A PERFECT FIT – REMOTE HMI V7 AND REMOTE DEVICE MANAGER

Over 10,000 installed applications make our REMOTE HMI an industrial-grade Thin Client software, developed for on-site operation of the Distributed Control System (DCS), the Manufacturing Executions System (MES) and others. Our software concept has been tailored to meet the requirements of the process industry.

It is compatible with all distributed control systems and supports all major Thin Client technologies such as RDP, VNC or HTML browser. Our REMOTE HMI V7 is based on the highly secure Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 operating system, with security updates guaranteed by Microsoft until 2031. It is a "closed system", where the on-site operator can only operate systems and activities parameterised by the administrator, without being able to access the Windows® operating system. Compared to the V6 version, the current REMOTE HMI V7 from 2024 features new functions.

New – integration of IP cameras

IP cameras are frequently used to monitor processes and systems. However, the display of images from these cameras in distributed control systems or other applications is frequently complicated if not impossible. Following popular demand by our customers, we have integrated a viewer for IP cameras into our REMOTE HMI V7. The integration of an IP cameras takes only a few clicks, and the image can be shown as a floating window at any position on the display. If required, the user can also move the window.

New – keyboard and mouse-sharing

There is a growing need for information on-site, and one screen is often no longer enough.Which method is suitable depends on whether there are different, separated IP networks and whether these can be connected to one terminal at different ports.This in turn depends on a company's individual network security concept.We offer two different methods.

New – permanent SSD status monitoring

Solid State Disks, SSD for short, have replaced hard disks. The life cycle of an SSD is limited by the amount of write cycles a memory cell can undergo. While current SSDs can achieve millions of write cycles, but in terms of years their usage time is nonetheless limited. We have integrated status monitoring in our REMOTE HMI V7 so that the end of the SSD's lifecycle does not come as a surprise. This new function permanently monitors the status and temperature of the SSD. Also, all energy cycles, the write rate and the status of the write filter are monitored to ensure the longest possible lifecycle of the SSD.

New – Support via QR code

Despite our careful selection of materials and device design there might still be the extremely rare case of a device malfunctioning or ceasing to work altogether. To simplify communication with our experts, we have implemented the SUPPORT REQUEST function. A QR code is shown under the Maintenance menu item. By scanning this QR code the customer can request support in a matter of seconds. The QR code contains all relevant device information including the serial number, enabling us to provide our support for all software and hardware problems without delay.

NEW - WEB BROWSER HTML5

The REMOTE V7 can be used for direct access to the internet, any websites or, for example, Codesys, all in secure mode.

REMOTE HMI V7 - also for our tablets

The REMOTE HMI V7 is available in a slightly modified format for installation on our tablets. This version also features the Fluid Design function and permanently shows the battery status so that the device can be recharged in time. It is available for Zone 1, 2 and secure industrial areas such as mining.

SOFTWARE FOR ADMINISTRATION - The REMOTE DEVICE MANAGER

Our additional tool for saving time – the REMOTE DEVICE MANAGER for time-saving administraiton from the control room

Via the REMOTE DEVICE MANAGER, the same parameterisation functions are available centrally on the maintenance workstation as well as on the local client.

Full remote access to the REMOTE HMI V7 is available, except for the Windows system. With only a few clicks, all parameters set on a Thin Client can be deployed to hundreds of other Thin Clients via the REMOTE DEVICE MANAGER.

Our REMOTE DEVICE MANAGER is suitable for the maintenance of Thin Clients from REMOTE HMI V6 version onwards.

ON-SITE ACCESS TO ALL THIN CLIENTS AND MOBILE DEVICES

Our REMOTE HMI V7 is the solution for industrial Thin Clients on-site – from safe areas to hazardous areas, Zone 2, Zone 1. The server applications and data can be accessed via RDP, VNC or browser. Also, any type of apps can be executed on the Thin Clients. A mobile version is also available for our Windows-based tablets. On the market for over 20 years, the software can be used in a great variety of applications.

ONLINE HELP – REMOTE HMI FIRMWARE AND REMOTE DEVICE MANAGER

We developed the REMOTE HMI as a Thin Client software for easy network administration in the process industry. This firmware enables you to conduct secure network communication. Refer to the REMOTE HMI online help REMOTE HMI Online Help for a detailed description, start options, the set-up of addresses and remote connections.In addition, the REMOTE DEVICE MANAGER has been designed for setting up the software, parameterising remote connections and administrating firmware licenses and apps. Together they are a powerful combination.
