The HMI Client

HMI Client is a standalone application which provides remote access to the JMobile HMI Runtime, and is included in the JMobile Suite. The HMI Client uses the same graphic rendering system as the runtime in the HMI devices, it relies on a specified JMobile HMI Runtime as server for live data.

HMI Client acts as a remote client and communicates to the server, sharing the local visualization with the tag values that are maintained or updated by the communication protocol.

HMI projects contain properties indicating which page is currently displayed on the HMI and can force the HMI to switch to a specific page. You can use these properties to synchronize pages showed on the HMI device and HMI Client or to control an HMI device with a PLC. See "Project" for details.

To avoid unexpected behavior:

• be sure to use the same version of the JMobile HMI Runtime
• use "FreeType Font Rendering" to be sure to use the same font rendering engine on both HMI Client and HMI Device (see "Runtime")
