multitouch screen human machine interface

With the ETT series, SIGMATEK launches operating panels that optimally combine multi-touch functionality in hard and software. The modern HMIs enable new, smart operating concepts that provide positive operating experience and conveys "zeitgeist".

Equipped with an ARM-based EDGE2 Technology dual-core processor, the ETT panels provide high performance (2x 800 MHz) with low power usage. 512 Mbytes of DDR RAM for internal program and data memory, 512-Mbyte storage (microSD) for data logging, recipe and alarm management are also standard functions, as well as a 2D and 3D graphics accelerator. Even with graphically complex operating surfaces, the ETTs are in their element.

In the new SIGMATEK HMIs, projective capacitive touch technology (PCT) is used, by which the sensors are protected on the back of the robust, solid surface of the glass front (IP65 protection). Up to 10-finger input, as well as the use of styluses and thin gloves are possible. For now, there are five ETT display sizes: 8.4 ? 10.4 ? 12.1 ? 15 and 19-inch in classic 4:3 format.

Optionally, a back-lightable logo gives the new panel series that special touch. The monochrome logo backlighting can be controlled via the application in any color (RGB). The ETT can therefore be perfectly integrated into the corporate design of the machine or equipment. The logo also lights when the touch screen goes into idle mode. It would then be also possible for the user to program an alarm in the software and the backlit logo blinks when an error occurs ? a clever distinguishing feature with added value.
