Web meets automation
With mapp View, automation engineers have all the tools they need to create powerful, intuitive, web-enabled HMI screens. There is no need to deal with the underlying web technology. This technology is encapsulated in widgets, which are simply dragged and dropped into place and configured.
- Intelligent process variable mapping
- Limits
- Unit conversion
- Unit switching
- Rights management
- Configuration
- Supports OPC UA data model
Seamlessly integrated
HMI projects are developed in B&R's development environment, Automation Studio. Pages and other resources are managed in the Logical View. The Toolbox provides an excellent overview of all available widgets.
1 | Intuitive WYSIWYG editor |
|---|---|
2 | Integrated screen and resource management |
3 | Direct access to base data |
4 | Extensive collection of widgets |
5 | Fast and easy configuration |
Platform independence
mapp View is built on the globally accepted web standards HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Unlike proprietary platforms, these standards are updated continually and remain usable for decades – ensuring maximum return on investment.
1 | 100% web standards |
|---|---|
2 | Responsive design |
3 | Various output devices |
4 | Maximum ROI |
Intuitive operation
Modern web technology opens up exciting new possibilities for operating machinery and equipment. An efficient and intuitive user interface boosts productivity and reduces downtime.
1 | Animations |
|---|---|
2 | New UI design concepts |
3 | Audio & video |
4 | Multi-touch gestures |
5 | Easy user guidance |
Total modularity
mapp View completely decouples the content from the layout and the HMI logic from the control logic. This shortens development time and ensures maximum reusability, making mapp View the ideal solution for modular and flexible machine designs.
1 | Sensors & actuators |
|---|---|
2 | mapp components |
3 | Ready-made UI elements |
Multi-client / Multi-user
Different users need access to different content. mapp View allows you to implement role-based views without having to program them into the machine application. These custom screens can even be viewed on different devices simultaneously.
1 | User-specific content |
|---|---|
2 | Multiple clients with different views |
3 | Easy implementation |
OPC UA
Data management in mapp View is completely based on What is OPC UA. This makes it possible to easily integrate data sources from other vendors into the HMI application. This data can be viewed locally on a Panel PC or remotely on any device with a standard web browser.
- Local or remote HMI
- Easy 3rd-party integration
- Supports OPC UA data model
The window to your smart factory
System operators need to have the right information at the right time, wherever they happen to be. Through web standards, mapp View ensures convenient access to machine and line data for users at any level – giving them a clear overview of all their smart manufacturing processes.
1 | Clear overview of the production process |
|---|---|
2 | Maximum transparency across all levels with POWERLINK and OPC UA |
3 | Data visualization at every level with mapp View |
mapp View is part of the mapp Technology software framework. The modular, preprogrammed software components – known as "mapps" – substantially reduce the time and cost of developing automation software. The intelligent mapps communicate with each other automatically – even further reducing the amount of programming required. The extensive mapp portfolio is growing all the time. Find out more:
