Operating system | Web browser |

Microsoft | Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, |
macOS: | Apple Safari |

CONTROL L uses the same user login as the Java visualisation.
Important information
What elements are supported in CONTROL L?
With respect to the visualisation elements, there are differences as to what functions are shown in the JAVA CONTROL (Java-based) and CONTROL L (web-based) visualisation. Please refer to the corresponding display in the editor to see which elements can be used for CONTROL L.
Establishing a connection / Simultaneous connections
The simultaneous connections of the CONTROL L visualisation are determined by the following general conditions:
Number of visualisation elements on one page
Number of telegrams per second
Number of jobs to be executed.
Number of network-based services to be executed.
The higher the number of the conditions listed above, the less resources the EIBPORT can allocate to the connection requests of the different CONTROL L visualisation clients. During average use, the EIBPORT can serve 10 to 20 CONTROL L clients simultaneously.
iOS devices: "Add to home screen" function
On iOS devices, the CONTROL L visualisation can be easily used in a similar way to an app. For this purpose, a direct link is provided on the home screen of the device and the visualisation is started without browser address line.
