June 22, 2009 - Beijer Electronics announces its iX concept, an innovative HMI solution that is easy-to-use, comprehensive and flexible. Providing optimal, future-proof control with the right look and feel at all levels of design and operation, iX offers a new level of HMI creativity, catering to everything from standard needs to advanced and customized solutions. What´s more, it is compatible with an extensive range of automation equipment.
Innovative openness
Available in a number of options as the combined hardware/software iX HMI System or as software only, iX affords the innovative openness to create and operate applications with the same access to functionality as if the user had programmed it himself. And, supporting Microsoft´s .Net framework, iX offers infinite creative possibilities for customization and the freedom to create objects.
Time savings
With iX, an application works within 2 minutes. The simple and accessible nature of iX means that even those lacking HMI experience will be able to use it while its openness allows it to communicate with all PLCs. And, since all the functions one could possibly need are already pre-programmed, they only need to be integrated and configured into a Windows environment. Advanced graphics are also possible as iX enables integration of a vast array of attractive graphic objects in just a few seconds. Further, iX has no limits.
The simplest and the most complex HMIs can be programmed rapidly. iX´s simplicity means the highest-quality HMIs can be realized.
Windows standard streamlined HMI simplicity
Everyone from developers to operators will feel right at home with iX. The solution features Windows standard components to provide an HMI in a format that´s familiar, appealing and easy-to-learn and use. Service material can be easily accessed directly via the HMI while expanding the visual potential of instructional documents and your HMI can access and be accessed via the Internet.
A design for the future
WPF vector-based graphics enabling excellent control, design and development of user-interfaces provide crisp, clear images whatever the magnification. In addition, iX supports the Microsoft standard Ribbons, eliminating the confusion of all those multiple levels of text menus and toolbars
