Unified vs EasyX2

This app allows hosting different HMIs to monitor and control a plant or machine. You can create the HMIs with the Unified-E App Designer and publish them on the Unified-E App Manager. Unified-E is a software product which is used to operate machines or plants with a smartphone. App development time is drastically reduced by using the "Unified-E App Designer" software, where you can define both the HMI views and push notifications for your individual HMI app. No app programming knowledge is required. There is a Gateway PC required which connects smartphone with machine and ensures that communication is secured and only granted for authorized users. The "Pro" license also allows operating a machine via the Internet without performing any configuration on the firewall or router. By now there are already multiple Unified-E endpoint adapters, e. g. for the S7-, ControlLogix-, Modbus- or OPC UA interface. The software, user manuals, licenses and further information can be found on the website ww.unified-e.com. For developers and integrators all licenses are for free.

EasyX2 only works with Vector X2 controllers (TCX2, TCI2, TRI2, SxC2, SRD2, ... ) with Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. The app scans the (W)LAN for connected controllers and list the devices. Each controller provides an integrated web interface which can be accessed directly using EasyX2. The X2 commissioning of the controllers need to be done in advance using the software "EasySet". The WLAN settings can be entered in order to connect a new X2 Vector Controller into the existing WLAN.
