The High-Performance Series brings performance to a whole new level with advanced features and intuitive software. The best value in the market, these high-quality touchscreens offer flexible solutions and remote access and control for your HMI applications.
Controls and Connectivity
Direct control by these HMIs is enabled by adding discrete or analog I/O expansion modules. The 5.7” model accepts up to two modules, while the 8.4”, 10.4” and 12.1” models accept up to four modules. Programming to sense inputs and drive outputs is accomplished withiSn the HMI software, providing a space saving all-in-one automation solution.
USB, Ethernet and SD Card
USB, Ethernet and SD memory card ports deliver comprehensive connectivity, while two unique video-in and audio-out ports on all but the 5.7” model enable offer additional flexibility.
High Speed CPU
The faster processor means that these touchscreens have quick operation and response times, as well as exceptional performance. Not to mention, start-up is 3 seconds from power on, so you can start working without delay.
Features and Functionality
BACnet Protocol
- – BACnet is a communication protocol for Building Automation and Control (BAC) networks
- – For monitoring, controlling, maintaining building devices
- – IDEC touchscreens support BACnet/IP using Ethernet in physical layer
Multiple Protocols – Support of four PLC protocols
- Support multiple protocols—connects up to four PLC protocols simultaneously. Using one HMI to communicate with different brands (or manufacturers) of PLCs in a system saves time and money. The touchscreen acts as a communication gateway between multiple devices allowing data to easily pass between devices.
- IDEC supports over 100 Serial and Networking drivers, including BACnet IP, Modbus RTU Master/Slave and Modbus TCP/IP Client and Server.
