M&B Systems uses several different styles of keypads and touch screens for
use with our controllers, depending on the customers needs.
There are several different manufacturers we have had experience
with. There are PC based
touch
screens operating with Windows XP, and be running Iwatch2
graphics and using Modbus RTU protocol. We also have units
using PC touch screens with Windows 2000 and running Rockwell
Software (RS View) making use of the Ethernet Modbus Protocol.
Maple Systems offers
three different types of stand alone keypads and touchscreens, which
use the Modbus port on the PcmNet to read and write date to and from
the controller.
The 2 line display, OIT3160B can store up to 500
user-definable screens. Each screen can display as little or as much
information as you choose. There is no wasted space – you have
control over the entire
screen. The following screen types are available to help you clearly
communicate to the operator. With the ability to embed up to
25 controller register monitors anywhere in each screen, message
screens can convey information to the operator in an easy to read
format while allowing the operator to change data in the controller.
In addition, message screens can be chained together to form
messages longer than the display size.
The 4 line display, the OIT3175A offer an innovative new
feature that allows you to choose the exact keys that your
application requires. In the past, you had to search for an operator
interface terminal with
just the right combination of keys; and when you couldn't find the
perfect keypad layout, you had to settle for something different.
Now, with the user-definable keypad feature standard on the
OIT3175A, it is easy to have the exact keypad layout you want;
whether that includes function keys, a number pad, no keys at all,
or almost any combination you can think of.
The 6"
Touch Screen may be inexpensive, but that doesn't mean we
compromised on features. With a 256-color bright TFT display, 4-wire
analog resistive Touch Screen and 2 MB Flash PROM, the HMI520H can do
everything our other models do with the same power and speed.
We've made it easy to connect the HMI520H in any way you might need.
The HMI520H can be connected in a daisy-chain HMI to HMI format. And
with seamless support for more than 80 controller families from
industry-leading manufacturers, as well as the Modbus RTU protocol,
our HMI520H can be connected to the controllers you use.
The 256-color display allows you to create bright, eye-catching
graphics. Import colorful bitmaps with 256-color images and scale
them to the size you want. Available transparent coloring allows you
to layer objects for more interesting and informative displays.
With 4-wire, analog resistive technology you can create or import
fully scalable graphics that can be sized down to the pixel. Place
objects anywhere on the screen without being limited to touch-cell
placement. Our technology allows you to create the screens you want
exactly the way you want them.
The HMI520H offers all the space for all the screens you need.

Like
the price, but not so sure 6" is enough space? Use pop-up
windows to expand the capacity of your screens. Place graphs,
input devices and meters in pop-up windows you can open and
close with a touch. Up to six pop-up windows can be open at a
time.
