ComfileHMI

Introduction

ComfileHMI is a WYSIWYG, HMI rapid development kit from COMFILE Technology, Inc.

  • The ComfileHMI Editor is the WYSIWYG software development environment used to create HMI projects, and is available as a free download from COMFILE Technology's website. Download Now.
  • Supports interfacing with the CUBLOC, MOACON, FA-DUINO, MODPORT, or just about any other Modbus-capable PLC or microcontroller. The MODPORT is a particularly suitable companion to the ComfileHMI as it does not require any PLC programming.
  • Water-resistant and open-frame models are available. (About open-frame models)
  • No branding on the hardware's front panel (logo-less). (About logo-less branding)
  • Supports TrueType fonts for creating multilingual user interfaces.
  • Supports PNG, JPG, and BMP image files.
  • Water resistant front panel models support audio output (e.g. .wav files)
  • microSD card support for additional memory (Included with purchase)
  • Modbus TCP: Can operate as either a client or a server. Details
  • Supports supervisory remote control from any device with a modern web browser.
  • Remote Scripting. (CHC Only)
  • Web API - Read from, write to, and otherwise control a ComfileHMI from any modern web browser, other ComfileHMI panel PC, or other web client. (CHC Only)

Demonstration

Please note that the demonstration in the video does not illustrate programming the MSB PLC. The MSB PLC is a CUBLOC-based product that is programmed using CUBLOC Studio. Please refer to the CUBLOC documentation. Download the MSB PLC source code used in the demonstration video above.
