Devices in the Power Panel 300 embedded product line are visualization terminals that can be connected to additional Power Panel terminals, industrial PCs, controllers, or any other high-level computer system. However, the Power Panel 300 is more than just a simple display unit. In addition to handling its visualization tasks, the Power Panel 300 can also execute any software component that can run on a controller. Power Panel 100 devices can be programmed with Automation Studio, our extensive configuration and programming tool.

Distributed or central data storage

The data points are stored either on a central controller (terminal mode) or directly on the Power Panel CompactFlash.

Open communication

The RS232 and Ethernet interfaces on the Power Panel 300/400 can be programmed as needed. This makes it possible to couple various peripherals or to connect with higher level systems.

Power Panel 400 devices integrate both control and motion technology. These devices are equipped with up to two slots for interface modules and support CAN bus, X2X Link, or POWERLINK connections.

Programming with Automation Studio™

Automation Studio handles uniform configuration and programming of the controller and visualization. Combining a Power Panel 300 and 400 in terminal mode achieves an even higher level of freedom. For example, a Power Panel 400 located on one side of the machine can handle all the control and visualization tasks, while a Power Panel 300 on the other side of the machine can manage a second visualization application.
