Product Description

The PanelMate ePro PS family is made up of high performance yet cost- effective operator interface products. The ePro PS family carries on the PanelMate tradition of performance in balance with ease of use. The ePro PS family sets the standard for hybrid OI systems by combining the flexibility of Microsoft’s Windows XP Embedded operating with the stability and reli- ability achieved through the solid-state hardware design and exclusive Protect Mode™ that provides protection for the operating system and software.

The ePro PS family provides the per- formance and flexibility of PC based operator interfaces without the associ- ated complexity of a PC on the plant floor. With integrated high-speed Ethernet, serial ports, USB ports, removable CompactFlash and PCMCIA, the ePro PS models can be adapted for a wide variety of user requirements.

The ePro PS family of products are configured with the Canvas editing software. The Canvas editor supports a modern suite of graphical templates, called controls, for replacing hard- wired panel devices such as pushbut- tons, indicator lights, bars, readouts, message displays, etc.

The PanelMate ePro PS family of prod- ucts includes:

■PanelMate ePro PS

■PanelMate ePro PS OD (Outdoor Series)

■PanelMate ePro PS EE (Enterprise Edition)

■PanelMate ePro PS Classic

PanelMate ePro PS OD

The PanelMate ePro PS OD (Outdoor Series) operator interface is designed for use in outdoor applications. The OD models offer increased visibility in high ambient light, broad temperature specifications and UV resistance.

PanelMate ePro PS EE

The PanelMate ePro PS EE (Enterprise Edition) operator interface is designed for end-users that need more system memory, more data storage or additional Windows XP Embedded components and services to support large Canvas applications or third- party software.

PanelMate ePro PS Classic

The PanelMate ePro PS Classic opera- tor interface is designed for use by end-users that are currently using the PanelMate Power Pro software and are ready for the new PanelMate ePro PS hardware but are not quite ready to convert their PanelMate Power Pro configurations to Canvas applications. Since the PanelMate ePro PS Classic OI supports Power Pro and Canvas Runtime software, the user can utilize the Canvas Runtime software if and when they are ready.

The ePro PS Classic OI is based on the PanelMate ePro PS hardware models with the addition of software and licenses that allow users to run the PanelMate Power Pro Runtime soft- ware. One difference is in the area of drivers: the ePro PS Classic OI running PanelMate Power Pro configurations does not support native (non-OPC) communication drivers, but does support up to three OPC drivers simultaneously.

Application Description

Whether replacing hard-wired pilot devices and pushbuttons or providing machine control and even SCADA functions, the ePro PS family of prod- ucts will fit from both a form and func- tional standpoint.
