Hey Everyone,
I'm looking at all new PC based HMI softwares in an effort to find a good one that will replace our current long standing development software. We are currently using Lookout by National Instruments for a number of new HMI projects, and it has several existing bugs and no plans on putting out any version updates.
Price point is an issue. Some projects we would develop would have a large number of tags (Roughly 5000) and likely 100+ screens. Some software such as Ignition Pro or even Factorytalk look great, but we don't serve an industry that would warrant the cost.
It would also require the ability to have a high level of internal logic. Our current program uses several strategies to perform hundreds of miscellaneous math and internal logic commands.
My question is this: Has anyone used Movicon.Next by the Italian company Progea? By running the demo and taking some initial training it could be a good option that I had not found before and was recently featured as a good new option. I would like to hear if anyone has anything good or bad to say about it as even it's older version (movicon 11.5) does not seem to have a very large online presence or troubleshooting forum/section.
Link to control engineering website where it is listed as a 2017 award finalist.
