Interface software

developmentcontrolhuman-machine interface

The human-machine interface commonly called HMI is a software that allows the operator and the machine to communicate. Since the first numerical control produced, the Z16, D.Electron has always dealt with this non-secondary aspect of the numerical control by supplying the TERMS terminal software. After various developments we have arrived to the current ZETA, the latest and most advanced operator interface of the Z32 CNC. Since ZETA is a multipurpose interface, D.Electron wanted to make ZVIS available to its clients, which is a development environment for those who wish to create interfaces dedicated to a specific machine, processing or application sector. The possibility to download, install and use ZVIS is included with all the Z32 CNC setups that D.Electron supplies. ZVIS is a powerful application that allows to create the structure of software interfaces which will then support dedicated graphic blocks. Graphic blocks can be obtained directly from the component library of soft buttons, positions display, gauges, command functions, etc. free to use, that are the result of 20 years of D.Electron software development or created freely using the ZVIS graphic tools. Each individual block can interact with the Z32 CNC integrated PLC software to exchange data. It is possible to add software capabilities to the blocks for processing the data to be exchanged with the machine PLC.
