VisuNet RM Shell 6 is the latest generation firmware for VisuNet Remote Monitors and Box Thin Clients from Pepperl+Fuchs. Using standard Ethernet technology, the software communicates with the process control system or MES and enables users to conveniently control and monitor their processes and plants.

VisuNet Control Center is an add-on software for users of VisuNet RM Shell. In combination with the RM Shell firmware, the innovative software tool enables centralized management of VisuNet HMI systems from a central location. Users no longer need to enter hazardous areas or clean rooms to configure or maintain remote monitors or box thin clients.
