HMI with Windows OS and PDF Support

HMI with Windows OS and PDF Support
none 0.0 0

Goodmorning,

I’m not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask, but my company, which already uses Weintek HMI systems, is currently looking for a more advanced HMI capable of running a Windows operating system. Our goal is to create, export, and view PDF reports directly on the device.

I came across your older model, the cMT-iPC10, which I understand is no longer in production. Is there a current model available that supports these features?

Would the HMI comply with ATEX standards?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

@fabioconfalonieri,

We no longer sell IPCs (Industrial PCs) but what kind of reports are you trying to generate?

Thank you! My goal is to create reports that include charts and data tables for oil sampling. Ideally, I would like to have a button that starts the sampling process and simultaneously begins saving the data for the report. Then, by pressing another button, the oil sampling and data saving would stop, and finally, a PDF report with the collected data would be generated and exported.

I have already tried using your HMIs by creating hidden pages with the necessary charts (temperature and pressure) and tables, and then printing the pages. However, this only gives me a PNG format, while my clients require a PDF.

Is there any way to overcome this limitation? I thought about using a macro, but I don’t think the HMI supports PDF format.

Thank you very much for your support!

Hi @fabioconfalonieri ,

Unfortunately, we currently don’t have a way to create custom PDF reports within EasyBuilder Pro. We will update you when this feature becomes available from our developers.

Some possible workarounds may be to create a SQL database and generate PDF reports from there, but we do not have documentation on this.

Thank you!
