New compact PLC with satelite displays
MMS Electronics Ltd is introducing new compact PLC control units from DISPLAY VISIONS. These innovative controllers are designed to be particularly communicative, the central control unit has a colour touchscreen display and can address up to 50 remote satellite displays. Imagine visualizing data, tweaking parameters, and wielding control over your smart home or industrial systems – all from various vantage points. These ingenious PLCs make it a reality.
The PLC central control unit, “PLC-Core”, is simple to use and displays your measurement and process data on a brilliant 2.8 inch IPS display with a PCAP touch panel to enter control commands and parameters.
The PLCC28-D8I4R4 is networked with the satellite displays automatically via Ethernet, RS-485 or Wi-Fi. The measured values and parameters are updated automatically.
The satellite terminals are not linked to one location; instead they are assigned via software, allowing you to visualise process data via any of the connected display, or enter parameter data via a different device. Depending on the complexity of the input and output data, users can choose different sizes displays for the satellite displays.
EA PLCS43-DS a 4.3″ display is the first size to be made available. The product range will soon be expanded to seven display sizes ranging from 2” to 10.1”. All display satellites have a high quality, high brightness IPS display that stand out with excellent readability, even in sunlight, and a wide 160 degrees viewing angle. Wall, flush-mount and top-hat rail mounting options are available.
The PLC-Core EA PLCC28-D8I4R4 offers 8 digital inputs, 4 relay outputs, 4 analogue inputs (0-10V or 4-20mA), Real-Time Clock, RS-232. The RS-485, Wi-Fi and Ethernet are reserved for communication with the satellite displays. The supply voltage is 12-24V. The PLC-Core is designed for top-hat rail mounting and can be installed effortlessly in a control cabinet.
The PLC is programmed with the free PLCdesigner tool for Windows™. This user-friendly software boasts a drag-and-drop interface. The software is packed with many ready-made elements, letting you build custom pages in a flash.
MMS Electronics also supplies 4.3” Modbus displays with PCAP touch-panel EA HMI043LM-42ATCS designed to work seamlessly with PLCs from industry leaders like Allen Bradley, Beckhoff, Mitsubishi FX, Siemens, Omron and Unitronics. This 4.3” Modbus HMI feature a high-brightness IPS display for exceptional readability, even in harsh sunlight. Boasting a stunning 1,000 cd/m² brightness and wide 170° viewing angle, this display ensures your content is clear and crisp in any environment.
Both the EA HMI043LM-42ATCS and EA HMI043WM-42ATCS offer flexible Modbus/TCP and RTU communication options. The HMI043LM-42ATCS connects via LAN and RS-485, while the HMI043WM-42ATCS adds Wi-Fi connectivity to the RS-485 interface.
These Modbus HMI displays are easy to power and work with any standard DC power supply between 5 and 30 volts.
