Compact HMI
Based on the premium technology of ABB‘s System 800xA DCS with its leading object oriented engineering platform, it can be used in a variety of diverse industries, ranging from a single operator workstation, 50 signals and scale up to applications with several thousand signals and workplaces.
Designed with Microsoft Windows® standard of interaction, Compact HMI supports Windows 10 2016 LTSC and Windows Server 2019. This provides exceptional ease of use, unmatched performance and cost savings.
Not only can Compact HMI directly interface to a large number of OPC-compliant controllers but also it comes with built in drivers to connect to major PLCs.
With our Smart Client technology, you can quickly and easily remotely access real time plant data on your office PC analyze it directly, and then create a wide variety of reports.

Compact HMI 6.1.1-1 Release Highlights:
OPC UA Connect
This OPC UA Client enables external OPC UA servers, such as PLCs, to be connected and integrated into Compact HMI so that Compact HMI can read and write data from/to these OPC UA servers. OPC UA Connect currently only supports OPC UA data access (DA).
OPC UA Client Connection Services
A new OPC UA Server enables external OPC UA Clients to connect to Compact HMI to read and write OPC data. OPC UA Client Connection Services are typically used to exchange data between Compact HMI and third-party software applications to be used for e.g. reports and data analysis. OPC UA Connect currently only supports OPC UA data access (DA).
Event History
Event History is intended as an optional replacement for the previous Event Storage service and provides essentially the same functionality, i.e. handle messages from services, connected systems and workplace clients. Like the Event Storage service, the Event History service handles short term storage of events bringing advantages such as:
-
Supports redundancy without the limitation of two service providers
-
Supports events for three months plus current month. Approximately 5 million events can be stored and no limitation per category.
Windows operating system support
Compact HMI 6.1.1-1 provides support for Windows 10 LTSC 2021/Server 2022 in addition to Windows 10 2016 LTSC, Windows Server 2016, Windows 10 2019 LTSC and Windows Server 2019.
