UniOP eTOP30-0050 operation panel
UniOP eTOP30-0050 is a professional 10.4-inch color touchscreen Human-Machine Interface (HMI) from the established eTOP Series 300.
Designed for demanding industrial automation, it combines a high-resolution display with the robust communication capabilities typical of Exor’s UniOP family.
1. Introduction
The UniOP eTOP30-0050 serves as a powerful visualization gateway for factory floors.
Featuring a large 10.4″ TFT display, it provides operators with a clear, high-contrast interface for monitoring complex machinery and production lines.
It is widely used as a “universal” panel because of its ability to interface with virtually any PLC brand, from Siemens to Rockwell.

3. Product Advantages and Features
Vivid Visualization: The 10.4″ VGA screen is significantly larger than entry-level models, allowing for complex P&IDs, multiple trend graphs, and larger touch targets.
Massive Driver Library: Supports over 150 communication drivers, making it compatible with legacy and modern PLCs alike.
Rugged Aluminum Bezel: Features a flat-front design that prevents the accumulation of dust and allows for easy wipe-down in hygienic environments.
Advanced Functionality: Includes built-in support for 1024 alarms, 32 KB recipe storage, and multi-level password protection.
UniNET Networking: Can be integrated into a local network to share data across multiple UniOP panels or serve data via OPC Server.
4. Application Cases
Steel & Heavy Manufacturing: High-contrast display remains readable in environments with high ambient light or electrical noise.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical: Used for process control where detailed flow diagrams and precise setpoint entry are required.
Automotive Production: Managing complex robotic cells and multi-stage assembly lines.
Marine & Shipping: Monitoring engine performance and vessel status on large control consoles.

5. Installation and Maintenance
Mounting: Requires a panel cutout of 276 x 221 mm. The faceplate dimensions are 287 x 232 mm.
Wiring: Use a regulated 24V DC supply (~700 mA). Ensure the communication cable is shielded to prevent data loss.
Battery Replacement: Equipped with a CR2430 3V Lithium battery for the Real-Time Clock (RTC). If the “Battery Low” LED blinks, the battery should be replaced immediately to avoid losing data retention.
Configuration Mode: To enter setup, power the unit on while holding any three keys on the screen (or use the tap-left/tap-right method for keyless setups).
6. Other Models in the Same Series
| Model | Key Difference |
| eTOP31 | STN (Passive Matrix) display, usually more cost-effective but lower contrast. |
| eTOP32 | Variant often featuring different memory or backlight configurations. |
| eTOP33 | Enhanced version with different communication port layouts. |
| eTOP50 | Larger 15″ version for applications requiring maximum visibility. |
7. Unique Product Description
The UniOP eTOP30-0050 is the “Grand Stand” of the eTOP 300 series.
While smaller panels focus on basic input, the eTOP30 is built for comprehensive system oversight.
It offers the perfect balance of legacy serial connectivity and modern modular expandability (Ethernet/Fieldbus), making it the gold standard for engineers looking to modernize their machine’s UI without replacing the entire control architecture
