Schneider Electric Vijeo Design'Air Plus HMI designer for mobile devices

Schneider Electric has announced its Vijeo Design’Air Plus feature in its existing Vijeo designer application for Android and iOS tablets and smartphones.

The feature enables users to create a tablet/smartphone project specifically for the tablet/smartphone display size. At run time, an operator can access the user application to display data and control automation processes on the tablet or smartphone.

The Vijeo Designer’s drawing tools can be used to create and edit a visual representation of the automation process. Users can draw shapes and parts (such as rectangles, arcs and pies), toolchest parts (such as numeric displays, switches and bar graphs), use the gradient feature to enhance the colour of the drawn objects, and set up an alarm panel for remote alarm monitoring.

The feature provides operators with the capability to select a user application and, on successful login, download and launch a tablet/smartphone application. The operator can view and monitor an automation process and, for example, change values in numeric displays and string displays. In the alarm panel, the operator can monitor and acknowledge alarms.
