The IC754VSF12CTD is equipped with a 12.1-inch color TFT display with a resolution of 800×600 pixels. It presents rich and vivid colors, clearly displaying various types of information such as process flow diagrams, real-time data curves, and equipment status icons. It supports a 256-color display mode, allowing operators to quickly identify different operating states (normal, alarm, fault) through different colors. It adopts industrial-grade resistive touch technology with a touch accuracy of ±1mm. Even when operators wear cotton or rubber gloves in industrial sites, precise touch control can still be achieved, with a response time of ≤100ms and no touch delay. The screen surface is coated with a scratch-resistant and wear-resistant layer with a hardness of 3H, which can resist erosion from on-site dust and oil stains as well as slight collisions, maintaining good display and touch performance even after long-term use. In addition, the screen supports brightness adjustment, which can be manually or automatically adjusted according to on-site lighting conditions (e.g., strong light exposure, dim environments), ensuring clear visibility in different lighting environments.
The product is configured with comprehensive communication interfaces, including 2 RS-232 interfaces, 1 RS-485 interface, and 1 Ethernet interface. It can connect to multiple on-site devices of different types simultaneously, enabling centralized data collection and interaction. For example, it can connect to multiple frequency converters via the RS-485 interface to collect real-time parameters such as operating frequency, current, and voltage of the frequency converters, and issue speed adjustment commands; it can communicate with GE VersaMax PLCs via the Ethernet interface to read and write data in PLC internal registers, completing process parameter setting and equipment status monitoring; it can connect to a barcode scanner via the RS-232 interface to achieve rapid input and traceability of product barcode information. It supports a variety of mainstream industrial communication protocols, including Modbus RTU, EtherNet/IP, and GE SRTP, and can achieve seamless connection with third-party PLCs such as Siemens S7 series and Mitsubishi FX series without the need for additional protocol conversion modules, reducing system integration costs. At the same time, it supports communication fault diagnosis. When a communication link is interrupted, a fault prompt (e.g., "PLC communication interrupted, please check network cable connection") is displayed on the screen immediately, and the fault occurrence time is recorded, facilitating quick troubleshooting by operation and maintenance personnel.
This HMI supports GE Proficy Machine Edition, a professional configuration software. The software has a built-in rich library of graphics, controls, and functional modules, including common components such as buttons, indicator lights, numerical display boxes, trend charts, alarm windows, and process flow diagrams.
