Lenze has expanded its family of HMIs with the option of an integrated Soft-PLC. The EL100 range of touchscreen HMIs feature a standard Windows CE operating system and can be supplied with an integrated Soft-PLC compliant with the IEC61131 standard. The EL100 touchscreens are available from 5.7 to 10.4 inches and the Windows CE operating system, together with Lenze VisiWinNet visualisation software, speeds up the process of display programming.
All six models can be selected with a low cost option of a Soft-PLC. Compared with the pure visualisation panels, the EL100 PLC versions have twice the memory capacity with 64MB flash and 128MB RAM. In addition a maintenance free UPS protects against short-term supply interruptions and retained variables are saved on an integrated flash disc.
EL100 displays can be easily connected to host controllers and other devices via CANbus and Ethernet. In addition there are MPI, RS232 and USB ports.
