VisuNet RM Shell is an innovative thin client firmware pre-installed on every Pepperl+Fuchs VisuNet Remote Monitor (RM) and box thin client. It is engineered by Pepperl+Fuchs to simplify thin client setup and operation of virtualized and conventional workstation-based process control systems. RM Shell replaces the Windows® desktop and reduces the user interface to critical system functions.
Predefined user roles (administrator, engineer, and operator) provide tailored information access to different authorization levels. An app concept allows integration of third-party remote protocols and applications—this enables OEMs to integrate their own apps and adapt VisuNet RMs to their own automation infrastructure.
Usability meets security: Features such as a universal write filter (UWF), USB lockdown, and a built-in Ethernet firewall make VisuNet RMs one of the securest HMI solutions on the market.
VisuNet Control Center takes the usability of VisuNet RMs to the next level by enabling efficient, centralized remote configuration of multiple RMs. This engineering software prevents IT personnel from having to enter hazardous locations for setup and maintenance of systems in the field—everything can be done from the control room.
Latest generation firmware for VisuNet Remote Monitors and Box Thin Clients (BTCs)
The VisuNet RM Shell 6 with additional Control Center software allows for remote managing of multiple devices from a centralized workstation, eliminating the need to enter the field physically. RM Shell 6 is based on Microsoft® Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC and supports all common protocols.
Firmware for VisuNet Remote Monitors and Box Thin Clients
Paired with VisuNet Control Center software, RM Shell enables centralized management of VisuNet RMs. RM Shell 5 is based on Windows® 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC, and it supports all common protocols as well as the installation of third-party applications.
Latest generation software for centralized remote configuration of VisuNet RMs and box thin clients
VisuNet Control Center 6 allows all HMI systems with RM Shell 6 to be managed from a central location. This prevents administrators from having to enter hazardous areas and cleanrooms to set up or maintain an RM or box thin client. Access to the devices is granted from a central location, saving time and costs.
