Rockwell Automation: New FactoryTalk OptixPanel Graphics Terminals

February 1, 2024

Factory Talk OptixPanel Graphic Terminals from Rockwell Automation are sealed human-machine interface (HMI) appliances that come pre-loaded with FactoryTalk Optix and FactoryTalk Remote Access software licenses.

This means that the device is an all-in-one solution that’s ready to run at first power-up. The pre-installed, closed operating system reduces risk in implementation and maintenance.

FactoryTalk OptixPanel Graphic Terminals are one of the solutions in the new FactoryTalk Optix portfolio. The FactoryTalk Optix portfolio allows users to choose their own technology mix, where for the first time, Rockwell Automation customers can use visualization software to design HMI applications that can natively work with both Rockwell Automation and third-party controllers and display on a choice of hardware from either Rockwell Automation or a third-party.

Users can connect to a variety of third-party software, devices or systems using software designed for interoperability and full OPC UA support. Users also only pay for the features they need with runtime licensing that is based on the capabilities in their application.
