IDEC HG1G 4.3″ HMI

IDEC Corporation has announced the 4.3″ HG1G HMI, which takes advantage of the worldwide standard 4.3″ LCD screen size. Being so widely used in consumer gaming devices and other commercial products, this screen size offers a larger and higher resolution display area at a lower cost.

The HG1G display has a TFT colour LCD with high resolution of 480 x 272 pixels, 65k colours, and 800 cd/m² brightness (sunlight viewable). Viewing can be configured for either portrait or landscape, with a viewing angle of 60° from top, 65° from the bottom and 70° from the left or right.

The HG1G HMI supports multiple communication protocols, up to four simultaneously. The serial port can support both RS232C and RS422/485 communications simultaneously, and the Ethernet port can support up to four hosts and three user communication protocols at the same time. It also has a built-in web server for remote monitoring. Remote users can monitor current values or processes, and control operation, print information, switch screens or change program values. Users can also remotely perform troubleshooting, run tests and perform maintenance.

The HG1G HMI LED backlight has a life of 70,000 h and the backlight can be automatically switched off when the unit is not in use.

A wide operating temperature range from -20 to 55°C, along with IP66F/IP67F and NEMA 4X protection, allows for installation outdoors, or indoors in washdown areas. The unit is suitable for installation in Class 1, Division 2 installations and has UL 508 approval. Input voltage is 12–24 VDC.
