When it comes to HMI drivers – KEB offers a lot of flexibility. KEB has never been the biggest automation company. We’ve been forced through the years to interface with other manufacturers PLCs and controls. A very large company like Rockwell says we will push DeviceNET or Ethernet/IP and that is it. Same with Siemens and Profibus and Profinet.
KEB’s ability to interface with many different communication protocols is to our customer’s advantage. It means that a customer can standardize on one KEB hardware platform and they are covered for a number of different situations.
KEB’s HMI and Router products are no different. Here is a list of all supported KEB HMI and router drivers – over 40 supported and counting.
