VisuNet RM Shell 5 for Thin Client Operator Stations
VisuNet RM Shell 5—Smart HMI Solutions for Industry 4.0
Efficient profile management
Without leaving their central workstation, administrators can access VisuNet Remote Monitors and create new profiles. Once a profile is created, it can be quickly and easily transferred to any number of remote monitors.
Secure and reliable
A built-in firewall, USB lockdown, and password-protected user roles meet the highest security standards. Support for third-party antivirus programs such as McAfee Endpoint Security® is another new feature of RM Shell 5.
Flexibility
With Windows® system access, RM Shell 5 offers expanded administrator capabilities. Administrators can independently install required apps and manage user access rights. Additionally, advanced settings allow them to adapt the firmware based on application needs.
Meeting Future Demands
With the introduction of VisuNet RM Shell 5, Pepperl+Fuchs presents the next generation firmware for VisuNet Remote Monitors that meets the demands of tomorrow in every detail. Using standard Ethernet technology, the smart HMI system communicates with the process control system or the MES, enabling the process plant to be controlled and monitored conveniently.
Installed on thin client operator workstations, VisuNet RM Shell 5 communicates with the process control system or MES via standard Ethernet technology. This smart HMI system combines hardware and software for convenient monitoring and control of your processes and plants. It makes applications visible in hazardous areas while they run on hosts in a non-hazardous area. VisuNet RM Shell 5 is compaible with both modern virtualized and conventional workstation-based process control systems.
New operating system
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.
All functions of the RM Shell 5 can also be used on our new mobile industrial tablet thin client which is suitable for use in explosion-hazardous areas. It is based on the ruggedized “Pad-Ex” tablet series from Pepperl+Fuchs brand ecom, comes with preinstalled RM Shell 5 and can easily and fast be integrated into the thin client network. This allows users to connect to remote monitors, support staff in the field or just check on the different processes from anywhere in the plant. This provides great flexibility.

Industrial Tablet Thin Client
Simplified profile management
Creating new profiles in Control Center is simple. Administrators can connect to a VisuNet Remote Monitor and create a new profile without leaving their central workstation. The profile can then be conveniently transferred to any number of remote monitors.
Efficient user support
In case of failures, session shadowing function allows administrators to connect to faulty remote monitors and provide support from their own workstation. This central administration point saves resources and increases plant availability.
Innovative VisuNet Control Center Software
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.
Secure, Reliable, Flexible
Built-in security mechanisms
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.
Reliable connection
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.
More Flexibility
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.
