DyaloX packaged with PC based HMI software

The DyaloX IPC is now available packaged with two choices of HMI software. A choice can be made between NS runtime, software for running (re-using) projects developed for NS-series HMI or CX-Supervisor Machine Edition, an open HMI software package targeting machines visualisation.

In creating the DyaloX, Omron has drawn on its extensive experience in the manufacture of industrial-class stand-alone PC-based equipment (like ATMs) to create special self-diagnostic hardware and software. This includes the company’s proprietary RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) solution in which a built-in RAS board, interfaced by RAS utility software, continually monitors and logs the status of the IPC.

From Q2 2007 the DyaloX can be purchased as a cost-saving package that includes a DyaloX IPC together with HMI software (not pre-installed).

The DyaloX can be ordered with two different software options:

NS-Runtime

The first option offers NS-Runtime software that enables users to re-use an NS-series HMI project and run that on the DyaloX. Additional functionality consists of specially added functions to display documents and extra macro‘s that can be used, for instance, to start all user-defined applications from the Runtime project.

CX-Supervisor Machine Edition

The second option is called CX-Supervisor Machine Edition, offering CX-Supervisor Machine Edition software, a standard Windows HMI package that uses open technologies like ADO, ActiveX and OPC to provide comprehensive database connectivity, multi-vendor support to OPC servers and VBScript support, which is extendable with off-the shelf and custom controls.
