The latest addition to the range of human machine interface (HMI) terminals from QSI Europe is the QTERM-Z60 with object-based programming.

The latest addition to the range of human machine interface (HMI) terminals from QSI Europe is the QTERM-Z60 with object-based programming This rugged and economical operator interface terminal features an STN colour QVGA (320 x 240 pixel), 256 colour LCD

With a 5.6in diagonal size, this provides excellent readability under most lighting conditions.

User input is via a resistive touch-screen providing very high resolution, which also incorporates "soft keys" located outside the viewing area.

With wide-ranging industrial and commercial applications, the units are also suitable for specialised markets including telematics, motion control, distribution systems and building controls for lighting, heating and security to name just a few.

Two models are available to accommodate different operating conditions and budgets, with both operating in most data formats and up to 115,200Kbaud.

The higher spec unit (QTERM-Z60/H) is ruggedised, with full NEMA 4 sealing for harsh environments, and a 200cd/m2 display.

A user selectable EIA232, 422 or 485 serial port is also available to provide communications up to 1000m, with the EIA485 suitable for multiple terminals interconnected using a multidrop chain to minimise cabling costs.

The lower spec unit (QTERM-Z60/L) has a NEMA 12 splash rating, 150cd/m2 display and is supplied with a single EIA232 port only for communications up to 15m with appropriate cabling.

A more highly specified QTERM-G70 terminal is also available for more exacting installation and performance requirements.

The QSI object-based programming language Qlarity (pronounced clarity) is used for software and setup.

The Qlarity Foundry PC-based software tool is also included for screen creation together with application simulation and development including debugging and downloading.

This provides a powerful yet flexible Windows-based environment suitable for either elementary or highly technical user requirements.

The terminal housing is manufactured from glass-filled polyester and can be mounted on panels up to 7mm thick.

It is CE certified and also has a UL94V0 flame rating.

Operation is from an 8 to 32V DC supply, at 0 to 50C ambient temperature within 0 to 95% noncondensing humidity.

An industrial grade 2Mbyte Flash memory and 16Mbyte RAM are available, together with a programmable speaker with software controlled pitch and duration.
