From the large 12.1” TFT LCD Screen, to the compact
4.6” STN LCD, our screens support either monochrome or 256 colors with high pixel resolution to
give you sharp images and excellent visibility. In
keeping with IDEC’s attention to detail, our slimbody design adapts to applications where space is
limited. With up to 8MB of memory and a 200MHz
32-bit RISC CPU, IDEC Touchscreens put control,
power and speed at your fi ngertips.
Versatile, High functionality
IDEC Touchscreens can function as either a stand
alone controller or communicate with IDEC PLCs
and a wide array of major manufacturers’ PLCs.
Touchscreens interface with any of your equipment
to provide graphical data presentations in vivid color
and to display bar graphs and meters to represent
analog data. Illuminated pushbuttons can replace
physical mechanical switches; pilot lamps can display on/off states and show almost any production
information you need to monitor.
IDEC’s powerful WindO/I-NV2 software lets you create colorful graphical interfaces for easier production supervision and control. A built-in library of over
5000 bitmap images helps you easily display almost
every manufacturing activity you want to control.
Our programming software is intuitive and userfriendly. With re-sizeable pop-up screens, Windows
compatible fonts, and multilingual text capabilities,
you enjoy the utmost fl exibility in designing and
programming.

OI Touchscreen Family
Operator Interfaces
Features
The OI Touchscreen Family is ideally matched to today’s sophisticated technology.
Using a wide range of graphical options, you can represent specifi c equipment, make
production information immediately apparent and instantly display safety problems.
Consolidating controls on an IDEC touchscreen eliminates costly investments in wiring and installation of multiple pushbutton indicators on a traditional control panel.
Just think how you can benefi t with touchscreens.
Expansion I/O
An expansion digital I/O module gives you the
option of expanding your system with 16 DC
inputs and 16 transistor outputs for basic PLC
control (excluding 4.6” HG1F touchscreen).
Basic Data Representation
A built-in software library of over 5000 bitmapped images lets you graphically represent almost any plant activity or equipment that you want to monitor or control. In addition
to representing meters, bar graphs and switches, you can also incorporate keypads
to facilitate changing values. Our user-friendly programming software lets you
design each screen by simply selecting objects from a pull-down menu or from a row of object icons and dropping it onto the screen work area. All bitmap images are
available in 256 colors and are easily re-confi gurable.

Ethernet
The built-in 10BaseT Ethernet port found on the 10.4” and 12.1” touchscreens allow communications with PLCs using Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP or IDEC networking
protocol. The touchscreens also allow you to remotely monitor machine-operating status via the Internet or your Local Area Network using any web browser. Regardless of your location, you can use your PC’s browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer) to collect data about any touchscreen project. You can effi ciently monitor and
manage production activity from your offi ce without the time or expense of travel.
Recipe, Alarm and Trend Logging
Compact Flash Card
The Recipe function allows you to conveniently set operational parameters,
which can be individually defi ned for different processes. The Alarm function stores historical events with a date and time stamp compliant to the ISA
(Instrument Society of America) Standards, adding additional options to display
and manage alarm messages. Trend Logging expresses data in graphical form
according to the time period you defi ne. Using these functions, you can quickly
view production information and collect and manage data.

OI Touchscreens (excluding 4.6” HG1F) support Compact Flash (CF) Cards with
up to 512 MB of memory. In addition to storing recipe, alarm and trending data,
the CF Card can also store screen captures in a BMP format for documentation
purposes. The CF Card can hold one or more projects and you can easily transfer
a project directly to another touchscreen by simply inserting the card into the
second touchscreen and downloading what you need.

OI Touchscreen Family
Features, con’t
To meet your application needs, IDEC
offers 12.1” and 10.4” TFT LCD screens,
and 4.6” and 5.7” STN LCD screens that
come with 256 colors or in monochrome
to provide you with either multicolored or
gray scale graphics. All screens have high
pixel resolution and super bright LCD
screens with 400 cd/m2 for the 12.1”, 450
cd/m2 for the 10.4” screen, 250 cd/m2 for
the 5.7” and 500 cd/m2 for the 4.6” screen
to provide sharp quality images, with
RS-232 / RS-485 / RS-422 communica-
tion. In addition, all IDEC
Touchscreens communicate with IDEC as well as many other
industry leading PLC manufacturers.
Their slim body style of: 35.3mm depth for the 4.6” HG1F,
50mm depth for the 5.7” HG2F, 49.6mm depth for the 10.4”
HG3F, and 52.1mm depth for the 12.1” HG4F, provide an
advantage in space in a panel.
OI Link Communication
Support of Leading Manufacturer’s PLCs
IDEC Touchscreen communications capabilities expand well beyond IDEC brand
PLCs. Other major PLC manufacturers supported are: Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi,
Omron, Automation Direct (Koyo), Keyence, GE, Modicon, Siemens, Sharp,
Hitachi, Schneider, Yaskawa, Fanuc, Matsushita Electric Works (Panasonic) and
Yokogawa.
The 10.4” and 12.1” IDEC Touchscreens can remotely communicate with multiple
devices or PLCs over an Ethernet network, using Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, or
IDEC 1:N drivers. Only one centrally located IDEC touchscreen is necessary to communicate with up to 16 PLCs that are located in different locations. The Ethernet/IP
driver supports the following Allen Bradley Series PLCs: Micrologix, SLC500, PLC5
and ControlLogix.
Approvals and International Ratings
The OI Touchscreen Family is UL listed for use in hazardous locations (Class I Div.
2). In addition the 4.6” and 5.7” screens are IP65 and Nema Type 13 rated, while
the 10.4” and 12.1” screens are IP66, Nema Type 4, 4X, 13 rated so they can be
used in the most demanding industrial applications.
This permits a single PLC to communicate with multiple IDEC touchscreens,
where one touchscreen serves as the master and up to 15 as slaves. An OI Link
will accommodate communications over a maximum distance of 200 meters. The
OI Link should be used whenever you are using more than one touchscreen in a
location to monitor and control a single PLC.
1:N PLC Communication
This mode allows a single IDEC touchscreen to communicate with multiple PLCs.
It is used when you need only one centrally located touchscreen to monitor and
control PLCs in different locations. Depending on the PLC type, a maximum of 31
PLCs can be connected to one touchscreen. PLC manufacturers supported for 1:N
communication are: IDEC OpenNet Controller and MicroSmart family, Automation Direct (Koyo): DirectLogic-DL205/405 and Modicon: Modbus RTU.
Pass Thru Function
This function lets you download a PLC program from a PC through the touchscreen without interrupting operations. Only one cable is needed to program
both units. The Pass Thru communications function is applicable to the following
PLCs: IDEC OpenNet Controller and MicroSmart family, and Mitsubishi MELSECFX, FX3UC and Q.
Use this capability to print alarm data so a hard-copy record of specifi c events
can be maintained. Copies of screens can also be printed when needed for documentation. Serial printers are supported on all OI Touchscreens, while Parallel
Printers are supported on 10.4” and 12.1” models.
Barcode Reader Support
IDEC Touchscreens provide a serial port
that you can confi gure for use by special
communication devices such as barcode
readers. A barcode reader can send data
directly to the touchscreen, where it can
be used for quick viewing before being
transferred to the PLC for further data
manipulation.
Debugging Functions
Two modes are available for either monitoring data or troubleshooting. Once
you download the project you created in WindO/I-NV2 to the touchscreen, you
can use the Debugging Mode to communicate directly with the touchscreen and
switch between screens or view and modify batch data from the controls of your
PC. In Simulation Mode, you can use simple On/Off control without connecting
to the PLC.
