Wireless operating panel with multi-touch & safety functions
The wireless handheld panel HGW 1033 (photo, p. 22) enables data transfer without long cables in production sites. The mobile panel has a 10.1-in. multitouch display (PCT) that is suitable for industrial applications and offers a wide range of visualization options and an intuitive operating concept. As with function-oriented data, safety data are transmitted via the standard WLAN network, but according to the Black Channel Principle. With the wireless HMI (human-machine interface), the machine operator can flexibly select the inspection points and operate multiple machines, robots or system units at the same time with only one panel. For this purpose, a safe seven-segment display for machine identification is integrated. A dual-core EDGE2 Technology processor provides the necessary visualization power. — Sigmatek GmbH & Co.
