29.06.2021/2000/XNUMX | While switches and lighting were attached as hardware to a control panel in conventional operator terminals, these are installed in the graphic HMI (Human Machine Interface) operator terminals GOTXNUMX (Graphic Operation Terminal) from Mitsubishi Electric using a Screen design software created. They can be displayed and operated on the touch screens of the terminals. The virtual creation of the former hardware saves components and wiringeffort.

Now Mitsubishi Electric has two new GOT2000 HMIs brought to market. They expand the range of wide models with 12,1 inch widescreen in a narrow frame. The frame colors are Smart Silver (GT2512-WXTSD) or Cool Black (GT2512-WXTBD). The new models meet customer demands for a wider screen to display more information.

This helps with restricted access to production Widescreen HMI of the GT25 series remote connections such as access to the local GOT with the Softgot Link function and the retrieval of live data via the GOT Mobile function.


Turck HMISpecial HMI / PLC series for food technology


New antibacterial and antiviral rikeguard Protectors from Riken Technos is available as an option for the standard HMI GOT. The films have been shown to inactivate 99,99% of viruses and reduce bacterial growth to less than 1/100 with a lifespan of more than ten years in typical environments. They are available in sizes 12.1, 10.4 and 8.4 inches for the GT27 and GT25 series. The use of SIAA certified films reduces the disinfection effort. 

HMI devices for extreme industrial environments

Mitsubishi HMI extreme environmentWith an extended operating temperature range from -20 ° to +65 ° C and protection classes up to IP67F / IP66F the 7 "operator unit GOT2507T-WTSD from Mitsubishi Electric fulfills the requirements of rough and demanding applications. No additional protective measures are required for high-pressure cleaning or outdoor use.

While standard HMIs typically have an operating temperature range of 0 ° to 55 ° C, the extended temperature range of the GOT2507T-WTSD enables use in harsh environments. For this will be neither heating devices at the lowest temperatures Fan or cooler required at the highest temperatures. This can significantly reduce the operating costs for food and beverage manufacturers and applications in the energy industry and offers more flexible use in extreme temperatures.

In direct sunlight, the GOT2507T-WTSD offers an improved Resistance to UV rays. Thanks to a high-resolution LCD panel and a special anti-reflective coating, it can also be used in strong sunlight. Thanks to the reinforcement of the front panel with a metal housing, the robust model can also be used in environments that are exposed to shock or vibration.

Several Communication interfaces, consisting of two Ethernet ports, wireless LAN interface, USB, RS232 and RS422 / 485 are available. In addition, the audible warning function amplifies the information displayed on the screen. The GOT Mobile offers real-time machine visualization with remote devices such as tablets, smartphones and PCs.

The HMI is suitable for the energy industry, Food and beverage industry as well as machine construction, heavy-duty machine construction, for parking systems, processing plants, EV charging stations, port facilities or the shipping industry.
