Faceless HMI with built-in HDMI Interface and customizable resolution

By Lisa Eitel | January 19, 2018

Share

As the newest cMT Series offering, the cMT-HDMI has all the rich HMI functionality found in the cMT series. Without a touchscreen and LCD, this HDMI-enabled unit can work with screens of any size, so that screen size is no longer a limitation for applications needing bigger displays. It can also allow touch control via USB connection — for example, via an industrial touchscreen display (with a USB interface) or a USB mouse.

The compact DIN rail size (about the size of a human palm) makes it suitable for small panels or projects with size restrictions. The cMT-HDMI is also suitable for the Andon system. It can collect equipment and quality management data from the production line, process the data, and then send visualization and sound to a large screen monitor via HDMI … allowing real-time monitoring and control for onsite operators.

The cMT-HDMI provides built-in support for remote monitoring. By running the Weintek cMT Viewer application on cMT-iV5, smartphones, tablets, or PC, operators can remotely monitor their factories operations and throughput via cMT-HDMI. In addition, this HMI model also allows use of smartphones as barcode scanners, multimedia players, and IP camera viewers. It provides powerful connectivity, including IIoT protocol standards, MQTT and OPC UA, direct connection with databases, and more than 300 PLC/Driver communication protocols.

The cMT-HDMI also supports drivers for various Industrial-Grade Touch Monitors; like Hope Industrial Systems monitors that offer many Class 1, Division 2 options from which to choose.

The cMT-HDMI has a built-in HDMI Interface that lets users customize resolution to the most suitable for the chosen display device. The HDMI interface is easily converted to DVI/VGA with off-the-shelf adaptors. Via USB interface, the cMT-HDMI can work with most industrial touchscreen monitors on the market. With its Dual-Core Cortex-A9 1GHz CPU, built-in 4GB Flash and 1GB RAM, the cMT-HDMI is a high-performance unit with wide input voltage range. With built-in MQTT server & client, and the option to connect directly with Amazon Aws IoT, the need for hosting an MQTT server is MQTT server. eliminated which allows connection to the low-cost and reliable AWS IoT MQTT server.

Founded in 1996, WEINTEK LABS is a global-leading HMI manufacturer and is dedicated to the development, design, and manufacturing of practical HMI setups. WEINTEK LAB’s mission is to provide quality, customizable HMI-solutions that meet the needs of all industrial automation requirements while maintaining customer satisfaction by providing on-demand customer service. WEINTEK LABS brought their innovative technology to the United States in December 2016, Weintek USA Inc., in an effort to provide quality and expedient setups to the North American industrial market.
