Historical trends can be displayed as line graphs or bar charts with zoom and pan capabilities. You can export logs directly to CSV format for analysis in Excel.

The software includes native drivers for:

V6.3 offers integrated web capabilities. You can view the HMI screens remotely via a web browser (Web Gate). This is a vital feature for modern maintenance teams who need to troubleshoot a machine from an office rather than the factory floor.
