Product Family Overview
Machine builders and manufacturing system designers increasingly recog- nize the benefits of using electronic operator interface devices to replace pushbuttons, lights, gauges and other traditional hardwired devices.
Most choose dedicated operator inter- face systems because they are easy to use, fully integrated and
PanelMate: The Industry Standard
PanelMate units are flexible, expand- able,
A single PanelMate unit easily replaces panels that once contained numerous pushbuttons, indicator lights, thumb- wheels, message displays and alarm annunciators.
PanelMate Technology Benefits
■Replaces conventional control panels at less than half the cost.
■Gives operators more information for better control decisions.
■Standardizes operator stations and minimizes operator training.
■Saves processor memory by utiliz- ing Boolean logic and math functions.
■Reduces hardwiring costs and minimizes installation time.
■Adds advanced capabilities such as machine diagnostics, troubleshooting, trending and alarms at no additional cost.
■Automates documentation.
■Meets tight panel space requirements.
How to Select
PanelMate System Components
Each PanelMate system requires component selection from three major categories:
■Operator Interface — the online unit or operator station.
■Configuration Software —
■Connectivity — includes optional cables, hardware interfaces and software utilities.
Selection Criteria
■First, select the most appropriate Operator Interface, Display Type and Size, and Operator Input options for the customer’s application.
❑The selection of the Operator Interface model line is driven by such considerations as the size and complexity of the operator interface application, perfor- mance requirements, as well as the economic factors of the over- all control system.
❑The Display Type is chosen based on the operator’s needs — text only, text and graphics, color or grayscale. Display Size is selected based on application complexity and the operator’s proximity to the Operator Interface.
❑Operator Input options include either touchpanel (keypad) or touchscreen Operator Interface models. Criteria for selection of the best input method include environmental factors (airborne particles, grease, etc.), and appli- cation design (numeric input,
■Second, select the appropriate configuration editing software for the chosen Operator Interface.
Note: If the customer already has config- uration software, they may only need a software upgrade.
■Finally, select required connectivity features, such as interface cables, optional

Note: In order to specify the proper cabling and other connectivity options, you must know the target PLC or control- ler to be used with the Operator Inter- face. Required information may include the PLC brand, Model Number, software/ firmware revision level, and hardware/ software interface type.
