When it comes to configuration software (HMI/SCADA), we have to mention InTouch, which is the originator of global configuration software and one of the three most popular configuration software in the world today. What has become of this configuration software, which was born in 1987? Today we will take a look at the latest development of this software.

Configuration software, that is, configuration monitoring software system software, translated from English SCADA (Data Acquisition and Monitoring Control). Using configuration software, users can quickly build an automatic control system monitoring system with monitoring, control and management functions through a similar “building blocks” configuration method (rather than programming). Configuration software is widely used in industry, especially in the fields of power, water, petroleum, chemical and other fields of data acquisition and monitoring control and process control, the most common application.

InTouch configuration software, which is the world’s first industrial monitoring software running on the Windows operating system, is also one of the earliest configuration software to enter China.

InTouch is a product of Wonderware, a subsidiary of Invensys UK, and the first 1.0 version was released in 1989. In the more than 30 years since its birth, InTouch has followed the growth of Microsoft’s operating system and has developed into a “golden sign” in the field of industrial monitoring.

In 2013, Schneider Electric acquired Invensys, and in 2017, Schneider Electric’s software business was merged into AVEVA. In this way, InTouch has also become an important product of AVEVA InTouch HMI. It is currently used in more than one-third of the world’s industrial facilities, in almost all countries and industries.

Here, we will take you through the functions, features and latest developments of InTouch, the well-known configuration software in the industry.
