Just See For Yourself…
We have made available several web HMIs built with WebIQ directly on the internet delivered by the powerful WebIQ Runtime.
Just see for yourself what’s possible right in your browser by opening one of the online demos below. Even more online demos are available after signing up.
Your browser does not seem to support Websocket connections or it might be blocked by your company firewall.
As WebIQ requires Websocket support access to the live demos has been disabled. If you have fixed the problem you can try again by reloading the page.
This demo shows many WebIQ widgets in action like a trend display, gauges, input fields, dialogs and also features the inclusion of the open-source library “Chart.js” for the “Error Categories” and “Complaints” bar and pie charts.
After signing up for free you can download this and many other WebIQ demo apps and the WebIQ Widget utilizing Chart.js for free.
The Chart Demo illustrates the usage of the open-source Chart.js library we have used to create a custom WebIQ widget utilizing this library. This allows you to embed charts easily and connect them to variables from your PLC or any other datasource connected to WebIQ.
After signing up for free you can download this and many other WebIQ demo apps and the WebIQ Widget utilizing Chart.js for free.
The Alarm Demo demonstrates the WebIQ alarm system and allows you to trigger alarms in one of the states information, warning and alarm. A requirement for a manual acknowledgement of alarms can also be configured in WebIQ and historical alarms can be viewed.
After signing up for free you can download this and many other WebIQ demo apps for free.
OpenBridge is a nautical framework built with HTML5 web components. This demo illustrates the simple embedding of the OpenBridge library by creating custom WebIQ widgets on top of the OpenBridge widgets that simply connect WebIQ to those widgets allowing you to connect process variables from the PLC to change the behavior of those components.

Technical Details – We Love To Be Open!
As a web HMI system, WebIQ is based on the WebIQ Runtime which acts both as a webserver for the webbrowser and as a client for the OPC-UA server that passes through the process variables to the HMI in the browser. Therefore you can have an unlimited amount of concurrent client connections (depending on the license) in different browser windows even in completely different locations around the globe – all thanks to web technology.

* Only Raspberry Pi OS is officially supported. When using Raspberry Pi also for the display of the HMI at least 2 GB of RAM is required.
** As ARM is only a processor platform it cannot be officially supported on all systems and depends on a number of factors. You can try using the Raspberry Pi versions – if you are unable to get them working on your ARM system please feel free to contact us for help!
Proprietary protocols are not our thing – therefore we fully focus on open standards allowing for flexibility and preventing vendor lock-in.
