Title: Any way to get an hmi type interface for the do-more sim
Post by: Bobby on February 09, 2017, 01:02:07 PM

Was wondering if there was a way to get some type of windows based hmi for the sim, seems silly but I do a lot of projects that require some warehouse management middle ware and I am always asked for a way for them to test the data connections we use with them and they always get lost trying to use the do-more software. Would be very basic buttons/switches is all.

What do they need that they can't do with the SIM UI?  I wonder if you could use a Windows HMI and set the IP to 127.0.0.1   Oh I know, install VMware and put the Sim in that, and run the HMI in the host machine.   Or have two nics. This post is starting to take on kind of a stream-of-consciousness thing.

If NOTA, brick Do-Mores are near release.

Brick do-more would be even better :) That is my end goal is to build a little demo unit I can send to customers that need to test there integration software. And the reason I was trying to do an HMI of some sorts is most customers have no clue what a PLC is let along what they are looking at in do-more, so just trying to make it a little easier!
