New control terminal “PPM II smart HMI”
On the occasion of “wire 2024” in Düsseldorf, the company Woywod from Germany presented a new user interface: The 10 inch “PPM II Smart HMI” operating terminal.
This innovative solution combines an IPC (Industrial PC) and the PPM-Net interface in a single device, which not only saves space but also enables seamless integration into existing systems.
The outstanding feature of the “PPM II Smart HMI” is the ability to be connected to all PPMs via the integrated CAN bus. Even older controls with the conventional rotary/push button can now be controlled and maintained remotely using this terminal.
The special features of this system are diverse: The robust aluminum housing and the IP65 front make it suitable for use in demanding environments. The touchscreen interface, similar to the proven PPM-TSC software, enables intuitive operation.
Thanks to a separate 24V DC / 5A power supply, the “PPM II Smart HMI” can be used flexibly. The high-resolution display with 1280x800 pixels ensures a clear representation of the content.
A mixing system is operated via a material and recipe database as well as material tests (for volumetric dosing units/mixing stations), which can be carried out directly via the terminal. The configuration of devices and systems is thus simplified and optimized.
The “PPM II Smart HMI” offers a comprehensive range of connectivity options including Ethernet RJ45, RS485, RS232, CAN 2.0 B, Bluetooth, WLAN/WLAN AP and OPC-UA server. This versatility allows for easy integration into various systems and networks.
The heart of the system is a 64bit quad-core processor with 1.5GHz and 8GB of RAM. The programming is based on the PPM-NET interface and the PPM TSC software and offers a user-friendly web interface for configuration, system operation as well as material and recipe management.
The “PPM II Smart HMI“ supports all PPM II controllers and enables connection to the modules via the CAN bus. Other communication protocols such as ModbusTCP/IP and OPC-UA are supported via LAN or WLAN. Fieldbus variants such as Profibus, CANopen and Ethern etIP can be integrated using external converters.
With the “PPM II Smart HMI 10” inch operator terminal, the company offers a new control technology that combines efficiency, flexibility and user-friendliness.
