Use your mouse to rotate the picture and note that the unit has a slim profile and seals against the mounting surface with a gasket. All relevant connections are on the rear, protected side. Designed to reduce engineering development time, reduce costs by eliminating unnecessary hardware, as well as reduce support and maintenance costs, PERSPECTO CP TV enables simplified control system architecture. This combination makes all in one, HMI + PLC technology a compelling alternative to more traditional options.
The PERSPECTO Control Panel with Target Visualization (CP TV) eliminates the need for separate PLC and HMI hardware/software by combining the HMI and PLC into one package.  Programmed with a single development tool, WAGO-I/O-PRO, this all in one system features extensive communication interface ports, tight integration with the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM and more. Units are available in a choice of five sizes of TFT touch screens: 3.5, 5.7, 10.4, 12.1, and 15 inch. Performance is scalable up to 1.6 GHz, 256 MB of RAM, and 128 MB of Flash memory. Units come with a broad selection of ports: Ethernet (Modbus/TCP), CAN (CANopen, J1939), USB, RS-485, and RS-232. Other features include removable memory expansion (up to 2 GB) for program back-up and restore; a built-in Web server for remote access and network wide streaming of dynamic HMI screens; Internet protocol support; HTTP, DHCP, SNTP, FTP and SNMP and access to more than 450 (IP20 and IP67) I/O modules from the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM.The WAGO-I/O-PRO - Logic and Graphics Editor is the all in one logic programming and graphic screen editing software that supports all six IEC 61131 programming languages: Function Block Diagram, Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart, Instruction List, and Continuous Function Chart. It features point and click assignment of PLC variables and graphic elements, a set of trouble shooting tools—simulation, debugging, online changes, sample trace and more— plus pre-built function block and industrial graphic libraries. It is offered as a site license with no upgrades or technical support fees.
