Add an HMI Device

To control an application, HMI panels can be downloaded to a dedicated HMI device.

It can also be embedded into targeted Controllers.

  • Modbus TCP is used for communication from an HMI panel's Ethernet port to the X32 connector on the top of a AKD PDMM or PCMM.
  • Modbus communication may be active while programming the controller through the KAS-IDE while the AKD PDMM or PCMM is connected to a network, switch, or hub.
  • The KAS-IDE is automatically linked to the KVB HMI development software, and the Modbus addresses are automatically set.
  • See KDN for more information.

When running the KAS Simulator, an internal HMI editor is also available to debug the application.

See Design the HMI with the Internal Editor.
