iX – a truly open HMI concept

A tag can be connected to several controllers, allowing to have the same HMI application running against different PLCs. Additionally, the signals from multiple PLCs and other devices, e.g. inverters can be mixed, which enables a brand independent component usage, harmonized with end users demand.

Furthermore the open platform architecture is underlined by compatibility with all major automation systems by OPC industrial standard data access.

The SQL connectivity is used to enable quick data management in relational database systems.
