The terms "Runtime" and "Development" in the context of AVEVA InTouch HMI refer to two different modes of using the software.
1. Development Mode (or Development Environment):
This is the mode used by developers or engineers to create and configure the graphical user interface (GUI) and visualization elements in the InTouch HMI system. In the development mode, the user can access all the tools and resources necessary to build, test, and deploy the HMI screens, animations, and graphics.
2. Runtime Mode (or Operational Mode):
This is the mode used by operators or end-users to interact with the InTouch HMI system. In the runtime mode, the user can monitor and control processes and access process data and alarms. The interface is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, allowing the operator to quickly and easily understand the status of the process and take appropriate action if needed.
In summary, the development mode is used to create and configure the HMI system, while the runtime mode is used by operators to interact with the system in real-time. The difference between the runtime and development modes in AVEVA InTouch HMI is similar to the difference between the runtime and development modes in other HMI systems.
