Omron Automation UK has released Version 1.3 of the NB-Designer software, adding more functionality to the already feature rich, cost-effective NB HMI series.

One major new feature is the support for remote access via web browser. This function, already available on the NS HMI series, gives you the possibility to view the HMI screen from another device on the same Ethernet network or remotely using a VPN connection.

Remote access

The web interface feature can easily be enabled and configured in the HMI software. Standard HTTP user authentication is available for basic security. From the simple web interface menu you can choose to only monitor or fully operate the HMI. The settings page helps you to optimise the performance and quality of the connection to the HMI.

With this web interface, the OEM has the possibility to easily monitor or troubleshoot the machine from a remote location, using a standard web browser on any internet device, smartphone, tablet or laptop.

Other new features

Other new features of the NB-Designer software are greater driver support for non-Omron PLC manufacturers, German and French language support and other improvements to make it easier to design beautiful HMI applications.
