The new Multi Panels 377 from Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) are equipped with a 64k color TFT display for brilliant colour reproduction. The performance data have been significantly improved compared to the previous MP370 models.
The units are particularly suitable for use of the Simatic WinAC MP2007 software PLC, and therefore also solve complex control and visualisation tasks in one device. It is available in 12, 15 and 19 inch versions with touch screen and in a 12 inch version with key operation.
They have two Profinet ports and two USB 2.0 ports for connecting I/O devices such as memory sticks, mouse, keyboard, printer and hard disks. The 12-MB user memory can be expanded via the multimedia card slot or CF card slot, for example for archives or recipe data. A retentive message buffer has been additionally integrated; this does not require a battery, and is therefore completely maintenance-free.
Equipped with the powerful Windows CE 5.0 operating system and integral Microsoft Media Player, the new Multi Panels 377 are now also suitable for multimedia applications, for example the playing of videos. Internet sites can be displayed using Internet Explorer 5.5 for Pocket PC, and Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and PDF documents can be displayed using the Microsoft Viewer.
