Additional Terminal and Controller Designs with Touchscreen



B&R has added two series to its Power Panel HMI family - Power Panel T-Series terminals and Power Panel C-Series controllers - both featuring touchscreens. Equipped with an embedded browser, the Power Panel T30 terminal is fully Web compatible and can also be used as a VNC client. The terminal series is being offered with four TFT display sizes, ranging from 4.3" to 10.1", and comes with two Ethernet interfaces, two USB ports and an array of configuration options.

The Power Panel C70 controller is equipped with a 333 MHz Intel Atom CPU, 256 MB DDRAM, 16 KB FRAM and 2 GB onboard flash EEPROM memory. This controller provides a built-in touchscreen and is offered in three display sizes ranging from 5.7" to 10.1". In addition to achieving cycle times as low as 1 ms, the Power Panel C70 also features POWERLINK and standard Ethernet, 2x USB 2.0 and X2X Link technology as well as optional RS232, RS485 and CAN connections to offer a range of possibilities for peripheral devices.

According to the company, both of these device series feature a compact design, minimal installation depth and an intelligent cable outlet arrangement for easy mounting. "Because these two new series do not have hard disks, fans or batteries, they are completely maintenance-free," said a company spokesperson. "The panel front provides IP65 protection, which makes these systems suitable for hygienic applications."
