This HMI offers more display real estate so applications can readily show extensive process information with improved aesthetics and visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Display and durability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HG5G-V 15\u201d TFT-LCD screen features a resolution of 1024&#215;768 pixels, producing vivid images and giving users an additional option in the High-Performance family scaled to fit larger applications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all HMIs in the series, the HG5G-V offers top-performing brightness of 650 cd\/m2 to deliver greater visibility, even in high-glare locations such as direct sunlight. Its best-in-class backlight life rating of 100,000 hours minimum, far exceeds the competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An exceptionally wide operating temperature range of -20DegC to +60\u02daC &#8211; as well as IP66F, IP67F, Type 4X, 12, 13, Class I Division 2 hazardous location, and UL61010 approval ratings &#8211; assures reliable operation in the toughest environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HG5G-V HMI is built for endurance and backed by an industry leading three-year warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Communications and IIoT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communications capabilities are bolstered by the addition of BACnet\/IP, suitable for a wide range of building automation and HVAC applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support is included for over 100 other serial and networking industrial protocols such as Modbus RTU Master\/Slave and Modbus TCP\/IP. Up to four protocols can be used simultaneously, allowing the HG5G-V to exchange data with many sources and systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>File Transfer Protocol (FTP) functionality allows users to configure the HMI as an FTP Client or Server for transferring programs &#8211; and for copying or moving files between local memory, an external memory device or a cloud-based file, database or data storage platform. This provides a convenient and effective remote file transfer method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web server functionality for HMI remote monitoring and control is accessed using any device capable of hosting a web browser including a smartphone, tablet or laptop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accessing the HMI using this method gives a user the same functionality as if standing in front of the HMI on the factory floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Troubleshooting and maintenance of a system is possible any time and from anywhere, saving travel time and expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HMI also supports industrial internet of things (IIoT) operation by serving up web pages developed using a browser-based web page editor, and it can also generate emails.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to browser-based access, users can employ the WindEDIT Lite app on any iOS or Android device over Wi-Fi for two-way communications with the HMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Control and connectivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct control by the HG5G-V HMI is enabled by adding up to four expansion discrete or analog I\/O modules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Programming to sense inputs and drive outputs is accomplished within the HMI software, providing a space saving all-in-one automation solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USB, Ethernet and SD memory card ports deliver comprehensive connectivity, while unique video-in and audio-out ports enable offer additional flexibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increased memory and a faster CPU deliver the performance required for even the most demanding applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the HG5G-V 15-in model joining the existing High-Performance series of HMIs sized at 5.7-in, 8.4-in, 10.4-in and 12.1-in, users have options for applications on any size equipment. This new generation includes useful improvements to line charts, bar charts, trending and security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All HMIs in the product line are configured using the same simple, intuitive WindO\/I-NV4 screen creation software, so users only need to be familiar with one inexpensive software package.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage is projects can automatically be converted from one HMI size to another within seconds using the same software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to building automation, other industries particularly well suited for the HG5G-V HMI are wastewater treatment, machine tool, packaging equipment, oil and gas, food and beverage, elevator control, power utilities, traffic control and transportation, and others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With extensive communication and IIoT capabilities combined with expanded I\/O, the HG5G HMI can control and connect to many types of systems, provide superior local visualisation and enable convenient remote access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IDEC Corporation announces the release of its new HG5G-V 15-in human-machine interface (HMI) touchscreen, the largest model in the High-Performance family.
