The Application Manager and Application Viewer in AVEVA InTouch HMI are two different user interfaces that serve different purposes.
The Application Manager is a software tool used to create and modify HMI applications. It provides a visual interface for designing and configuring screens, objects, and animations, as well as for creating and managing tags, security profiles, and data logs.
The Application Viewer, on the other hand, is the actual HMI runtime environment that displays process data and provides access to control functions. It is used to monitor and interact with process data in real-time, and it provides a graphical interface for process control and monitoring.
The main difference between the Application Manager and Application Viewer is their purpose and functionality. The Application Manager is used to design and configure HMI applications, while the Application Viewer is used to view and interact with process data in real-time.
An Application Manager is typically used by system administrators who are responsible for managing multiple systems. They use an Application Manager to install, uninstall, and update applications across all of the systems they manage. This allows them to ensure that all of the systems they manage are up-to-date and running the latest versions of the applications they need to use.
On the other hand, an Application Viewer is typically used by individual users who want to see what applications are installed on their own system. An Application Viewer allows users to view a list of all the applications that are installed on their system, and it may provide additional information about each application, such as the version number, publisher, and installation date.
In summary, the Application Manager is a software tool used to create and modify HMI applications, while the Application Viewer is the HMI runtime environment that displays process data and provides access to control functions.
