CRT or LCD Monitor

Hi,

How can we connect a normal CRT or LCD monitor to S5 PLC instead of old RGB Monitor which dying. Thanks

I tried to find a solution to this for one of my customers, but had no success, however I am no expert on monitor inputs. I tried getting a CRT computer monitor that had both VGA inputs and the same signal split to RGB but the S5 seemed to be missing a sync signal that the monitor needed. I also tried an RGB to VGA converter that was meant to allow old Apple MACs to work with standard screens, but again no joy. Fortunately the problem went away as they finally upgraded that part of the plant to S7s.

I did find that RGB monitors were usually repairable at my local TV repair shop, but they went bust after everyone started switching to LCD televisions.

I too had the same problem and we also upgraded to S7. The problem is that the sync signal is too slow for a standard monitor. We found a UK supplier of rgb monitors and bought a new one!

I remembered where we bought it : http://www.kme.co.uk/index.htm

I hope this helps.

I think they manufacture a video unit to enable connection to a standard monitor.

Thanks Bryan, I tried to connect an old sony monitor and it worked, but the problem was that the display was blurred and dificult to read due to poor resolution may be.

Thanks Markie, I'll check this site.
