“Virtual HMI” Gives Users Easy PC Access to Multi-Zone Controller
Master Controller module lets users create a “virtual HMI,” allowing machines to be controlled and monitored via any networked PC with a standard web browser. This also facilitates access and control of any connected device in the system, including PLCs and motor drives. Red Lion Controls, Inc., York, PA
