Image cloning is a process of creating an exact copy of an image, which includes all the configuration settings, applications, data, and other system files required to run the image. This cloned image can then be easily transferred to other devices, allowing for quick and efficient deployment of a standardized configuration.
In industrial automation and control systems, image cloning is commonly used for Human Machine Interface (HMI) devices. This helps to ensure consistency and uniformity across multiple devices, reducing the potential for errors or discrepancies between them.
