Allen123 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm looking for a cheap solution to have a little HMI display connected to a Control Logix PLC through Ethernet. The HMI is for a remote offloading station and there is little to display or control as the hardwired controls are already in place. The display would be mostly to indicate if the offload pumps were inhibited or not and which alarms that affected the pumps were active. My problem is that Rockwell discontinued their mini displays or will during this year (this is for an external application) and the HMI's available that are tiny seem to be "locked" into Compactlogix or the Micro800 series. Any advice on brands that would do such a device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2022 Flex727 Posted February 7, 2018 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 There are some distributors on here that might be able to suggest the absolutely cheapest solution, but (depending on what protocol you need) I would use a Samba SM35 with an Ethernet card. If you must use EtherNet/IP, then there is a 5" UniStream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Franco Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 As Flex said, I also recommend you Unistream 5", or if you prefer another brand, take a look to RedLion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2022 Joe Tauser Posted February 7, 2018 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Any of the Visilogic series can be a DF1 slave if you have a serial port on the ControlLogix. Quite frankly, if all you need is an HMI I'd look at Weintek. They are marketed in the US as Maple and KEP HMI's and have Ethernet/IP available as a driver. Joe T.
