Odrid HMI 1.7.10

It is essential to thoroughly review the description prior to downloading the software.

The Odrid HMI serves as an operator panel tailored for various industrial control systems, facilitating communication via Wi-Fi or mobile internet. It utilizes protocols such as Modbus/TCP (Class 0 and 1), Modbus RTU Class 1, and Siemens S7 Communication (ISO-on-TCP).

This application provides a viable alternative to conventional SCADA systems and operator panels. It supports a diverse array of data types and features intuitive navigation between pages, enabled by swipe gestures or buttons, enhancing user experience.

Furthermore, Odrid HMI is well-suited for home automation, allowing users to control and monitor various systems including lighting, ventilation, and heating remotely through PLCs that implement the Modbus/TCP protocol.

• Technical Support: Excellent assistance is available.
• Updates: Regular updates are offered free of charge.
• Fast Development: Users can create graphic HMIs with multi-touch functionality in just minutes.
• Development Tools: A no-cost development tool featuring a test run capability is included.
• Scalability: There is virtually no limit on the number of pages, objects, or variables.
• Independence: No reliance on third-party services is required.
• Native Performance: It operates as a genuine native app.

The application boasts several notable features:

• Configurable communication parameters such as IP address and port number on a per-page basis.
• Automatic monitoring of all variables on the current page negates the need for a separate tag list.
• Diverse formats for numeric variables including various integer types, float (IEEE 754), and more.
• Event-driven communication prioritization ensures efficient data transfer to the controller.
• Edit pages using Density Independent Pixels (dp) for precise display on diverse devices.
• A life bit feature monitors the operator panel within the controller, akin to coordination areas found in Siemens S7 systems.
• Narrative representation of numeric variables through predefined text for elements such as alarms and sequence steps enhances clarity.
• Comprehensive diagnostics are available for connection and communication issues.
• The system allows for distinct areas dedicated to system variables, local variables, and constants.
• An automatic return feature resets the display to the start page after a defined period of inactivity.
• The facility to select high and low word order for 32-bit variables within the Modbus protocol is provided.
• Polling intervals can be adjusted to optimize data traffic or conserve battery life.
• A wide range of character set support includes Baltic, Central European, Chinese, Cyrillic, Eastern European, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Western scripts.
• A test-run capability for pages is available within the development tool.
• LED representations can be customized in size, making them suitable for applications such as Andon systems.
• The option to select background colors for pages adds personalization.
• The Modbus Device ID can be modified via GUI elements during runtime.
• The app supports image buttons, password fields, floating-point formatting, and timestamping for page files.
• Hyperlinks facilitate easy navigation between documents embedded in page files.

The software’s implementation of protocols includes:

• Modbus/TCP: Class 0 (Function 3 and 16) permits reading and writing of up to 64,512 holding registers.
• Modbus/TCP: Class 1 (Function 1, 2, 4, and 5) allows reading up to 65,535 discrete inputs and output coils while also managing input registers.
• Modbus RTU: Supports both Class 0 and Class 1 protocols.
• Siemens S7 Communication: Enables reading from and writing to various memory areas covering up to 8192 bytes in DataBlock 1 through to address 4095 (with a default maximum DataBlock value set at 255).
