We have been selling a 4.3" display operator interface for a while now. It has evolved into the new 8000 Series. However, during that evolution little has changed. This economically priced unit for small applications always seemed to lack the features of the larger units. Granted, the target market was always " A simple interface for a simple application".
Starting next month the MMI6050 will have some new features. These features are some of the ones found on larger units. Now, when you ask a small interface to "step up", it can!
Here are some of the improvements....
1. The RS485 port can now support Siemens MPI 187.5 KBaud communications. This opens a new market for those users of Siemens PLC's that need an economical display solution.
2. The display brightness is increased to 500 cd/m2 and the contrast ratio is improved to 600:1. No one really likes a dingy display and the MMI6050 was never really dingy, but, now it really shines. Brighten the corner where you are.
3. An additional RS485 2 wire pinout is added to the communications connector. This allows for multiple PLC types to connect to one unit. Thus, adding more versatlility to this compact wonder.
4. 128KB of Retentive memory has been added. This gives an answer to the often asked question, "Does it have any recipe memory?" Well, now the answer is "YES." But this memory can also be used for storing data, event logs, and project parameters.
