merson has announced the release of
Movicon.NExT Version 4.4, a modern human-machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platform.
Movicon.NExT HMI/ SCADA empowers users to create interoperable automation architectures for discrete and process manufacturing applications in the commercial, industrial, and municipal/utility industries. This update delivers enhancements boosting functionality, performance, and flexibility, with an emphasis on user-centric improvements to maximise development efficiency.
COMMUNICATIONS AND DRIVERS Updated industrial communication protocol drivers—for OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, and others— provide support for multi-station, advanced arrays, and more. A new DNP3 driver enables
Movicon.NExT HMI/SCADA to integrate seamlessly with power industry and electrical utility networks. Optimised I/O operations more efficiently aggregate read/write tags for greater throughput, and open connectivity helps users easily connect with digital assets.
SCRIPTING AND DEVELOPMENT Native support within
Movicon.NExT for Python
Movicon.NExT Release 4.4 marks a significant evolution of the platform, with performance and user-centric advancements for communications, scripting, development efficiency, data management, and security..
runtime scripting enables custom, cross-platform logic, so developers can create sophisticated strategies while building on proven work. Updated user interfaces, new graphical properties for controls, and streamlined license management (both local and network-based) enhance and simplify the overall user experience, while accelerating project development.
DATA MANAGEMENT
New support for TimescaleDB in the historian offers improved storage efficiency and higher performance, especially with large data volumes. Other enhancements increase data precision and SQL database compatibility, while recipe and alarm management are performed through a centralised connection.
Movicon.NExT is built to meet the increasing demand for data to support visualisation and analytics.
SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE A full migration to .NET 8 for core
Movicon.NExT applications, and unified and encrypted password management applied across the entire platform,
are just two examples of built-in security to help users defend their digital systems and achieve regulatory compliance. CFR21 compliance has now been enhanced with the addition of user group information logged alongside usernames.
AN INTEGRATION-READY HMI/SCADA PLATFORM
Additional
Movicon.NExT modules, such as Pro. Lean and
Pro.Energy, are also revised to v4.4, with updates such as an improved user interface and navigation, new library symbols, and the addition of grouping and overview screens.
The release of
Movicon.NExT v4.4 strengthens this HMI/SCADA’s position as an open, high- performance, and integration-ready platform, while maintaining a focus on ease-of-use.
Movicon.NExT is the foundation of a solid automation architecture, helping end users, systems integrators (SIs), and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) create innovative automation solutions.
