What is an HMI PLC all-in-one device?
An HMI PLC all-in-one is a compact control solution that combines a human-machine interface (HMI) with a built-in programmable logic controller (PLC). It allows users to visualise and control machine processes from a single device with various IO capabilities.
What screen sizes are available for HMI PLC touch screen panels?
IPD offers HMI PLC touch screen panels in a full range of sizes, including 4”, 7” HMI touch screens, 9”, 10” HMI panels, 12”, and 15”. This variety of HMI LCD displays for space-restricted environments. These HMI LCD displays deliver responsive touch performance and sharp resolution, making them suitable for both machine-level and process control.
What are the benefits of using an HMI with inbuilt PLC?
Using an HMI with inbuilt PLC reduces wiring complexity, panel space, and system cost. It simplifies programming and commissioning, as both the interface and logic control are handled in one unit.
Which applications suit small HMI panels with PLC?
Small HMI panels with PLC functionality are perfect for compact machinery, skid systems, or decentralised control in industrial environments. The FT2J features two CPU's working in parallel for the PLC and HMI. This design enables high-speed, real-time control without compromising HMI functionality, broadening the range of compatible applications.
