I'd like to install one to notify operators of production rates and error conditions. We have an HMI, but it's not easy to see from where the operator usually works (HMI is really only used to operate the machine manually or if there's a jam). We have an In-View on site, but it's cumbersome to program (to say the least). I'd like to purchase something that's programmed like an HMI, where it polls the PLC periodically.
It will be viewed from around 30' away, and it'll be mounted 10' above the floor. 2" characters are probably big enough, with 24 character width.
So far, I've been looking at Red Lion and Vorne displays, but would consider anything suitable.
Will be a wash-down environment, but it can be mounted where it would only be subject to an occasional errant spray.
Must be compatible with ML1100 - preferably with an Ethernet driver.
Would anyone like to make a recommendation?
