The new Modbus displays immediately catch the eye with their bright, crisp screen. Their easy readability at a 170° viewing angle is equally impressive. The internal features are also noteworthy. For example, ease of use: individual screen pages can be conveniently created with the free WYSIWYG tool "HMI Designer" simply by using drag and drop. The objects on the screen are then linked to the corresponding Modbus registers. This automatically displays the data in the correct location on the screen. All Modbus registers can be freely assigned to different objects on the screen, such as numerical values, bar graphs, images, text information, etc.; 32-bit values can also be transferred for floating-point calculations. Up to 256 Modbus registers are supported.
The displays in the HMI series can be connected to all Modbus masters and used in both RTU and TCP modes. Therefore, it is possible to connect to any programmable logic controller (PLC) from numerous well-known manufacturers, such as Siemens, Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, and Beckhoff.
The new Modbus displays are currently available in four sizes, from 2.8" to 10". Thanks to the mechanical design of the plastic housing, they can be mounted on walls, as well as on front panels or control cabinet doors. No tools are required to connect the data and power cables.
