Wonderware InTouch Machine Edition

Wonderware InTouch Machine Edition

InTouch Machine Edition is a highly scalable, flexible HMI/SCADA software designed to provide everything from advanced HMI applications to small-footprint embedded devices. The rich feature set enables users to create intuitive, secure, and highly maintainable HMI/SCADA applications for any industry. InTouch Machine Edition is ideal for OEMs, Machine Builders, Value Added Resellers, Discrete HMI/SCADA, or Process HMI/SCADA.

With three versions that share an integrated development environment, it’s possible to develop applications for everything from IoT edge devices to process SCADA. The compact footprint of InTouch Machine Edition EmbeddedView and IoTView are ideal for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Deploy and run on small panel PCs, embedded devices, and machines,  or publish your application to the web with Studio Mobile Access and access it with smartphones and tablets without any additional development.

Want to do more? InTouch Machine edition is scalable from the low to high end of SCADA/HMI requirements. It offers a complete HMI/SCADA toolset that allows you to connect to almost any PLC or controller, create remote applications for web browsers, smartphones, and tablets, develop in a variety of operating systems, and include all the functionality users expect from InTouch. Everything you need, including integration with Wonderware products, is included with installation.

InTouch Machine Edition is a natural extension of the current Wonderware HMI portfolio and the perfect complement for customers who already own Wonderware System Platform or Wonderware Historian. It provides embedded devices, local PC-based HMIs, SCADA systems with unique functionality for connecting automation systems end-to-end.

InTouch Machine Edition Features

Unique software capabilities make it easy and cost effective for you to use InTouch Machine Edition to build smarter end-to-end automation systems.

Platform Agnostic HMI/SCADA Software Allows you to Develop Once and Deploy Anywhere

Develop your InTouch Machine Edition application, and use built-in capabilities to deploy your application anywhere. Deploy on embedded and small-footprint IoT devices, with core runtime editions that run on devices using Windows Embedded, Linux, and VxWorks, or deploy to devices, laptops, or PCs using any currently supported version of Microsoft Windows.

Automatically convert FactoryTalk™ ME/SE, PanelMate™ and PanelBuilder™ projects

Conversion tools slash development times for users looking to migrate from existing 3rd party HMI to InTouch Machine Edition. It’s possible to save up to 90% development time during conversion process while protecting prior engineering investments.

InTouch Machine Edition Industry Solutions Make Development as Easy as a Few Clicks

Developing applications for Andon solutions, Business Intelligence and OEE, or PackML? InTouch Machine Edition templates drastically reduce development time. Customize, configure, and get your machines running quickly.

Putting Machine Data to Work Through Integration With Wonderware System Platform

 InTouch Machine Edition enables a line of sight from Wonderware System Platform SCADA applications down to embedded machine-based small systems. Configure remote machines directly from System Platform.

Monitor machine status and performance against OMAC PackML data and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) standards. Changes implemented in the InTouch Machine Edition applications update automatically to System Platform SCADA applications.

• Leverage your Wonderware System Platform investment by sharing data from embedded devices across multiple plants
• Native integration with Wonderware System Platform and Wonderware Historian and Wonderware Online facilitates easy, cross-site reporting and performance metrics
• Native System Platform integration with InTouch Machine Edition enables collection, historization of tag values and alarms status without impacting existing System Platform licensing
• Tiered architecture facilitates IIoT based applications that will demand surge in the volume of interconnected devices
• Ability to centrally deploy InTouch Machine Edition projects to connected remote nodes from System Platform

Wonderware Historian Integration with Store-and-Forward Capability

One InTouch Machine Edition integrates natively with the Wonderware Historian and Wonderware Online, displaying a common node for each machine across one or multiple sites. This enables remote monitoring of machine health and performance data and simplifies cross-site performance metric tracking and reporting.  Regulatory compliance, data storage and reporting from a small device to multi-site could not be easier.

Data is accessible through standard SQL Server tools such as Excel or Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services. Store-and-forward capability saves information locally if the connection to the historian is lost and sends it to the historian when it is back online. InTouch Machine Edition can also communicate with a historian over a private WAN connection or satellite link.

Multi-touch interface

The InTouch Machine Edition multi-touch interface allows development for any touch-screen enabled device. Use familiar touch gestures, like pinch for zooming and panning, or swiping to change screens or acknowledge alarms.

Hardware Independence and Open Connectivity

• Native drivers to more than 240 communication protocols, covering all major PLCs, temperature controllers, motion controllers, bar code/2D/RFID readers and many other devices.
• Connect to any SQL database (Microsoft SQL, MySQL, Wonderware Historian), or Microsoft Access or Excel, and ERP/MES systems.
• Embedded Web Server allows you to connect to your machine from anywhere at any time.
• Leverage store-and-forward capabilities to save information locally (if the connection to the historian is lost), and forward it to the historian when the connection is re-established.
