August 2014 Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays

Omron’s feature-rich and cost effective NB HMI series is perfect for any industry requiring a small, affordable basic human machine interface touch screen. Offering the best in reliability, the NB HMI series is rich in features and related benefits.

“Often customers require more from an HMI than just LCD quality or the minimum approval requirements. This is where Omron’s NS HMI series offers a fantastic alternative,” says Victor Marques, country general manager, Omron Electronics South Africa. “For example, the NB HMI series is the ideal replacement for existing monochrome units. In addition, the replacement is easy as the cut-out size requirement stays the same.”

Replacements coincide with existing product as follows:

* NB7W can replace Easyview/Weintek MT6056i/MT6070iH.

* NB5Q can replace Delta DOP-B05.

* NB3Q can replace Pro-Face ST400 and NQ3.

* NB5Q can replace NT31(C) using NB5Q-ATT01 mounting bracket.

The NB HMI series is characterised by best in class display with more than 65 000 display colours and a wide viewing angle across a 175 and 250 mm screens. In addition, a long-life LED backlight and 28 MB internal memory completes the new offering.
