An ideal HMI alternative

3rd Quarter 2014 Other technologies

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

“Often customers require more from an HMI than the rudimentary LCD quality or minimum approval requirements and this is where Omron’s NS HMI series comes in as an outstanding alternative,” says Victor Marques, country general manager for Omron Electronics South Africa. “For example, the NB HMI series is the ideal replacement for existing monochrome units,” he says. “In addition, the replacement is easy to carry out as the cutout size is the same.”

Replacements coincide with existing products 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 a best in class display with more than 65 000 display colours and a wide viewing angle across a 18 and 25 cm wide screen (resolution 800 x 480). In addition a long-life LED backlight TFT LCD and 28 MB internal memory offer customers outstanding features. During the months of July to end September, the Omron NB HMI series will be sold on promotion.
