Coming soon a new black HMI touch screen panel with Android operating system with inputs and outputs on board.
16 digital inputs / outputs, 4 configurable analog inputs with 16bit resolution, 4 analog outputs 0..10V / 4..20mA.
Display HD 7 “capacitive resolution 1028×800 IP56.
Quad core A9 dinamyc frequency scaling from 400 to 1.4G Hz.
A new native library dedicated to manage the inputs and outputs.
Home and industrial automation projects employ a big set of products, such as sensors, touch screens, external modules, PLCs and HMIs in order to solve specific problems and dealing with special requirements. The current scenario shows that the logic and the user interface are frequently managed by different components, using a common bus in order to communicate and modify statuses.
Based on this state of the art, our research and development lab, designed and created a brand new product with the aim of merging some of the products presented above, in order to reduce complexity, enhance user interface experience and especially reduce the costs.
There is debate on the feasibility of employing Android on Industrial Automation applications.
Big companies contend the market share and most of the time constrains customers to use their proprietary software.
The world is changing and the Internet allows users to benefit from almost infinite availability of information, technical specifications and even to find people that freely share their knowledge and expertise.
Our vision is that in the close future, more industrial automation applications will benefit from the open community and they will lay the foundation to a new revival of this sector.
In this post, I want to show you how the integration of Android in industrial automation applications is possible. I also noted that is surprisingly straightforward.
