Multi-display function Usage example

Andon monitor display

It’s possible to visualize the operating status of equipment and share information by displaying details such as production plans and results on an Andon monitor (large display) connected via an HDMI cable.
There is no need to prepare a computer for the Andon display; the X1 series alone can display and operate as an HMI as well as display information on an Andon monitor.

2-split screen

Two X1 applications (main & sub) can be run on the X1 series and displayed and operated on the same screen simultaneously by splitting the screen horizontally or vertically.
In addition to displaying data from the same or a different screen, it also supports the display of user applications such as engineering tools, displaying information with a high degree of density and freedom.

Expansion of the display / operation screen

To improve work efficiency, the amount of information that can be checked at one time can be increased by using the X1 series with an external display.
Touch operation is also possible on external displays with a touch switch, via connection using a USB cable.
One X1 series unit can be used for HMI display and operation equivalent to two units.

Since the X1 series is equipped with a web browser as standard, it is possible to use the browser function in applications and IT systems.
When combined with a monitoring system or network cameras, it is possible to monitor different machines on the network, and to check each status easily.

 

Cloud (MQTT) Compatible

Operation data, production data, status data, etc. are sent to the
cloud system via MQTT for collection and storage. It contributes
to the visualization and improvement of the factory.

Since the system is linked with the Microsoft Azure platform,
various tools and frameworks of the cloud service can be used.

Application example

Pharmaceutical equipment

Increased efficiency and improvement of the production system is realized by connecting to the cloud and analyzing, visualizing and
identifying trends of the collected data. Besides, it contributes to ensuring the security in pharmaceutical manufacturing by installing the
X1 series on pharmaceutical equipment that requires high-level security management.

Operation

System Configurator

“System Configurator” in the X1 series is for the installation of applications and Windows configuration.
Thanks to System Configurator, Windows applications can be started and switched between easily by the buttons on the HMI screen without displaying the Windows screen.
The X1 combines the power of a Windows IPC (industrial PC) with the in-depth control of a HMI.
