The Cutouch CT1720 combines a touch panel, graphic LCD, and programmable embedded computer in a robust panel-mount unit.
Available from Audon Electronics is the Cutouch CT1720 touch screen HMI.
Based on the Cubloc PLC-on-a-chip processor, the Cutouch CT1720 combines a touch panel, graphic LCD, and programmable embedded computer in a robust panel-mount unit.
It provides 91 I/O ports, eight channels of 10-bit A/D, six 16-bit PWM outputs, and 80Kbyte Flash memory for development of HMI devices.
Ladder Logic offers real-time sequential processing, while Basic supplies number-crunching power.
The controller includes Modbus support, two RS232 serial ports and an internal battery for safe data backup.
The Cutouch enables anyone to quickly develop HMI devices for industrial machines, factory temperature controllers, packing machines, robots, embedded control, and more.
Cutouch CT1720 is programmable in both Basic and Ladder Logic, allowing fast control, complex maths, updateable touch-screen graphics, and fast data-communication protocols to be easily implemented.
Both the real-time processing powers of a Modbus PLC and the 32-bit floating-point maths, graphic capabilities, and communication powers of Basic are now available in one product.
Cutouch CT1720 has 82 I/O ports, and can be expanded with add-on boards to suit almost any situation.
Using an optional XPORT internet module, TCP or UDP packets can be monitored through the internet from anywhere, allowing users to update or provide customer service for products located anywhere in the world.
With Cutouch CT1720, Basic can be used to draw graphics and print characters to the LCD and receive touch-screen input.
Sensor signals enter through I/O or A/D lines, allowing users to turn relays on/off, output analogue values, or send RS232 communication very easily compared with traditional non-Basic controllers.
Cutouch CT1720 has 80Kbyte Flash memory for Basic and Ladder programs, 28Kbyte for data memory, RTC, and one of the two RS232 serial ports can be used for download and debug.
With eight channels of 10-bit A/D and six channels of 16-bit PWM, the Cutouch CT1720 is ready-made for many industrial applications.
Modbus support (Slave, ASCII) is also provided, making Cutouch CT1720 ideal for customised industrial use.
Implementing a touch screen and controller can often add up to a lot of time and expense, but Cutouch CT1720 allows users to program working touch-buttons within the first five minutes.
