I am currently looking to replace some HMI local displays that my client is using. We used to use the OIT 5400 from Maple Systems and they have discontinued this product.
It was a nice multi lined, text LCD display that was very robust for the price. The best part was it was rated NEMA 4X and was easily read in the sunlight. It cost about $500 and was worth the money. But Maple stopped making it and are making there color touchscreen a priority. As we all know color screens are hard to read in the sun and cost a lot more than what the old Maple cost. Maple makes other displays but they are half the size and harder to program because you need to use many more screens than we used to with the 5400.
Here are a couple screen shots of what the displays contain.
This is the large display Maple Systems OIT-5400:
This is the small display Maple Systems OIT-3185:
As you can tell there is a huge differance in the displays.
Has anybody used anything like this and if so can you tell me where to find one? It needs to be able to talk to a Motorla MOSCAD PLC.
Thanks in advance,
Russell
