Manual for iX Developer
Foreword
The iX Developer software is used to configure iX Panels and PC operated control
applications, including applications for EPCs (Industrial PCs).
iX Developer makes it easy to create logical, flexible and effective HMI applications
that provide the right information on the right occasion to operators and to other sys
-
tems.
This manual describes the configuration software in detail.
Please see the iX Developer User’s Guide (MAEN832x) for function-based descrip-
tions.
The manual assumes that the most recent versions of the system program (firmware)
and iX Developer are used.
For specific details of a connected controller refer to the help file for the controller
driver. The function of a project application in an operator panel is not affected by
the choice of controller.
Further on in the manual iX Developer is also referred to as the configuration tool.
The information in this manual is also available by pressing F1 while using
iX Developer.

ics.
iX Developer contains all basic functions needed in an application. The functions are
tested and developed with customer needs and preferences in focus.
Pre-defined objects in iX Developer can be used to create complete process images,
providing an overview of a complex application. You can customize the pre-defined
objects or create objects of your own.
Communication drivers for a large number of controllers and automation equipment
are available.
Controller
Operator panels can be connected to many types of automation equipment, such as
PLCs, servos, and drives. Further on, the expression
controller is used as a general
term for the connected equipment.
Tags
Data values in a controller are referred to as tags. A tag has a symbolic name and can
be of different data types.
Objects connected to tags can change values in the controller, and tag values can be
reflected by changing object appearance in various ways. Objects in a screen will re
