Operator interface mounts the panel
The QTERM-G55 rugged graphic operator interface terminal can now be supplied as a panel-mount variant to complement the existing handheld unit.
"Power-over-Ethernet will provide increased flexibility and cost savings to QTERM-G70 users," said Bob Mullins, QSI Engineering Manager.
"This new technology eliminates the need for additional electrical wiring and the need to be near power outlets." QSI believes they are the first in the industry to offer Power-over-Ethernet on rugged graphic terminals.
The QTERM-G70 is an Ethernet-enabled graphics terminal based on a revolutionary new object-based graphic terminal programming language called QlarityTM (pronounced Clarity).
Designing a simple control panel interface or a complete stand-alone application has never been easier.
The ability to use pre-defined objects, edit existing objects or author your own objects provides flexibility to the novice and expert alike.
The QTERM-G70 features a robust list of industrial grade hardware features and options including a 320x240 lighted graphics LCD display (colour or greyscale); 10Base-T Ethernet with TCP/IP support; touch screen with optional PS/2 keyboard connection; EIA-232, -422 or -485 serial interface; and 4 Mbytes Flash/16 Mbytes RAM in a NEMA-4, CE certified housing.
