Usb Driver: Mcgs Hmi

MCGS (Modular Configurable Graphical System), widely distributed by Kinco (China) and Weinview (Taiwan), is one of the most popular HMI (Human-Machine Interface) brands in industrial automation. Whether you are using the older TPC series or the newer TK/MT series, connecting your HMI to a PC for program download or project transfer requires a proper USB driver.
