11 Using the Client application
HMWIN Client is a standalone application which provides remote access to the HMI Runtime, and is included in the
HMWIN Studio. HMWIN Client uses the same graphic rendering system as the runtime in the HMI devices, it relies on a
specified HMI Runtime as server for live data.
To run the HMWIN Client application:
1. From the Start menu > HMWIN Studio >HMWIN Client: the client opens in a browser-like style window.
2. Type the server/device IP address in the address bar (for example: http://192.168.1.12): HMWIN Client will connect
to the server and the same graphical application running on the device will be loaded in the client window.
HMWIN 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 andHMWIN Client or to
control an HMI device with a PLC.
See "Behavior" on page56 for details.
