Hi all,

I would like to hear your review & opinion on Beckhoff in-house TwinCAT HMI product.

To avoid confusion, TwinCAT HMI is not same as TwinCAT PLC HMI.

TwinCAT HMI Product code is TF2XXX:
https://www.beckhoff.com/TwinCAT-HMI/

Background of discussion:
1) A SCADA system need to be developed for a plant-wide automation system.
2) Assuming all controller being used is Beckhoff product (IPC/Embedded PC)

The BIG question is:
Comparison of Beckhoff TwinCAT HMI vs Other SCADA software (eg.Indusoft, Ignition etc)

Discussion points:
1) What are the pros & cons of TwinCAT HMI?
2) Do you think TwinCAT HMI is effective to use to develop SCADA system?
3) How well does TwinCAT HMI perform compared to other SCADA software (eg.Indusoft, Ignition etc)

Any input or experience sharing is welcome!
Hope to learn from each other.

Thank you in advance!
