This graphic also defines some of the terms used in this documentation:
Controller
Terminal
The controller is where Automation Runtime runs together with
the application, which handles a wide variety of control tasks. A
mapp View server configured with Automation Studio can pro-
vide the HMI application.
The web browser integrated in the terminal handles the display
of the HMI application (e.g. mapp View) on the device display.
The HMI application can be obtained from any web server.
Automation Runtime
Terminal OS
Automation Runtime, the operating system on the controller,
provides the basis for the application and a stable runtime envi-
ronment for the control tasks.
Terminal OS is the operating system of the terminal and pro-
vides technologies for visualization and communication with the
web server.
mapp View server
HMI application
A mapp View server provides an HMI application that is suit-
able for the control tasks. The web standards used allow it to
be displayed on different output devices.
Visualization on the display is handled by the integrated web
browser, which can display both a mapp View HMI application
as well as any HTML application.
