Introduction:
The iKAN series is a family of industrial Modbus LED display devices that deliver industrial-grade anti-noise capabilities as well as reliability and stability. ASCII characters and Unicode characters, which can be used to display multiple languages, are supported for presenting formatted messages. Support for the popular Modbus industrial protocol is provided meaning that iKAN display devices can be easily integrated into existing PLC and SCADA environments. The iKAN series allows data written from a PC or a PLC to be displayed in a formatted message in real-time. Seven colors are available for the text, which can be used to indicate different degrees of importance of the message, as well as significantly increase the readability of the message in an industrial arena.
Messages can be edited using a standard web browser, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or IE, etc., on a PC, mobile device, or smartphone without any limitations related to specific control tools or programs. The display of individual messages can also be remotely enabled or disabled as necessary using the same standard web browser. Each model in the iKAN series provides storage space for up to 128 messages with priority configuration. In addition, 168 user-defined variables allow data on a PC, PLC or other controller to be automatically integrated into a message and then displayed. With an open user interface and the ability to display real-time data, the iKAN series of display devices can be installed in a variety of indoor spaces, including shopping malls, railway stations, and industrial areas.
Application:
Assembly Line Machine Information Display
The iKAN display can be employed as a large HMI with a memory storage of up to 128 messages, each of which can be used to display information generated by a remote controller. A range of seven colors is available for the text, including red, blue, yellow, green, light blue, purple and white, which can be used to indicate warnings or alarms, as well as increasing the readability of a message.
Indoor Air Quality Display
The iKAN display can be used to directly read indoor air quality monitoring data from an external DL-302 module, including the carbon dioxide level, temperature and humidity, and then display the information in real-time, making it suitable for commercial and public buildings, such as schools and museums, as well as for retail, leisure and healthcare facilities where personnel are required to stand for long periods of time, and where the indoor air quality is required to be monitored and displayed at the entrance or lobby of the building.
