PANEL BUILDER 800 SOFTWARE​

Create, configure and deploy intuitive HMI applications for the entire Panel 800 family. With Panel Builder 800 and Panel 800 Runtime, you can engineer once and deploy to operator panels or standard Windows PCs using the same application.​

ENGINEER ONCE. DEPLOY EVERYWHERE ​

Panel Builder 800 is the engineering software used to create, configure and maintain HMI applications for the Panel 800 family. A single project can be deployed directly to Panel 800 operator panels or to a Windows-based PC using Panel 800 Runtime.​

This flexible approach simplifies engineering, reduces duplication and enables a consistent operator experience across your plant.​

DEPLOY TO PANELS, PCS AND CONTROL ROOMS​

Applications created in Panel Builder 800 can be deployed across a range of operating environments, from local machine HMIs and operator panels to centralized control room workstations using Panel 800 Runtime.​

  1. Main / Secondary HMI (1) - Panel 800 operator panels provide an intuitive and reliable HMI solution for machine, process and automation applications. They can be deployed as the primary operator interface or as a complementary HMI within larger automation systems.​

  2. PC-based HMI with Panel 800 Runtime (2) - Using Panel 800 Runtime and dedicated license dongles, applications created in Panel Builder 800 can run on a standard Windows PC. This enables the same application to be reused across operator panels, workstations and control room environments.​

  3. Local HMI / Gateway (3) - Panel 800 can act as a local HMI and communication gateway, helping operators monitor and interact with controllers and automation systems from ABB and third-party suppliers.​

  4. Local / Field HMI (4) - Panel 800 ruggedized operator panels are designed for operation closer to the process, providing reliable monitoring and control in demanding industrial environments.​

PANEL 800 RUNTIME​

Panel 800 Runtime enables applications created in Panel Builder 800 to run on standard Windows PCs, delivering the same HMI experience beyond dedicated operator panels. ​

​

Ideal for:​

  • Control room workstations​

  • Large-screen visualization​

  • Extended desktop environments​

  • Centralized monitoring and control​

  • Remote operation and maintenance​

  • Mid-sized SCADA applications​

​Supporting up to 4,000 signals or tags, Panel 800 Runtime enables engineering teams to reuse existing applications while maintaining a consistent operator experience across the plant.​
