Overview of HMI Models and Specifications

The document presents a range of Human Machine Interface (HMI) terminals from Ghisalba, detailing models HMI04BU, HMI04CE, HMI06BE, HMI06GE, HMI06CE, HMI08CE, and HMI10CE. These models vary in display technology (STN, FSTN, SIN, TFT), color depth (from 8 colors to 65,536 colors), and screen resolution (320x240 to 640x480 pixels). Display sizes range from 3.8" to 10.4".

Key hardware features include a 32-bit RISC microcontroller running at 206.4 MHz, real-time operating system, and varying memory capacities for program storage, historical data, recipes, alarms, volatile and non-volatile data registers, and backup memory. External memory support includes SD cards and USB disks, with USB data storage and download capabilities.

Function keys range from 4 to 7 depending on the model. The devices have built-in calendar functions, natural ventilation, and protection ratings of IP65 / NEMA 4X, compliant with CE, UL, cUL, and C-Tick standards. Operating temperature is 0-50°C, storage temperature -20 to 60°C, with humidity tolerance and shock/vibration resistance per IEC standards. Power supply is 24 VDC with power consumption from 2.64 W to 15 W. Backlight life varies from approximately 20,000 to 50,000 hours at 25°C.

Remote Control and Connectivity Features

The HMIs support remote control of various motor starters and inverters, with simultaneous connection to multiple device models. They provide a unified interface for different devices, configurable parameterization, and customer logo customization.

Remote control kits are available for different devices such as MINISTART, SOLSTART + DX, CSD, HRSV-DN, VFD1, VFC3, VFC2, CNP, ELC, and EZ, with components including keyboards, cables, and frames depending on the device. Visualization modes include single and multi-visualization (up to 32 devices), with video sizes from 4" to 10" and color options from blue mode, grayscale to full color TFT.

Applications and Supported Protocols

The HMIs are applicable across sectors such as water management, naval, paper industry, and general automation. They support setting parameters like flow rates, pressures, and levels; command functions including start, stop, reset; and recipe management with upload/download capabilities.

Dedicated and customizable drivers are available for devices from manufacturers like Allen Bradley, Matsushita, Danfoss, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Festo, GE Fanuc, Omron, Keyence, Telemecanique, Lenze, Koyo, LG, and others. Communication protocols supported include Modbus ASCII/RTU and UniTelway.

Motor Control and Power Specifications

The document lists motor power and current ranges supported by the system, from small motors (0.4 kW) to large industrial motors (up to 800 kW), with corresponding current and I/O capabilities. Power supply voltages vary widely, including 24 VDC, 220 V single-phase, and three-phase voltages from 200 V up to 13,800 V.
