Introducing iX 3.3 - a new generation of smarter, safer, and sharper HMI engineering.

iX 3.3 is more than an update - it’s a full new version built to elevate your HMI workflow. From structured data handling and next‑level security to streamlined file transfer, refreshed UI elements, and crisp SVG graphics, this release delivers meaningful improvements for engineers and operators alike. Designed around real user feedback and modern industrial demands, iX 3.3 sets a new standard for clarity, control, and performance across your applications.

Structured Tags - a smarter, more organized way to work with your data

With this update, users can now import OPC UA and Siemens tags in a fully structured format, making it easier to navigate complex tag sets and laying the foundation for future Object Alias functionality.This means cleaner projects, faster engineering, and a far more intuitive workflow when handling large or hierarchical tag models. It’s a significant step toward more scalable and maintainable applications in iX.

Enhanced security built directly into your HMI workflow

iX3.3 introduces a more powerful and flexible security configuration, giving you tighter control over who can access, view, or modify critical functions. With role‑based permissions, user groups, password policies, and secure runtime authentication, you can protect key operations without adding complexity to your engineering work. These new capabilities make it easier to manage users, safeguard sensitive actions, and align your application with modern security expectations - including an important step toward meeting DNV SP1 requirements for marine applications.

File Transfer update

iX 3.3 introduces a powerful new capability: the ability to fetch reports directly from an HMI panel using the Transfer Client CLI. This enhancement gives engineers and service teams a way to retrieve application files, logs, and user‑generated documents without opening iX Developer. With this feature, automated workflows become easier to build, remote maintenance becomes more efficient, and file handling across large fleets of panels becomes dramatically simpler. A small feature with big impact, designed to save time, reduce manual steps, and strengthen operational control.

Alarm icon update

We have redesigned the alarm icon to deliver a cleaner, more modern look that feels at home in both dark and bright mode. The updated design improves visibility, aligns with today’s UI expectations, and makes alarms easier to spot at a glance - no matter how you prefer to work.

SVG support for sharper graphics and scalable clarity

iX3.3 adds full support for SVG graphics, giving you crisp, resolution‑independent visuals across every screen size. SVGs stay sharp in any zoom level or display format, making your interfaces look cleaner and more professional. With scalable icons, symbols, and illustrations, you can design modern HMIs that load faster, adapt effortlessly, and maintain perfect visual quality throughout the entire application.
