Turck extends his TX700 Human Machine Interface, short HMI or Programmable Logic Controller, in short PLC Device series. For systems in the Food industry these are two variants of the TX700FB, (Food & Beverage). There are also two versions with particularly bright displays for better sunlight readability TX700HB, (High Brightness).

HMI / PLC for hygienic design

The FB devices are available in the screen diagonals 7 "and 15", the HB variants in the sizes 7 "and 10". The HMI / PLC FB interfaces meet the requirements for hygienic design DIN EN1672-2 and EHEDG / FDA 21 CFR 177.2006. They have a stainless steel front with a polyester coating. On the front they achieve that Degree of protection IP69K. This means that the devices are waterproof up to 80 ° C under high pressure. In addition, the FB products are resistant to acids and chemicals.

Human machine interface + robot in plastic production

The HMI / PLC High brightness interfaces with their extra bright display with up to 800 Cd / m² are particularly suitable for outdoor applications. The displays of the human-machine interface were produced with liquid bonding (LOCA). The process for screen refinement allows better contrast and greater brightness through reduced reflections and light refraction. Thanks to their all-metal housing, the HB HMI / PLC are resistant to mechanical influences.

Can be used as an IIoT gateway or edge controller

The interfaces of the series TX100, TX200, TX500 and TX700 can be used for Visualization can be used with the TX Visupro from Turck, even without Codesys IIoT gateway or use Edge Controller.

HMI platform for industrial operation and monitoring

In addition to the classic HMI protocols for connecting to Controllers as from Beckhoff, Siemens or Rockwell, TX Visupro also supports MQTT or OPC UA as server and client. The HMI / PLC devices communicate with up to eight protocols in parallel. This gateway function can also be used to exchange data between different controllers or end devices.

Turck is exhibiting at the PLC Connect.
