AIS Releases a Low Cost 7” Touch Screen Operator Interface Terminal for Machine Control & Monitoring and SCADA Applications

The AIS embedded PC features a compact rugged steel housing and the aluminum front bezel is sealed to IP65 standards for excellent water/dustproof protection; enabling the systems to operate in the adverse conditions. Built-in communication ports support RS-232, RS-485, and Ethernet for Modbus or Modbus/TCP protocols enabling it to connect to a variety of control systems. CAN-bus connections are also available for industrial machinery, agriculture, and transportation applications. The 7” HMI control panel features a 800x480 pixel widescreen resolution LED panel which provides extended screen area and visibility. Crisp and sharp images are displayed through the LED backlit screen while consuming only a fraction of the power compared to traditional backlights.

AIS’ industrial grade panel pc are designed to be reliable, long lifetime support and availability, high performance, easily programmable and accessed supporting a non-proprietary-hardware based solution. With touchscreen capability, ruggedized housing, and several I/O connections, the AIS’ operator interface terminal is a powerful cost effective system that is available commercially off the shelf and is easily deployable into build, factory, and industrial automation applications.
