[PSUBS-MAILIST] Touch Screens & PLCs

[Hugh Fulton via Personal_Submersibles]

They are called HMI interfaces and available with many PLC’s.

Otherwise there are a bunch of Tuff book options through Panasonic.

Some additional comments to my previous post are that I am

finding it hard locating a small touch screen for use in harsh environments &

don't  necessarily need a touch screen, as it may be better to have scroll & function 

buttons operating either off my motor control joy sticks, or nearby.

So these scroll / function buttons would be wired in to the PLC first.

Hi

I'm looking at my touch screen & PLC options & I'm a bit clueless here.

I want  to display about 50 inputs. (I note that Cliff's R300 system displays about 60.)

Also I'm looking at using a life support system similar to a rebreather as per James

Cameron, & this will need to have outputs from the PLC & a screen display.

I am wanting to go reasonably small with the screen size & have been looking at the

4" C-more touch screen.

It may be an option to use 2 of these screens as there are certain functions that I want displayed

continuously. There seem to be a lot of pluses with the C-more system as it is easy to

configure the screen & alarm set points, however the graphics look a bit basic.

They do state that it supports user generated graphics so it may be easy to create my own

where necessary.

Are there any other good options out there? Or am I heading in the right direction?

Regards Alan
