Human/machine interface for Windows CE
OS
Lenze has developed the EL100 series of human/machine interfaces for applications requiring the Windows CE operating system.
As production machinery becomes more complex, it is important to have a human/machine interface that is safe and easy to use, as operators need to keep track of their plant at all times Therefore, Lenze has developed the EL100 series of HMI for applications requiring the higher level of flexibility and functionality offered by the Windows CE operating system

Machinery can regenerate power to save energy
Lenze asks why convert kinetic or potential energy into heat, when stopping machinery or inclined conveyors, when that energy could be regenerated into electricity feed back.
Servo controller has Ethernet connectivity
Lenze-AC Tech has lintroduced its PositionServo drive with full Ethernet connectivity as standard, without the usual cost and complexity associated with servo automation equipment.
The series also features a visualisation system specifically adapted to the hardware - VisiWinNet Smart.
With display sizes ranging from 5.7" to 10.4" and integrated VisiWinNet visualisation, these Windows CE panels are cost effective and powerful devices for operating and monitoring.
The Windows CE operating system provides functions similar to those offered by a PC.
They are compact with a flexible graphical user interface and available as touchscreens.
All the EL100 HMIs are fitted with tried-and-tested IPC standard interfaces.
These offer a number of possibilities for communication with master controls and, of course, for integration into the Lenze L-force portfolio of products.
As well as standard CANbus, other interfaces such as MPI and RS232 are available.
Furthermore Ethernet, USB A and USB B interfaces facilitate industry standard communication with higher-level PCs and allow for the connection of additional disc drives, printers, keyboards or other communication media.
The VisiWinNet Smart visualisation system was developed for machine orientated visualisation tasks and specifically to meet the requirements of the EL100 series.
Clear and simple user interfaces mean that applications can be created very quickly and easily.
A project wizard assists the user when it comes to selecting target hardware and provides a suitable basic configuration which can then be adapted at will for each project.
Furthermore the system is characterised by its user-friendly configuration process, optimised alarm management system and simple user management option.
With Lenze operating systems you always have the right solution for every application and even the most complex processes.
EL100 Windows CE panels are available in mono or colour for 24V supply with resistive touchscreens.
The operating system is Windows CE 5.0 and user memories of 32MB (flash) and 64MB (RAM) are built in. Request a free brochure from Lenze ...
