The slim PLC controller of the DISPLAY VISIONS PLC series already has the touch display integrated. In addition, it can be connected wirelessly to up to 50 satellite displays. This allows processes to be monitored and controlled regardless of location.
Normally, programming small controllers and reading their parameters involves a certain amount of effort. Not so with the PLC series from DISPLAY VISIONS. A color touch display is already integrated in the central control unit, the “Core”. The brilliant, 2.8-inch IPS panel is easy to read from almost any viewing angle (reading angle 170°) and even in direct sunlight. It not only displays the measurement and process data, but is also used to enter control commands and operating parameters thanks to its touch-sensitive surface. The Core has eight digital inputs 0..24 V, 4 analog inputs (4 20 mA and 0 10 V) and 4 relay outputs. It communicates via the RS-485 or Ethernet interface and can also be accessed wirelessly via WLAN. Up to 50 satellite terminals can be automatically connected to the central control unit. Depending on the complexity of the input and output data, satellites with different display sizes are available. From the almost postage stamp-sized 1.5-inch display with 240×240 pixels to the 10.1-inch panel with a resolution of 1,280×800 pixels. The satellites automatically synchronize with the core in real time and can be individually configured. For example, operating data for service can be displayed in one place, while work preparation enters new parameters on their satellite in another place.
All touch and display functions can be freely programmed using the free Windows tool “PLC Designer” WYSIWYG. Numerous prefabricated elements support the creation of individual and even animated pages.
