ifm electronic’s PDM 360 smart human machine interface (HMI) with graphic display is a user interface designed to display system messages in mobile machines. The 60 mm integrated graphic display (128 x 64 pixels) is capable of displaying both text and visual elements associated with an application program. 12 back-lit function keys are used for data entry and handling. The sealed diecast-zinc housing is rated IP67 and is suitable for surface or panel mounting in both outdoor applications and vehicle cabins. The HMI is equipped with a CAN interface that enables data exchange with a connected controller.
With its compact design and the flexible programming according to IEC 61131-3, PDM 360 can be used in almost all applications. Communication with the other system components in the machine is carried out via the CAN bus with the CANopen protocol. The additional RS232 interface and the optional inputs and outputs together form a platform for further networking and communication with other units.
An integrated realtime clock can be used for synchronising the logging of operating data
The integrated M12 connectors provide connections for supply and communication and the robust, tried-and-tested RAM mount system can be used for surface mounting. The freely programmable backlit operating elements can be directly used to control the PDM360 compact or the application.
A 32-bit controller and the operating system form the basis of the display and the processing platform for the menu and device functions.
Optionally, the PDM360 compact is fitted with an Ethernet interface for programming and communication.
