JVisu

Linux and Open Source software are very popular for low level embedded and control applications. Due to it's open nature the technology optimally fulfills the needs of users from the automation industry who build systems which have to be supported over a timespan of more than 15 years.

One of the "building blocks" of Open Source automation technology is the Human Machine Interface. JVisu was written with the needs of field control technicans in mind - you don't need programmer's skills to write your own machine visualisation frontend.

JVisu Highlights:

• Graphical Interface Builder for easy contruction of interfaces
• Clear Separation between HMI frontend and PLC backend
• Java applet runs in every JDK-1.4.x enabled web browser
• High performance due to optimized communication channels
• Easily adaptable to field devices with well known protocols

And, of course, JVisu is Open Source, meaning that there are no runtime licenses and the code is fully available in source code form.
