(Cincinnati, Ohio – 6/15/10) – The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech introduces the WOP-2000 series for applications involving the use of PLCs, motion/thermal controllers, inverters and sensors. Bundled with PM Designer 2.0, (a software development kit that creates application solutions for labor-saving, improved efficiency of manufacturing, and easy control of every machine in the factory), the WOP-2000 series offers an outstanding price performance ratio for various markets such as conventional operator panels, HMI + low mini SCADA systems, and HMI + communication gateways.
PM Designer is proven to be an easy to use integrated development tool featuring solution-oriented screen objects, high-end vector graphics, Microsoft® Windows™ fonts for multi-language applications, recipes, alarms, data loggers and operation logging. PM Designer also includes online/offline simulation and other utility programs such as Data Transfer Helper (DTH); recipes editors and text editors. The WOP-2000 runtime, a part of PM Designer, guarantees reliability and performance because of the minimum system overhead, high communication data rates, sub-second screen switching, and 24/7 operation.
The WOP-2000 series consist of up to 200 MHz ARM9-based processors and 4 ~ 16 MB flash memory. They support a variety of LCD sizes from 3.5” to 12.1” and are highly suited for applications involving the use of PLCs, motion/thermal controllers, inverters, and sensors.
