I am in search of a non-PC based, non-SCADA based HMI and software that allows the ability to dynamically draw graphical objects on the screen to represent a pattern.
For example, this machine will allow a user to type in a number of radial rows to drill holes in, and how many holes in each row. So concentric circles of different numbers of holes (usually evenly spaced).
I want to be able to "draw" a picture or diagram of this configuration on the screen for the operator to be able to visually check that the pattern of holes looks as expected. Possibly even dynamically add text in locations to label certain points. I know of PC based HMI apps and SCADA packages that offer this flexibility, but I can't think of any canned HMI package that allows this. AB, Siemens, Mitsubishi, etc. Anyone know of an HMI package that just allows me to simply "draw" a bitmap (lines, circles, colors, etc.) at various locations.
