CP600 series
The CP600 series, ABB’s latest HMI, is now available in a broader range, from the entry level (4.3”) to the high-end panel (15”). It is highly flexible and is specifically designed for advanced applications in complex systems or processes. Using premium graphic panels created with either the PB610 engineering software or the web browser panels via the PLC web server, the CP600 series gives better information representation to ease human-machine interaction.
The engineering software is based on XML technology, enabling you to create easy intuitive graphics. Visual objects created with the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are totally independent of the operating system, providing high customization flexibility and easy integration with your automation system, as well as the easy creation of dynamic objects with configurable properties, the ability to interconnect objects, transformation or easy resizing and, quite simply, getting the most out of your creative design.
CP400 series
The CP400 series offers highly efficient and effective functionality such as alarm and event management, graphics, animation, macro and Ladder Diagram functionality and recipe management. The range is available from a compact 3" monochrome version up to a large 10.4" color TFT display. RS232 & 485 Modbus are standard communications options across the whole range with Ethernet being available on most products. Other options include Ethernet plus CF Memory card slots and USB ports. Most models are available in either STN or TFT screen format.
Hot IP Swap functionality: the panel will switch transparently from one PLC to another in the event of communication loss, with the active PLC ensuring a better sustainability of your installations and offering a permanent operational system. Available on the panel Ethernet version, this function is standardized for the whole range and is easy to configure with direct IP address-changing. Users can also manually select their own communication channel directly on the display. By creating a single program that you can duplicate on several PLCs, you will save memory and development time.
