GE Operator Interface

QuickPanel+ now features multi-touch technology, providing the same pinch-to-zoom functionality as consumer touchscreen devices.

This makes viewing system-wide details simple, even on a 7-inch display. Double-tapping or pinching enables the interface to be enlarged to up to 400% of its original size. Navigation between interactive schematics can be achieved by simply swiping the screen. This also allows developers to build more intuitive HMIs by eliminating the need for a formal menu system. The units integrate integrates process control, view and an option to run an embedded data historian in a single device with touchscreen technology to provide the performance, connectivity and user experience expected in today's increasingly connected manufacturing environments. A general purpose operator interface capable of connecting to a variety of industrial PLCs and PACs, the unit is designed specifically to take advantage of the Industrial Internet, and is as responsive as a tablet or smartphone, yet able to withstand industrial environments and applications, even if the user is wearing gloves. The units are compatible with both the company's systems and a broad range of third-party controllers and I/O, and are available in 7-, 10-, 12- and 15-inch screen sizes, and with faster processing speeds and more memory.
