The SP5000X Outdoor HMI series from Pro-face America offers a larger screen, making it easier to read from further distance which makes the HMI good for extreme and hazardous conditions, including outdoor applications.

Pro-face America announces the addition of a 15.6” display to the SP5000X Outdoor human-machine interface (HMI) series. This wide-screen display is a nice extension of this already popular family of eXtreme HMIs. A larger display offers customers an easier to read screen from further distances offering yet another solution to the automation industry’s long time need for HMIs that can be used in extreme and hazardous conditions, including outdoor applications.

Combine this 15.6” SP5000X wide sunlight readable display made with an aluminum die-cast, stainless steel bezel, with the SP5B90X box unit to create an overall eXtreme solution for applications that require a large screen with sunlight visibility. This combination offers operating temperatures ranging from -30º to 60º C, a high brightness liquid crystal panel displaying screens at 1000 nits, and a UL 50E Type 4X outdoor use rating. The SP5000X series is suitable for multiple applications under harsh environmental conditions (3C3), including use in vehicles such as fire trucks, trains, and construction equipment; parking lots and gas stations; and the oil and gas industry. Connect a J1939 communication module to Engine Control Units to monitor and control electric generators, highway trucks, agriculture machines, and construction machines.
