Text Displays, Operator Panels and Touch Panels are now available from
Hitachi. This new line of HMIs, branded EH-HMI, is customized for Hitachi's PLC and
Frequency Inverter series. In addition, it includes drivers for other brands, such as
Siemens' S5 and S7 and Groupe Schneider's PLCs.Hitachi's EH-HMI series offers optimal support for the visualization and
control of automated processes. High-resolution graphic displays, which are legible even
in insufficiently illuminated environments, and dust- and splash-proof covers provide the
units with the necessary robustness for an industrial environment.
Another clear advantage for the user: all 11 panels are
programmed with one software, EH-VIEW.
EH-VIEW is a Windows-based application using a flexible,
"WYSIWYG" editor (What you see is what you get). The user-friendly, interactive
programming environment facilitates the addition of text, variables, graphics, touchcells
and further elements.
EH-VIEW's sophisticated recipe capability supports the
storing of recipes and downloading of project parameters. Recipe upload allows for
"ideal" parameters to be captured and loaded directly from the PLC to the panel.
The integrated trending support delivers real-time analyses
and data, which the user needs to manage the application optimally.
Fieldbus interfaces are available for Profibus-DP,
Interbus, CANopen, DeviceNet and Ethernet. The panels are prepared for global use thanks
to their user-guided language selection. |
