After a lovely chat with our friendly Unitronics Desk Manager about promoting the new V1040, I sat down the next day to prepare our demo box for a trade display and realised it only has the V570 fitted! This is the Unitronics factory demo with the V570, V350 and Jazz.

After some quick action to find a piece of panel material, the afternoon was spent cutting and soldering to migrate the existing V350, Jazz and peripherals to a new panel that also accomodates the V1040. The modem was moved inside the box, internal cable ducting was ditched for a more "free form" approach. Program changes were minimal, mainly to stretch the HMI screens to the new resolution. Some of the graphics did not re-scale well, but as time was not on my side they will have to do for now. Some screens are yet to be modified and the documentation pages needs updating with the new products.

However all in all it was a good result for a last-minute re-build, and now we can have the V1040 proudly on display.
