Welcome to CX-Supervisor
CX-Supervisor is dedicated to the design and operation of PC based visualisation and machine
control. It is not only simple to use for small supervisory and control tasks, but it also offers a wealth
of power for the design of the most sophisticated applications. CX-Supervisor boasts powerful
functions for a wide range of PC based HMI requirements. Simple applications can be created rapidly
with the aid of a large number of predefined functions and libraries, and even very complex
