Simple yet Powerful: The zenon programming interface
zenon can master many tasks and offers many possibilities for adaptation to meet even the most varied requirements. It can be easily configured without any programming knowledge – but it is also open to individual expansions. Users have the option to access and build on the many functions of zenon directly, via the zenon programming interface. The zenon programming interface is the main reason why zenon can be integrated so reliably into existing equipment and be expanded so creatively.![]()
zenon Chameleon Technology: Skins promote better usability in Runtime
Some demands from project-engineers can only be met after much effort, for example:
Projects that should offer not only excellent automation but also meet corporate design requirementsChanges to the lighting environment where Runtime is usedDifferentiating simulations from live processes at first glance
Now this has changed: the COPA-DATA experts are delivering new possibilities in automation with central, switchable color palettes.
zenon Chameleon Technology brings skins, familiar from consumer entertainment devices, to the panels of automation equipment. By using them, projects from several suppliers can be united into an umbrella project with a common look and feel.
Operators with red-green visual impairments can simply use colors that they can easily recognize. Or, if the graphics on a panel are suddenly no longer clearly visible due to the glare of the midday sun, the user can switch to high-contrast colors. Plus, a simulation can run in completely different colors to the live application.
Skins make operation easier under difficult lighting conditions and ensure more security and higher productivity. However, they can also implement corporate design requirements with a few mouse clicks and thus make the engineering process quicker.
You can read more about zenon Chameleon Technology in the COPA-DATA white paper.
And you can download the first five pre-configured skins from the customer area as XML files

Excellence in visualization and control:
The new HMI SCADA software zenon 6.50
Your automation can do more; it has much more potential to reduce costs, increase productivity and to generate more profit. But just think of easier operation, which saves time and reduces errors and training costs. Think of really efficient engineering, which consistently reuses an object once it has been designed. Think of engineers who can simply integrate all desired designs from graphics professional and only then concentrate on their actual task. Think of seamless integration of your own developments and the advantages of simulation for training and project integration. Think of zenon 6.50 - our new HMI SCADA software.![]()
