Patented HMI on-line edit, No downtime 
Watch it in action.
All HMIs except for EZtouch, require the machine or process to be shut down to make a change in the HMI program. While a new program is being uploaded to the HMI, it is non-functional and hence the machine can’t be allowed to operate during this time. Every time the HMI program is edited, there is machine down time of typically an hour. All EZTouch series HMIs have a patented on-line edit exceptionally innovative feature that allows the HMI program to be edited without the machine missing a beat.
Easiest Integrated HMI and PLC Drag-n-Drop PLC programming software, common to all models
There is a reason why our company is called EZAutomation and our HMI is called EZTouch. We make it so easy to learn our programming language that no user, hundreds of thousands so far, thank you, ever had to attend any class to learn the programming. Most of our competitor’s products, like from Rockwell, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Unitronics, Schneider, Maple and others require a 3-5 day class to learn how to program their products. Our programming language is so intuitive and so simple that the design time for any screen and the entire project is reduced to hours instead of days. PLC software is equally intuitive, simple drag and drop as if you are drawing a ladder diagram. It has great function blocks, project simulation and troubleshooting features. The programing software is fully integrated into one for EZTouch.miniPLC. Additionally note that the Integrated Programming Software is universal and scalable for all models from top to the bottom.
Highest Reliability and Noise Immunity in industry.

All models have EZ Wifi $49 option to connect to your laptop without cable
This tiny little module that plugs into one of the serial ports in the EZTouch.miniPLC (we recommend installing on every unit) allows a programmer to connect his/her laptop to it without a cable. So many times, it is not so easy to reach the Operator console to connect the programming cable to the HMI/PLC. Combination of our patented On-Line Edit feature and EZminiWifi becomes an exceptionally innovative solution to making changes on HMI screens and PLC ladder logic without having to open up the control cabinet and connecting the Programming cable.
Fastest touch response time of any HMI
All EZTouch HMIs have a super fast response time of less than ½ of a second, that is the response to touching any object on the screen is instantaneous. Its two to four times faster than any other HMI.

You wouldn’t buy a PLC today |
...So why should you have to buy a Touch |
|
|
1. After a machine upgrade including a new
PLC and Operator Interface, our System
Integrator asked the Machine Operator what
he would like to see better yet. The Operator
said the new “computer” was great with all
the colors but he missed the old pressure
gauge.
2. Our System Integrator immediately pulled
out his notebook computer, hooked it up to
the Touch panel, launched his programming
software and put it in On-Line mode.
3. And then, right in front of the operator’s eyes,
moved the other objects on the screen and
put an Analog Meter exactly to the operator’s
color taste, without ever having to shut down
the machine.
4. All this took less than 2 minutes.
Operator: “Now that is nice!”
Let’s get these on all the
machines.”
