Enhanced 14,5 cm TFT HMI is clearer

10 August 2005 Computer/Embedded Technology

Omron has introduced a new model to its NS series of HMIs (human machine interfaces). The new 14,5 cm TFT model has a screen that provides an even better viewing angle than the standard STN versions, and has enhanced screen clarity, making the display readable from a longer distance.

The NS5-TFT uses exactly the same project data as the company's 14,5 cm STN and monochrome versions, allowing any existing applications to be re-used without the need to make any changes. In addition, it provides the same high amount of memory (20 MB) as the other NS-series models, enabling users to make full use of graphics (32 768 colours) and so enhance the ease of use for operators.

For faster system-set-up and commissioning, and for simpler maintenance and troubleshooting, the NS5-TFT allows use of Omron's Smart Active Parts - pre-programmed, pre-tested visualisation objects with embedded communication code that bring 'drag-and-drop' simplicity to system design. Automating the communication with 'smart' field devices such as temperature controllers, inverters and motion controllers, Smart Active Parts can be used to configure, commission, operate and maintain these devices without the need to write a single line of code.

As well as simplifying set-up and operation of devices, the NS5-TFT also provides enhanced data logging capabilities, enabling users to monitor, log and store the temperatures of 32 directly-connected temperature controllers every 10 seconds for more than two months.
