July 30, 2015 - Phoenix Contact releases TP 3000 Touch-panel HMI in screen sizes from 5.7 to 15 inches, with certain panels available in a 16:9 aspect-ratio wide screen.
The TP 3000 series employs a rugged, all-metal housing with a fanless design that consumes less energy and produces less heat. The free VISU+ EXPRESS programming software provides easy programming and features trending, alarming, logging, and recipe handling.
The software supports many communication protocols, including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and OPC DA. This makes it compatible with PLCs from a variety of manufacturers.
These HMIs support gesturing, allowing the user allow swipe between screens, similar to a smart device. In addition, a free app is available to mirror the HMI screens on a smart device.
