UniOP ERT-16 – Industrial PLC Workstation

Product Data Sheet UniOP ERT-16

ERT-16 – Industrial PLC Workstation

16 Line x 40 Character LCD

Full-Graphic 320×240 Pixel Resolution

Touchscreen Matrix Size 16×40

The ERT-16 fulfills the need for a powerful yet cost effective operator interface system. Displays are sixteen

lines of a pixel based LCD in monochrome color. These pixel addressable displays allow graphic capabilities

with our Designer for Windows software package. Each page can contain 16 lines. Each line can contain up to

40 characters. Brightness control is provided to adjust the display for easy viewing under nearly any condition.

Display Variables

PLC internal variables can be shown on any of the many display pages. The number of variables that can be

viewed at one time is limited only by the display size. UniOP also provides scaling (linear conversion) of the

displayed data. The final value can then be shown in several useful formats including bargraph, date, time,

decimal, bit, hexadecimal, floating point, and string. Data entry with valid range verification is also available

for each data type.

Data Entry

The ETT-VGA gives the user eight configurable function keys and seven user-definable LEDs. The analog

touchscreen adds the ability to create touchcells as small as a single character or as large as the entire screen.

Security

An eight-level password protection scheme protects critical system features from undesired access.

Alarms

UniOP can monitor and display up to 1024 alarms. Attributes and unique messages for each alarm can be

defined. Operator acknowledgment can also be required. The last 256 alarm events detected by the PLC are

retained in an internal event list. This list can be viewed on screen or printed on a serial printer to obtain a

permanent record.

Adaptability

Custom display screens are developed using the UniOP Designer™ for Windows™ programming software.

Your completed project file can be downloaded to the display through the serial port and permanently stored

in a Flash EPROM.

Graphic Capabilities

The ERT-16 allows you to display bitmap graphics. These bitmap graphics can be created with any

Windows™ based software package capable of BMP format.

Keyboard Macro Editor

A feature that allows you to configure your touchcells to do a variety of functions locally in the UniOP. For

example: turning pages, setting attributes, setting LEDs, writing to PLC, going to alarm list, uploading or

downloading a recipe set and many more. This can save many hours of ladder logic programming.

Recipes

This feature allows you to create a recipe with up to 255 parameter sets for each page of the project file.

UniOP has a total of 16K reserved for recipe storage. You can upload or download a parameter set from or to

the PLC. Once a parameter set has been downloaded to the PLC, the data contained within the parameter set

can be modified.

UniNET Network

The UniNET network allows you to design networks of varying configurations; from two panels with one

PLC to multiple panels with multiple PLCs. Data can be written to or retrieved from the PLCs in many

different locations at one time. The UniNET network creates a bridge between UniOP panels which allows

data to be shared by all PLCs in the network, regardless of the type or manufacturer.
