GUI for AB control

Hi, i'm using an AB plc.


I would like to know if there is a application which can make a user friendly GUI. So we can u a touch screen monitor do activate inputs.

This is for a home application. We are going to use the PLC5 for home use.

Thnx in advance

If you are good with visual basic, there are a few activex plugins that you could use, or you could use a DF1 driver. Take a look at this thread: http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=14870&highlight=DF1+driver

I heard about RS view. Is this a valid option?

It all depends on your concept of "user friendly". Most of the HMI packages once setup are easy to use BUT in some cases can be difficult to setup.

You said GUI, does that mean you want the HMI to be on a computer with a touch screen?
OR
Are you going to use a Touchscreen HMI?
It depends, give more details about what you want to do.
