Evolution by Design

E-Series is a family of powerful and flexible panel mount Human Machine Interfaces. This family of displays offers a comprehensive line of state-of-theart terminal displays ranging from the basic 2 line backlit LCD keypad to a highly advanced 15 inch TFT Touch screen. Engineered to fit a wide range of applications and budgets. One can easily select from a text or graphical model to solve a multitude of different challenges.

E-Series terminals offer a high level of reliability, functionality and flexibility that allows easy integration into critical applications and processes where downtime can be costly. E-Series solutions are found throughout a wide range of industries including Automotive, Packaging, Material Handling, Plastics and Semiconductor.

E-Series displays boast one of the most accommodating recipe environments available for any HMI terminal. Recipes are easily created and modified directly from the panel without the need of a PC or preconfiguration. Mix and match signals from any connected device to store complex machine configurations and parameters. Quickly and easily recall variables to execute rapid machine change-over or set new configurations for production runs. Internal recipe directories keep your files well organized and manageable from every aspect of the project.

The most sought after requirement for both maintenance and service personnel is the ability to quickly troubleshoot and analyze complex conditions when a machine is in a downed situation. The embedded alarm management allows easy customization of user defined alarm conditions to logically group, display, prioritize and acknowledge alarm states. E-Series terminals offer many flexible options for handling alarms including sending data to printers, embedding data into email messages, or even forwarding alarm data to an SMS equipped cell phone. Machine status can be reported to service staff regardless of their location.

E-Series terminals offer data logging and sampling functions that can be displayed in real-time or historically stored for future viewing. Files stored in the terminal can be accessed remotely with a PC using FTP utilities or saved to memory. Terminals offer the capability of graphically displaying data using multi-colored pens for easy comprehension.

Link more than a single action for any given touch or function key. Linking several actions to a single event enables users to automate machine operations or perform complex machine operation without additional programming.

E-Series terminals support up to 8 levels of password protection enabling users to setup hierarchies to limit machine access for different users including machine operators, maintenance personnel and supervisors. Password settings can be very detailed and constructed to prevent access to individual device elements, a specific screen, or even to a level, to totally protect the project from being accessed by an unauthorized user. OEMs can safeguard proprietary solutions from illegal copying and tampering.

Unicode and multi-language support is available for many terminals in the E-Series family. Up to 10 different languages can be loaded into a terminal leaving users the freedom to choose which language to display. There’s no need to recreate numerous project screens to support different languages loaded in the terminal. Multi-language elements are programmed from a single user friendly menu that is independent of the E-Series project. Development time can be reduced since you don't need to change the entire project, only the text elements.

One of the most convenient functions ever devised is the ability to seamlessly communicate to your controller with your PC through the HMI without having to remove or reconfigure any cables. This feature is commonly known as transparent communication. E-Series terminals support both transparent and pass-through communications. The difference between these modes is that in transparent mode the terminals will remain "Online" with the device, where in pass-through mode the terminal is “Offline” for communications.

The most innovative function ever developed for an HMI terminal is the ability to communicate to two similar or dissimilar devices simultaneously. No other HMI terminal can bridge today's modern system design with virtually any legacy equipment easily and economically. E-Series is the leading HMI for company's seeking platform reduction and HMI standardization.

Terminals in this family utilize many common IT functions once thought to be reserved for Personal Computers. Features like email, Web serving and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allow you to take advantage of the embedded remote maintenance capabilities that these terminals offer. These handy functions can also minimize the need to send out service personnel to trouble-shoot your system. You can practically maintain your machine from anywhere in the world.
