* CANopen.

* DeviceNET.

* Interbus S.

The operator panels from the Pop line are backlit making them ideal in situations with especially poor lighting.

The suitability of Pop operating terminals in industrial applications is highlighted by the panel versions with a protection class of IP65.

Along with the Pop operating terminals is modern software the windows' Pop Designer' which is used in all panels whether for text or graphics displays or touch panels.
