Maple Systems of the USA has released a new generation of touchscreen operator interface terminals (OITs) - the Silver Series Plus. Built on a new, high-performance hardware platform, Silver Series Plus operator interfaces are designed to meet the demands of today's industrial environments.
As the name implies, the Silver Series Plus OITs build on the features of the popular Silver Series - offering a wider array of display sizes, more connectivity options, higher quality displays, enhanced data management and monitoring, as well as improved graphics and design options.
The enhanced displays come in 6", 8", 10" and 12" sizes, and all units feature 65536-colour high-brightness, high-contrast TFTs with high-precision touchscreens and wide viewing angles. Displays are all flat panels with a nominal depth of less than 2", and a feature in the software allows the displays to be mounted in either portrait or landscape mode, creating optimum versatility in display placement.
Connectivity is key in today's automation, and the series delivers with a wide variety of connectivity options. The 10/100BaseT Ethernet allows for multiple high-speed network configurations. Multiple devices can be connected to the three USB 2.0 host ports, and three COM ports allow for serial connection to multiple PLCs and controllers. Other connectivity options include audio in/out ports, CompactFlash port and a 44-pin IDE interface.
Many enhancements have been made to the EZware-5000 configuration software. Data management tools now include data sampling and data logging features, both of which can be exported in a CSV format and stored to an external storage device. Other enhancements to the configuration software include the ability to program projects in up to eight different languages, improved security features with up to six levels of password protection.
Graphics have a realistic, three-dimensional appearance that enhances the overall look of the display. Pictures can be imported to the display in JPG, BMP, GIF and animated GIF. All imported graphics can be saved in graphics libraries for use in other projects.
