MDC-Max Web Client

The MDC-Max Web Client allows users to access Operator Screens via a Web browser, Tablet, or a Smart phone. The Web Client does not feature all the functionalities in the desktop version of the MDC-Max Client. Currently it only makes it possible for machine operators to use Operator Screens as known from the desktop version.

Configuring Operator Screens

The Web Client reads the configuration created by the desktop MDC-Max Client. This means you configure the operator screens in the same way as the desktop Client. (See section "Setting up Operator Screens for Downtime Reasons" in the MDC-Max Configuration Manual).
