Hi Guys,
I have quoted a customer on production displays inside the factory. In the past I have used a GOT terminal with the VGA out card so that the 55" monitor displays the HMI page or using an industrial PC with SoftGOT.
I have now received info that another competitor has quoted cheaper using a Beckhoff Panel PC that can, and I quote from email ---
***
Basically the system operates on an Ethernet protocol – hence the wiring is very simple.
The system is easily expandable.
We offer a device that will convert the Ethernet signals into the Video signal for the displays.
***
So instead of me using ten GOT's with VGA out to each monitor, this guy says he can do this with one FX PLC, a Beckhoff Panel PC that is connected to 10 monitors that will each display its own production data via Ethernet to VGA ??
Is this possible and is there a better solution with Mitsubishi??
Best regards and looking forward to answers,
Brett Shelley
