VisuNet RM Shell 5 for Thin Client Operator Stations
RM Shell 5 is based on the Microsoft® operating system Windows® 10 IOT Enterprise and supports the latest remote protocols, such as RDP10, VNC and NetC@P. With the Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC), Windows makes security updates available on a long-term basis.
VisuNet RM Shell 5 features a simple, intuitive user interface. All local remote protocols are displayed on the home screen.
VisuNet Control Center software is a highlight of RM Shell 5. It enables efficient, centralized management of VisuNet Remote Monitors.
Marc Seißler, Product Portfolio Manager for HMI Products, shows step by step how to configure a VisuNet Remote Monitor using the VisuNet Control Center.
In addition to the firmware RM Shell 4, Pepperl+Fuchs now offers an innovative software for thin client and remote monitor management: the VisuNet Control Center. The new centralized management functions facilitate configuration, maintenance, and monitoring. Administrators are no longer burdened by in-the-field setup in hazardous area or clean rooms.
Simplified profile management
Creating new profiles is simplified within the straight-forward and modern management interface. The administrator can connect to a VisuNet Remote Monitor to create a new profile without leaving the central workstation. The created profile can then be conveniently transferred to any number of monitors.
Efficient user support
In case of failures, the session shadowing function allows administrators to connect to faulty Remote Monitors and support the user from their workstation. This central point of administration not only saves time and costs, but also contributes to an increased plant availability.
Control Center to go
ecom's windows-based mobile devices make the Control Center mobile available. With the Pad-Ex® 01 series tablets, which are suitable for explosion-hazardous areas, administrators are able to connect to remote monitors and support users in the field from anywhere. This provides greater flexibility and increases process efficiency during operation and service.
RM Shell 5 provides the highest security standards. A built-in firewall and USB lockdown reduce the risk of malware and virus infiltration. A Unified Write Filter protects the drive against malicious programs. RM Shell 5 now also allows installation of antivirus programs, such as McAfee Endpoint Security, for additional malware protection. Password-protected user roles (Operator, Engineer, Administrator) control access rights.
Advanced functions in VisuNet RM Shell 5 ensure a reliable connection to the host at all times. For instance, you can configure your VisuNet remote monitor to automatically establish a connection to the process control system after startup. If the host fails, RM Shell 5 can establish a predefined backup connection independently, ensuring error-free information display.
Expanded administrator capabilities offer RM Shell 5 users even more flexibility. Administrators can install all required apps, including antivirus software and drivers for accessories. The administrator determines which users are allowed to access each app. By adjusting advanced settings in the Windows® Control Panel, administrators can adapt the firmware to fit the requirements of their application.
