It is a particular strength of web HMI technology that any preferred device with an integral browser can be used as the control and display unit. Until recently, however, there was a certain disadvantage in having to deal with IP addresses, even for simple point-to-point applications. In addition, connection to PDAs and mobile telephones was only possible with the help of a wireless network infrastructure. With the introduction of the Bluetooth option for all SaiaPCD automation devices, Saia-Burgess has now taken a further important step in innovation.
It is now possible for SaiaPCD Web-Panels (3.5“-10“) and all Bluetooth-capable devices with browsers to have one-to-one connection to SaiaPCD controllers, even without a network structure or IP handling. Bluetooth has been integrated so well in this case that the control box door represents a “transparent” barrier and can therefore actually remain closed.
