This new, affordable Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solution fully leverages the wide availability of web browsing software to enable distributed HMI software, remote support and application sharing on the Internet and IP Networks Interact Xpress HMI applications are developed, edited, published and run in an HMI that is a Web Server, allowing users and OEMs to easily publish upgrades and applications to any global location with an Internet connection and a web browser. Interact Xpress combines a rich, graphical runtime interface with HMI development tools that can be accessed from either the HMI panel or any PC running Internet Explorer®.

Interact Xpress software is pre-installed and bundled with CTC’s new XPR PowerStation hardware, which is designed to optimize the performance, storage and connectivity features of Xpress HMI. This NEMA4/4X-rated family of CE-based workstations is available in either an embedded no display unit or with a 6″, 8″, 10″ and 15″ TFT touchscreen display models. All models feature embedded fanless CPU technology, 256MB DRAM and a full range of standard features such as CompactFlash storage, 2 USB ports, 2 RS-232 and RS232/422/485 ports and a 100BaseT Ethernet port. With 512 MB of Compact Flash storage, XPR models use nonrotating storage media for high system reliability. And like all CTC Powerstations, these units are quality tested to endure more harsh conditions in a day than most operator stations see in a lifetime. That’s why we’re able to offer an industry-leading, 2-year limited warranty with free phone-based technical support for all of our products.

Application markets:

The OCS is comparable with a mid sized PLC in terms of performance. Programmed by a single, powerful ladder logic software package, you can actually develop HMI Screens within the ladder software as well as the control functions. Cscape, our software package, simplifies the programming task by eliminating the need for two software packages as commonly associated with programming PLC’s and HMI’s. Maths Script Language, can be added to our larger Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) units thereby enhancing their capabilities.

Interact X can run on a desktop, or on our Parker Industrial PC Powerstations. They are rugged, slim and cost effective. PowerStations offer more for less than other Industrial Workstations: More power, more memory, more reliability all with less heat dissipation, power consumption and at a lower cost than competitive units.

Camera + Software = Vision! A powerful smart camera in compact tightly sealed sensor housings with uniform dovetail mounting forms the basis of our VISOR® vision sensor and Eyesight vision systems. Among other features, it has integrated signal processing, LED Illumination (white, red, infrared, UV), data interfaces and digital I/Os, integrated optics or C-mount, as well as user-friendly configuration software.

More Information: Most of the inspection tasks that are required in practice can be solved with one of our VISOR® vision sensors that are ready for use in just a few steps. With up to 50 evaluations per second, our VISOR® vision sensors are also the right choice for rapid processes. And for particularly complex cases we offer the Eyesight, a flexible vision system with which you can also implement your most sophisticated automation requirements.
