Robust HMI devices with all-round IP67 protection

The new HMI series from Turck Banner enables cabinet free operating and installation at operating temperatures between -20 and +55 °C. The TXF700 Series for the first time offers an ultra robust HMI series with complete all-round protection to IP67. With its high degree of protection, the modern HMI platform allows for flexible and slim mounting as, unlike previous solutions, it does not require installation in protective housings or control cabinets. The brilliant TFT displays are protected by a glass front and the HMIs feature a capacitive touch screen that supports multi-touch capability and gesture control. This allows the latest operating concepts from the world of smartphones and tablets to be brought to the rugged environments of industrial automation. The TXF700 HMIs are available with display sizes from 12 cm to 54.5 cm and with a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. With the new HMI/PLC series, Turck Banner has further expanded its extensive IP67 portfolio. The devices can be used wherever there are no particular Ex protection or hygiene requirements, particularly in machine and system building, the packaging industry, as well as in the intralogistics, mobile equipment and automobile sectors.

The TXF700 can be used for visualisation and, if required, can be used also with Turck Banner’s TX VisuPro, without CODESYS as an IIoT gateway or edge controller. Besides the conventional HMI protocols for connecting to controllers, such as those from Siemens, Beckhoff or Rockwell, TX VisuPro also supports MQTT or

OPC-UA as server and client. The TXF700 HMIs can communicate simultaneously with up to eight protocols. This gateway function thus also enables data to be exchanged between different controllers or terminal devices.
