Savage, MN — Beckhoff has released its TwinCAT HMI system and calls it a “paradigm shift” for HMI software. Instead of proprietary systems for engineering and communication, and their use only on certain operating systems, the company leverages IT standards such as Microsoft Visual Studio® for the engineering, HTML5 for the design, and Websockets and HTTPS for secure communication. The new system provides a solution and a
step toward the next generation of HMI, integrat- ing the interface directly into the familiar Visual Studio® environment. The software and program- ming environment were designed for efficient per- formance and user comfort. Programming is not required, as the graphic editor comfortably han- dles configuration. As simple the configuration is, the handling is equally adaptable. The web-based system, based on HTML5 and
JavaScript, acts “responsively,” adap - ting the display to best suit the screen in use, regardless of the operating system, browser or device. The basic architecture supports numerous applications — from the

with In-Sight Natick, MA — Cognex Corporation has introduced the In-Sight® 2000 series, a product line that combines the power of its In-Sight vision sys- tems with the simplicity of a vision sensor. The vision sensors have been designed for simple error-proofing applications. The sensors are easy to use due to the combination of the In-
local HMI panel solution to multi-client, multi- server and multi-runtime concepts. Individual

extensions can be quickly implemented with de - fined interfaces, and the mix of standard graphic controls and custom design elements enables a high degree of individualization. Depending on the application, the HMI logic
can be implemented on the client side in JavaScript or as a server extension. This offers the possibility to write extensions in .NET or C++, to protect intellectual property. The company also offers a scalable hardware and software portfolio for operator interface concepts in TwinCAT HMI
and a selection of Control Panels and Panel PCs. Contact: Beckhoff Automation, LLC, 13130
