Why Choose the ABB PB610-R Panel Builder 600 Runtime Software?
The ABB PB610-R is dedicated Panel Builder 600 HMI runtime software for Windows-based PCs, designed to run HMI applications created using ABB PB610 Panel Builder 600 on a compatible computer rather than a dedicated operator panel. It provides machine builders, system integrators and automation engineers with a flexible PC-based platform for industrial visualisation, monitoring and operator control.
PB610-R is fully compatible with PB610 Panel Builder 600 applications, allowing graphical HMI projects developed within the ABB engineering environment to be deployed to a Windows PC. This provides access to the functionality of the PB610 HMI platform while taking advantage of the processing power, display options and interfaces available on an industrial or other compatible PC.
Supplied as an ABB Panel Builder 600 Runtime licence, PB610-R supports industrial communication protocols according to the interfaces available on the host computer. The software can be installed through ABB Automation Builder and its licence is activated using the ABB Automation Builder License Manager.

Flexible PC-Based HMI Runtime for Industrial Automation
HMI runtime software such as ABB PB610-R provides the environment required to execute a completed operator-interface project on the target computer. Engineers can develop graphical applications using PB610 Panel Builder 600 and then run those applications on a compatible Windows-based PC using PB610-R, providing operators with access to machine controls, process information and automation data.
Using a PC as the HMI platform can provide additional flexibility for applications requiring larger displays, PC hardware or interfaces suited to the automation system. PB610-R uses the communication capabilities available on the host computer, enabling the runtime application to exchange information with compatible PLCs and other industrial devices using supported protocols.
Typical Applications
- PC-based industrial HMI systems.
- Machine visualisation and operator control.
- Factory and production line monitoring.
- PLC-based automation systems.
- Process monitoring and control applications.
- Industrial PC operator stations.
- OEM machinery and machine-building applications.
- Automation system supervision and data visualisation.
