Hi all,
Got a customer that wants a large 4 digit numeric display so that an operator driving an excavator can see how much weight he's already loaded without having to get out. So I'm envisioning something brightly illuminated and about 300mm high. I'll need four of them in the end, and wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
Ideally - and this is probably asking way too much - they'd be ethernet-based so that I can just send them the number directly from the PLC (MicroLogix 1400) and have no discrepancy between the number on the operator's HMI and the number on the large display. But if that's not possible, then I'll just have to do 4-20mA and calibrate it up as best I can.
Has anyone seen anything like this?
Thanks!
