |
