Save £600 with HMI Starter Kit

Offering a saving of over £600, compared with the list price of the items purchased separately, the new HMI Starter Kit from Moeller Electric provides an excellent and inexpensive opportunity for new users to discover the versatility of Moeller’s powerful and cost-effective XV touch-screen HMI range.

The kit features an XV-200 HMI with a 5.7-inch monochrome screen that can be configured by the user as either a standalone HMI, or as an HMI that also provides full PLC functionality. Also included are copies of the X-SOFT-PROFESSIONAL software package for fast efficient development of PLC programs and the X-SOFT-GALILEO interactive software package for designing display screens.

Complementing the XV range of colour touch-panels up to 15 inch, the XV-200 offers a screen resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, in four grey scales, and makes it easy to implement attractive and intuitive user-interface systems for monitoring and controlling processes and machines.

The XV-200 also has excellent communications options, including an Ethernet port that can be used for programming or for connecting the unit to a LAN, and an RS232 port for communicating with an external PLC. Software drivers are available to suit PLCs from a wide range of manufacturers including the Moeller Easy relay and versions are available with dedicated MPI or CanOpen interface.

Both of the software packages included in the starter kit are Windows based and both are designed for speed and ease of use.

In addition to providing powerful tools for display page design, X-SOFT-GALILEO offers facilities for implementing advanced HMI functions such as alarm handling and recipe management. It also supports full on-line project simulation on a PC.

Based upon the popular CoDeSys tools, X-SOFT-PROFESSIONAL is fully compliant with IEC 61131-3 and gives users access to a wide choice of programming techniques, including ladder diagram, statement list and function block. It also offers an extensive range of functions for program simulation, testing and debugging.
