Introducing Fuji Electric's Monitouch X1 series HMI: Experience seamless data sharing and equipment standardization with the advanced human machine interface (HMI) display. The Monitouch X1 is equipped with an OPC UA server and client, enabling efficient data collection by connecting to offices and production sites. Even with incompatible devices, the X1 series acts as a gateway to OPC UA, transferring data to the host system's clients. Discover the benefits of the Monitouch X1 and optimize your production site today. The X1 series offers the broad connectivity and flexibility you need for your plant's digital transition.
The Monitouch X1 display is equipped with OPC-UA Client-Server architecture. Data can therefore be collected by logging on from the computer or machine.
Even if a piece of equipment does not support the OPC UA protocol, the X1 series can be used as a gateway to transfer data to the host system's OPC UA clients.
The OPC UA protocol enables data to be shared between production sites and the host system, and facilitates equipment standardization.
The X1 Series collects and shares data from several machines with the host system via OPC UA. This boosts productivity, improves product quality and facilitates equipment standardization. Using the X1 series optimizes industrial automation and boosts the performance of industrial robots. Cloud-compatible (MQTT)
Operating data, production data, status data, etc. are sent to the Cloud via MQTT. This enables you to monitor and improve your production processes.
Combining this system with the Microsoft Azure platform means you can use different Cloud service tools and environments.
You can improve the efficiency of your processes by connecting to the Cloud to visualize data and analyze trends. By installing the X1 Series at critical points on your equipment, you can make your pharmaceutical manufacturing processes more reliable.
On the X1 series, the "System Configurator" function lets you install applications and configure Windows.
Thanks to System Configurator, you can launch Windows applications and easily switch between them from the HMI screen, without ever displaying the Windows home screen.
The X1 series combines the power of a Windows PCI (industrial PC) with the in-depth control of an HMI interface.
Windows applications can be used freely on production sites. Once the engineering tools for production machines have been installed on the X1 series, you can modify and monitor the program using the X1 series, without having to bring a PC to the production site.
What's more, by integrating PCs into the X1 series, you can reduce maintenance tasks and the space required for PCs on the production site.
The X1 series with Windows applications enhances versatility, scalability and HMI operation.
The X1 Series is equipped with a standard web browser, accessible from any application or IT system.
Combine this with a surveillance system or network cameras, and you can monitor different machines on the network and easily check the status of each one.
With vector images, you can create high-quality custom screens by enlarging/reducing certain elements without losing the sharpness of the image.
Two screens can be used simultaneously, with independent display and operation.
The display can also be duplicated on a large external monitor. Each screen can be oriented in landscape or portrait mode.
This means they adapt perfectly to the environment and space available on site.
Equipment operating status, production plans or results can be displayed on an Andon monitor (large screen) connected via an HDMI cable.
A computer is not required for the Andon display; the X1 alone can display and operate as an HMI, and link information to an Andon monitor.
You can align active applications at the touch of a button, without touching the keyboard or mouse.
This feature lets you switch easily from one application window to another, and improves system functionality.
For better visibility, when several pieces of information need to be checked simultaneously, an external screen can be added to display more data.
The touch option is available on external screens, by connecting a touch switch, via a USB cable.
An X1 series unit can be used for HMI display and equivalent two-unit operation.
