The Monitouch HMI series is equipped with a variety of wireless communication options for monitoring critical data, both virtual network computing (VNC) service for onsite and remote locations with the virtual private network (VPN) server. VNC allows users to view and operate the HMI screen on the factory floor via PC or tablet devices without any license requirement. Using a VPN, more methods of communicating are available for centralized control of multiple locations and remote maintenance.
