Hayes Control Systems product story

Beckhoff has expanded its HMI control panel range to include models with 6.5, 18.1 and 20.1in screens, each with the option of embedded PC functionality.
Major additions to the versatile range of HMI control panels from Hayes Control Systems, which include new screen sizes and embedded PC options, mean that providing effective, flexible and convenient operator interfaces for control systems of all sizes and levels of complexity is now easier than ever.
Manufactured in Germany by Beckhoff, for which Hayes Control Systems is the sole UK distributor, the control panel range now includes models with 6.5in screens, which are ideal for small-scale applications, and with 18.1 and 20.1in screens, which provide the large viewing area needed for detailed displays of complex processes, or for working with several windows simultaneously.
These new models complement the existing units with 10, 12 and 15in screens.
In addition, all Beckhoff HMI control panels from Hayes Control Systems can now be supplied with an embedded PC which is designed to offer optimum performance when used with Windows CE or Embedded XP.
This powerful PC, which incorporates a 266MHz processor, allows the control panel to operate as, for example, a terminal server which can be linked directly to control systems or Scada installations via the built-in Ethernet interface.
Alternatively, by using Beckhoff TwinCAT software, the embedded PC can be used as a programmable controller, allowing the control panel to provide all of the functionality needed for a complete control system.
To maximise their versatility, the embedded PCs offer a wide range of additional features.
These include 32Mbyte of SDRAM, expandable to 128Mbyte; 16Mbyte of Flash memory, expandable to 64Mbyte; an internal slot for a Type II CompactFlash card; and optional USB and serial ports.
Like the existing products in the Beckhoff HMI range, the new models incorporate high-quality colour TFT displays with touch-screen and touch-pad options.
The units are available in standalone versions which offer IP65 ingress protection, and in versions designed for panel installation, which have an IP65 rating for the front section and an IP20 rating for the rear.
All models feature compact construction, and at just 38mm deep, are easy to accommodate even where space is limited.
The embedded PC versions are exactly the same size as the standard versions, making them an ideal choice for use in modern control systems where small overall size is an important requirement.
