CONTROL SYSTEMS

Display panel with brilliant screen and fast response

The SpiderControl AutomationBrowser from iniNet Solutions contains many other features in addition to standard functions. This means that older web HMIs based on Java applets and no longer supported by common browsers can be used, for example CODESYS Webvisu V2.x. The AutomationBrowser can be used universally and offers many advantages. For more information contact Vepac Electronics, +27 11 454 8053, sales@vepac.co.za, www.vepac.co.za

The new HTLM5 WebPanel series from Vepac Electronics impresses with its brilliant display and very fast response during operation. With front protection class IP65, and additional features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB and RS232, the panels are the right solution for almost all industrial applications. With the many different display sizes, you can find the optimal user interface for your machines. They have a projected capacitive display for multi-touch operation and are also available without touch. The displays are available in sizes from 18 to 60 cm, with a wide variety

of aspect ratios. Either an Android 10.0 or Linux platform is available for installing your own apps or software packages. The AutomationBrowser is available for operation with a fast response. The powerful series of fanless WebPanels features a brilliant full-screen display, simple and intuitive operation, and fast page switching. To make commissioning particularly easy and time-saving, the AutomationBrowser comes already pre-installed and ready to use. The very low installation depth of 60 mm maximum enables use in small installation spaces.

Systems for mobile machines

The interface equipment is perfectly matched to its typical applications. The CAN bus, which is important for mobile machines, is always integrated with its various protocols. An Ethernet or USB interface is also available. Six freely programmable, backlit function keys and a rocker switch with a central confirmation button are available for user input. All of these operating elements are easy to use, even when wearing gloves. The 1,4 GHz ARM dual-core processor and 1 GB RAM provide enough power to implement even the most demanding visualisations. The user can program these very easily with CODESYS 3.5 and has access to a comprehensive ifm library of

software modules. Alternatively, the Linux-based operating system can be used for visualisation via Qt. The die-cast aluminium housing of the ecomatDisplay complies with its high IP67 protection rating. EMC, resistance to extreme temperature fluctuations, shock, vibration and other tests and certifications make the device ideal for use in construction equipment, machines for agriculture and forestry, municipal vehicles, or machines for transport and logistics.

With the new compact ecomatDisplay with a screen diagonal of 11 cm, ifm electronic is setting new standards in the human machine interface. A high-resolution display and good readability even at extreme viewing angles or in difficult lighting conditions are just two of the advantages of the new display that are particularly important for use in mobile devices. It is the perfect choice when many interfaces and high performance are required and space is at a premium. The 11 cm device with high-resolution display, 16 million colours and good readability ensures clear exchange of information in every situation.
