Video Capabilities Added to HMI Line

April 29, 2011
The company has added video integration capability into its line of graphic HMIs for increased visibility in process or production applications.
Coming in widescreen high-speed or compact models, the new HMI video capability allows images to be captured when alarms or triggers sound, accepts live and recorded video, records general plant surveillance and the information can be stored on removable devices, such as a SD card or USB drive. The new integration also allows cameras to connect to an HMI and view or record live video of an application in NTSC or PAL formats. It can also connect two cameras and import video on two different channels to the HMI. As part of the graphic HMI system, a media player component provides image review and analysis. Applications for the media player include video tutorials for operational procedures, messages and crucial warnings can be viewed to increase operator effectiveness. Supported file formats for the system are mov, mpg, mp3, wmv, flv, avi and wav.The graphic HMI models come with USB and serial ports (some with Ethernet) and a high-resolution TFT display.
