WebIQ Designer (Engineering Tool)

WebIQ Designer is an intuitive engineering tool designed to develop exceptional HMI solutions without the need for extensive programming knowledge. It features built-in styling functions and over 60 HMI building blocks (widgets), enabling responsive design from the start. The “What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get” (WYSIWYG) layout editor enhances the user experience, allowing the creation of unique web HMIs.

Built on standard technology such as HTML5 and OPC UA, WebIQ Designer also provides an open programming interface for compatibility with open-source and other third-party software. Additionally, it supports data acquisition from diverse sources, with the option to store information in a local SQL database in an edge-based configuration. This tool is intended for use on your development PC, running on the Windows operating system.

WebIQ Server App (Runtime App)

The WebIQ Server App functions as the HMI Runtime App, enabling the execution of your Web HMI on your PLCnext system, whether it’s situated on your machine or inside your plant. Developed using WebIQ Designer, the installation process requires no manual configuration, as all necessary prerequisites for the WebIQ Server App are automatically installed on PLCnext upon downloading.

Key features of the WebIQ Server App include a robust web and websocket server, an OPC-UA Interface, secure TLS encryption, user and rights management with ACL (access control lists), storage capabilities for events, alarms, and historical alarms, a data recorder for trends and historical data management, a recipe manager, and a potent API for accessing data and configurations.
