This HMI software allows field engineers to easily design a graphic canvas for visualizing real-time data from industrial devices like PLC and DCS. With support for OPC/DDE servers, users with no programming skills can display data on the canvas.

Thureus HMIBuilder is available in various editions, and the shareware is amongst them. It serves as an entry point for customers who are new to OPC technology and wish to benefit from adapting powerful standard technology to multiple industrial fields. The shareware version is upgradable with ease to more robust versions when the project grows and requires extended features such as scripts, tag database, alarms/event handling and data archiving function.
This software has several extended features such as wizards of creating tag databases with just one click, importing/exporting databases from/to external files, external notification SMS devices connection, periodic reporting of Excel, alarm summary and filtering, among others. All the products used in Thureus HMIBuilder utilize standard OPC technology as its internal architecture, enabling as much modular expansion as possible. Thureus HMIBuilder can also be connected to OPC UA enterprise-level HMI solutions using modern technology. It supports HTML5 content that also supports mobile devices such as IOS and Android as the demo page shows.
What makes Thureus more extensible is that it can serve as OPC DA, AE, and HDA servers, allowing it to bridge from OPC server to OPC/DDE servers or other commercial HMIs such as InTouch, iFix, etc. Customers with programming skills can also add their add-in modules and make them work together as a true integrated product, adding more uniqueness to this software.
Overall, Thureus HMIBuilder shareware is a powerful software that offers an extensive range of features suitable for industrial fields. It is easy to use, and its upgradability provides a pathway for more extended functionality, making it an excellent option for customers new to OPC technology.
