Hardware-independent visualization
With current web standards such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, the new Lasal VisuDesigner engineering tool from Sigmatek allows the creation of hardware-independent, user-friendly visualization solutions displayed on various HMI devices.
Thanks to an optimized browser, these also run smoothly on less powerful hardware. The graphic interfaces are designed and configured using modern design themes, as well as an extensive library of predefined controls. In the graphic editor, operating elements can be grouped into function units such as temperature zones and reused as desired. The logic behind the graphic elements can also be assembled from puzzle-like components without in-depth programming knowledge. Since the optics and logic of the control are separated, it is possible to easily create visualization projects in multiple display variations and load into other applications. Individually designed graphics and controls, animation, videos and audio files can be easily integrated. For machine concepts with option modules, the parameter sets of the currently available machine modules can be reloaded dynamically.
