Click2Contact

Industrial automation supplier IDEC Corporation has introduced the 4.3″ LCD screen size HG1P handheld human-machine interface (HMI).

The HMI can enhance operator interactions for automated machine tending and robotics applications.

At 500 g and with contoured hand grips, a hand strap and a hanging-wall bracket, the ergonomic design makes it comfortable for long-duration and fatigue-free use by technicians and engineers.

It also features high-resolution TFT colour LCD touch panel displays at 480x272 pixels to provide clear visualisation while only consuming 3 W.

The touchscreen is bordered with 12 physical momentary function keys (F1 to F12) with click-feedback which write to internal memory bits within the HMI.

The HG1P is configured with the same WindO/I-NV4 software as other products offered in the IDEC HMI portfolio, which has multiple language functions built in.

Connectivity to automation platforms is via a standard 19-pin connector, using optional cables from IDEC up to 7 m long or user-created cables up to 15 m long, which are easily replaced if damaged.

The cable transmits power, hardwired signals and digital communications.

Available in both serial and Ethernet models, the HG1P supports major industrial communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, FTP client, FTP server, webserver and user communication.
