I am using codesys HMI to control and display values on a mobile machine, i am planning to use a windows laptop as the machine interface, is it possible to boot the computer directly into the HMI application triggered by the 'ignition on' of the machine and then following that shutting the computer down with ignition off?
thanks

When powering on the laptop, you should use the Windows functionality to automatically login with a user. Then you should start the HMI when the user is logged in. This is all Windows related functionality.
Probably it is best to use a UPS to correctly shut down the laptop when the power of the machine is turned off.

Thanks for your reply, the preference would be to have the machine ignition supply to somehow boot up the PC so the user would not have to toggle the computer power each time the machine is started/stopped.
How is this possible?
Thankyou
