If your critical machinery relies on an older UniOP HMI (like the model pictured), you should consider a proactive replacement. Waiting for a failure could lead to significant and expensive downtime.
The original UniOP Designer 6 software is now obsolete, and, critically, there are no spare parts available for repair. Common models affected include:
Compounding the problem, the obsolete UniOP Designer software is not compatible with modern operating systems like Windows 10. In the event of a screen failure, finding an engineer who has access to both the legacy software and a compatible system (like Windows 7) becomes a major hurdle.
The best and most reliable strategy is to upgrade to the current generation of screens from Exor, powered by the JMobile software platform. (These are readily available in the UK via Scattergood & Johnson).
ControlMotive Ltd specialises in this seamless migration:
This upgrade means that in the event of any future hardware issue, you can quickly and easily replace the screen with a standard off-the-shelf unit, minimising downtime and securing your machine's operational lifespan.
