HMI Software is commonly referred to as the development application that will be used to create the runtime application for an HMI terminal. It’s important to understand this distinction as we will be going over the HMI development environments used by PLC and HMI programmers to create the screens rather than the end-user applications you will see at the plant level.Numerous HMI programming software solutions are found on the market. Although they aim to achieve the same result, different packages have a distinct advantage over others in terms of price, reliability, ease-of-use and technical capability. It is therefore possible to find the right solution that will fit your specific application if you spend the time to research all options.
