Key Features & Benefits

• High-Visibility Color Display:

• TFT LCD Technology: Features a 5.7-inch active-matrix TFT display capable of showing 65,536 colors, providing clear visualization of process variables, alarms, and trends.
• High Resolution: With a QVGA (320 x 240) resolution, it offers crisp text and detailed graphics, significantly improving operability over older monochrome displays.
• Adjustable Backlight: White LED backlight with 16-level brightness adjustment via software or touch keys, extending lamp life to over 50,000 hours (at 25°C).

• Powerful Performance & Connectivity:

• High-Speed CPU: Equipped with a GED669 processor, offering significantly faster screen switching and data processing compared to previous generations, capable of handling animations and complex recipe management smoothly.
• Multi-Protocol Communication: Comes standard with Ethernet (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) for data acquisition and remote monitoring. It also supports RS-232C and RS-422/485 for direct PLC connection.
• Peripheral Support: Includes USB 2.0 (Type-A and Mini-B) ports for connecting printers, barcode scanners, or mice, and an SD card slot for program backup, firmware updates, and data logging.

• Rugged & Reliable Design:

• IP65F Front Panel: The front panel is rated IP65F (dust-tight and protected against water jets), making it suitable for washdown environments and oily factory floors. It is also certified for NEMA 4X, 12, and 13.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Operates reliably in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), with storage capability from -20°C to 60°C.
• Shock & Vibration Resistance: Designed to withstand the mechanical stresses of industrial environments, complying with IEC/EN61131-2 standards for vibration and shock.

• Advanced Functionality:

• Web Server Capability: The Ethernet port allows the HMI to act as a web server, enabling operators to monitor and control the machine via a standard web browser on a PC or tablet without special software.
• Remote HMI Support: Compatible with Pro-face Remote HMI software, allowing control via tablets or smartphones over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
• Data Logging: With the SD card slot and large internal memory, it can log historical data for predictive maintenance and quality control.
