Movicon Reviews & Product Details

Movicon Next software is best HMI design software in terms of creating beautiful and modern looking interfaces. It even has option of integrating interactive 3d models and even animate them through process variables which is unique, because no other software that I used, (including the mot renowned brands) offers that at the moment. OPC based communication with various PLCs itself is very forward looking approach from the stand point of industry 4.0 and IoT. The ability to run on Linux based thin clients is a very cool effort and something to grow on in future.

Movicon has a very rich symbol library and graphic elements available for use are top quality making it easier to develop uniform screens.

Licensing cost is less as compared to others and products delivers value for money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Design suite even improved still is complicated and UI is not very user friendly, in the context that the most people using it are primarily are from PLC and SCADA industry not software engineers, it still seems like it will be more useful in the hands of application or web developers rather then control engineers.

Importing alarms for major PLC vendors should be made possible its a hassle compared to using their own HMI software where you don't even need to import program alarms.

SVG web client and deployment on small Linux clients appears experimental and at this stage does not seem to be able to deliver a standard solution, efforts required to make it more practical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
