Intuitive Design
HMIWorks provides an intuitive graphical design interface that allows users to focus on what they want to do. By getting rid of the programming details and being more intuitive, everyone can easily finish their projects.


Support Many Widgets - Shorten Development Time
Many widgets are included in the HMIWorks development tool, including Rectangle, Ellipse, Text, Picture, Line, TextPushButton, Slider, BitButton, HotSpot, CheckBox, Label, Timer, PaintBox, ObjectList, providing the most commonlyused functions, such as drawings, event handlers, and timing control, which effectively shortens development time.


Built-in the Extensible Graphics Library
HMIWorks provides a variety of graphics for common situations. Users can also add their own graphics (supports JPG, BMP, WMF and EMF) to the library by the common painting or photo editing software.


C and Ladder Diagram Programming
HMIWorks supports “Standard C” for users of programmer and "Ladder Designer" for user of PLC. These two program can be used alone or in combination.“Standard C” also provides a rich TCP/IP and Uart API, allowing users to develop private communication protocols for devices that are not using standard Modbus protocols.


Vertical or Horizontal Display
TouchPAD can be installed as “vertical” or “horizontal” depends on your need.


Fast-start the Main Program
The main program is fast started and ready to work within few seconds after powered on.


Multilingual Functions
TouchPAD can display multilingual text including English, Russian, French, German/Italian/Spanish, CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) and others. This feature helps users designing user-friendly interfaces.


65536 Colors - Bright and Clear
Presently, LCD touch screens are available at 2.8”, 3.5”, 4.3” and the TouchPAD series includes different resolutions from 240 x 320 x 16 to 480 x 272 x 16. ICP DAS will expand this range in the future.


Flexible Communication Interfaces and I/O Expansion Capability
TouchPAD is equipped with RS-232/422/485 or Ethernet communication interfaces. It is easy to control various remote IO modules with standard Modbus TCP/RTU or DCON protocols, and some models support XV-board for local I/O expansion. TouchPAD can also work as Modbus TCP/RTU slave device for easy integration with SCADA software.
