Add an HMI Device

To control your 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 for more information.
