TX500 HMI PLCs are equipped with high-end touch displays and fast processors. They are suitable for use in small- to medium-size machines whose processes have to be controlled, displayed and operated locally. Each PLC is equipped with a Profinet master and EtherNet/IP scanner, as well as a Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU master. The HMIs also can be run as field devices for both Modbus protocols. CoDeSys 3 allows the lean and simple programming of the PLC and visualization functions. The units’ latest processor technology ensures smooth handling of computing-intensive processes such as moving image visualizations.
