1 Display Units And Operator Panels
Panel overview The display units and operator panels are divided
into three groups:
Text operator panels
These are distinguished by
the type of display (text-based/graphics-
capable),
the size of the display,
the number of interfaces,
the number of keys.
In addition, a hand-held unit and a device with
prepunched holes for electromechanical control
circuit devices are available.
Graphic operator panels with LCD display
These are distinguished by
the size and type of display
(colour or monochrome),
the number of keys.
Touch panels
These are distinguished by
the size and type of display
(colour or monochrome),
the number of additional buttons.
Depending on the device type, inputs are made
either using a keypad or a touch screen. In the latter
case, only slight pressure on the display triggers a
function (resistive touch technology).
All graphic/text/touch operator panels are equipped
with interfaces for configuration with a PLC or a PC.
Most of the units have a serial printer port.
