WebIQ 2.20.1 introduces secure-by-default communication, support for Modbus TLS, enhanced engineering tools, and usability improvements that help you deliver modern industrial applications with greater confidence.
Whether you're building new machines, modernizing existing equipment, or preparing for future compliance requirements, WebIQ gives you the tools to create scalable web-based HMIs that are secure, intuitive, and ready for tomorrow's industrial demands.
Why upgrade to WebIQ 2.20.1?
Strengthen cybersecurity from day one
Cybersecurity is becoming a key requirement for machine builders, manufacturers, and system integrators. WebIQ 2.20.1 introduces security enhancements designed to help you build systems that align with modern security expectations.
New installations now enable HTTPS by default.
New installations now enable HTTPS by default, secure TLS communication is supported between WebIQ Designer and WebIQ Server, and enhanced certificate management, account recovery, and audit logging help strengthen operational security.
WebIQ 2.21 also enable certificate management for new installations.
Your advantage: Reduce cybersecurity risks, support secure-by-design machine development, and move closer to compliance with evolving regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
Connect equipment more easily
Integrating devices from different vendors should not slow down your projects.
WebIQ 2.20.1 introduces built-in support for both Modbus TCP and secure Modbus TLS, making it easier to connect PLCs, controllers, sensors, and industrial devices without additional communication layers.
Support for Modbus addressing enhancements further simplifies integration and configuration.
The result: Faster project deployment, reduced engineering effort, and greater flexibility when building connected industrial solutions.
Give your engineers more time to innovate
Every minute spent troubleshooting configurations or navigating development tools is time not spent creating value.
WebIQ 2.20.1 includes numerous improvements across engineering workflows, certificate management, code validation, localization, and project configuration. A fully localized German Designer interface further improves accessibility for development teams.
The local language Designer interface improves accessibility for development teams.
From project setup to deployment, WebIQ helps reduce friction throughout the development lifecycle.
What this means for your team: Fewer configuration errors, faster engineering workflows, and increased productivity across projects.
Deliver better operator experiences
The best HMI applications are intuitive, responsive, and easy to operate.
WebIQ 2.20.1 introduces improvements for touch devices, recipe handling, user input workflows, and visualization performance across desktop, industrial panel, tablet, and mobile environments.
Additional safeguards help prevent unintended multiple button activations while numerous UI refinements improve overall usability.
Customer outcome: Shorter training times, fewer operator errors, and a more efficient user experience on the plant floor.
Build on a platform ready for the future
Technology evolves quickly, and modernization should be predictable.
WebIQ 2.20.1 provides a clear upgrade path while helping organizations prepare for next-generation Linux environments and future platform requirements. It is the final WebIQ release supporting Linux distributions released before 2021, giving users clear visibility into future infrastructure planning.
Your benefit: Modernize at your own pace while reducing the risk of unexpected platform limitations in future projects.
