4.3" HTML5 Web HMI with Blank Overlay

Web HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces) are display units that use a Web Browser to act as a Web Client to visualize internal contents of PLCs and other devices. They offer a versatile and secure means to extend access to a central server. Especially designed for industrial applications, Web HMIs are durable, cost-effective, and user friendly, no communication cables needed, no programming software or programming hours spent.

All of them, examples include: CODESYS Web Visu, Ignition SCADA, Node-RED, Arduino, SpiderControl, Raspberry Pi, Apache, and more?

No software needed, simply enter the IP or URL Address of your target device and you’re up and running.

Yes, our Web HMIs run web-based applications. This refers to any program that runs on a server and is accessible via a web browser using HTTP/HTTPS. these applications can range from simple dashboards to complex SCADA system interfaces used to control and monitor extensive industrial processes. Custom web applications may also be employed, allowing for maximum flexibility.

The USB port only supports mouse or keyboard devices. Additional human interface devices (HID) would have to be connected to an HMI that would send that information to a webserver, and that information can be viewed on the Web HMI.

Any device that has a web-based application can be viewed on our Web HMIs.

Yes, you can connect several Web HMIs to Allen Bradley HMIs. Web HMIs cab be added to almost any project in place of a standard HMI. Display Visualizations made in CODESYS, AVEVA Edge, or any web-based application with ease.

Web HMIs function solely as client devices, meaning they rely on a connection to a central server to access services and process data. The Web HMI simply acts as an extension of the server’s interface, connecting to the server over Ethernet to display data and provide a means for operators to send input back to the server.

As you can see in the above diagram, using Web HMIs can result in a more efficient network that requires less hassle to implement and expand. Adding new Web HMIs to your system is trivial compared to the alternative:

• Streamlined Connection: Fewer components, no need for complex wiring. Easily mounted and connected to your existing network infrastructure. Connecting to power and the local network are all you need to do to get online.
• User-Friendly Configuration. Plug and Play approach. Simply enter the server’s URL or IP address into the Web HMI’s connection menu and you’re ready to go.
• Reduced IT Burden: No need for extensive software installations or updates since the Web HMIs rely on web-based applications. Centralized management from the server ensures all panels are always up to date with the latest features and security patches.
• Simple Expansion: Since adding a new Web HMI is as easy as connecting it to a network and entering the server URL into the connection menu, there is no need for extensive configuration or additional hardware investments.
• Cost-Effective Growth: This streamlined process enables quick and cost-effective expansion, allowing you to scale your operations with minimal effort.
• Flexible Deployment: Web HMIs are easy to install in various locations across your facility, providing consistent access to essential data and controls.
• Energy Efficient: Web HMIs typically consume significantly less power than traditional HMIs since all the heavy lifting is done by the central server. This is particularly important in environments where multiple devices are in continuous operation.
• Environmental Benefits: By lowering power consumption, Web HMIs contribute to more sustainable operation, aligning with green initiatives and reducing your facility’s carbon footprint.

By leveraging the processing power of a centralized server, Web HMIs present a streamline approach that can cut down development and installation time, while increasing overall efficiency across your control system. Simple wiring also means that installing a new Web HMI requires connections to power and the local network, nothing more.

No communication drivers are needed as our Web HMIs are equipped with open-standard HTML5 Protocol.

Not long at all, it super quick and easy:

After powering on the HMI, a countdown screen will be displayed. If no action is taken within the countdown period, the screen redirects to the designated Default Website.

Click the [System Settings] button and enter the system password (default: 111111) to access the system settings menu. Here, configure the Web Browser, Network, change the system password and adjust any other settings to your preference.

The built-in browser will browse to the default website after seconds defined in [Countdown before Start] setting. To change the default website and countdown time, open the [Web Browser Setting] tab.

Increase the countdown time if the web server starts slower than the browser.

To change the system password, open the [Administration] tab. Enter the current password, then the new password, and confirm the new password to complete the update.

WP4000 Series

Device information for our WP4000 Series Web HMIs, such as the Product Name, MAC Address, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses, can be found in the 3rd menu tab on the left, after start up.

cMT Series

Device information for our cMT Series Web HMIs can be found in the System Settings menu located on the bottom of the startup window.

WP4000 Series

The second icon on the left is the URL Selection Page, where you can specify up to 5 website URLs for the Web HMI to be able to quickly visit on start up. Click on the button to the left of the URL, cycle power and the Web HMI will start up to that website automatically.
