ProductivityCODESYS: Complete system visualization - included!

Develop and deploy HMI screens with ease using CODESYS WebVisu

A vital component of any automated system is the ability to monitor system status and manually control its operation. Simple devices like pushbuttons, indicators, meters, etc., provide basic interfacing but HMIs, with their detailed and interactive display screens, are preferred by many. Installing a physical HMI will incur additional hardware cost, but utilizing a "virtual" HMI can alleviate the added hardware, installation, and maintenance expense.

CODESYS Visualization is a visualization editor integrated in the CODESYS Development System. It allows users to create user interfaces for their applications that can animate and display data. CODESYS WebVisu is a web-based display variant of CODESYS Visualization. It allows for remote access, remote monitoring, and diagnostics of a system over the internet.

Normally, the CODESYS WebVisu license is an added cost. However, it is included with the ProductivityCODESYS system for free. With it you can:

• Create detailed user interfaces for your applications
• Visualize data from several CODESYS-compatible controllers in one user interface
• Utilize a wide variety of display elements and styles that are available in the CODESYS Development System
• Remotely access your ProductivityCODESYS controller to service and diagnose issues quickly from anywhere in the world via web browser

With CODESYS WebVisu and the ProductivityCODESYS CPU's integrated web server, process and system data can be displayed on any HTML5-capable display device (such as a thin client PC, tablet, phone, etc.). WebVisu can eliminate the need for a true physical HMI which can save hundreds, maybe even thousands, on each machine build.
