FH-1050-20 & NA HMI

[Andy_P]

System:

FH-1050-20 vision controller mapped into the EtherCAT network of an NJ controller, plus an NA HMI.

Can the vision output be made to display on the HMI?

[Crossbow]

Nope.  Any data sent to the NJ can be mapped to variables and shown on the HMI, but the image data cannot.

[Andy_P]

I thought as much! Worth asking the question though.

Normally FH is accompanied with a display screen, so image display on HMI will be unnecessary...

Also Omron has launched new Touch Panel special for the FH series

[Andy_P]

Yes, I have been made aware of the FH touch screen, and I think that is the route we will likely follow.

Our customer has asked us if we can display everything on one screen - i.e. the NA HMI - but it looks like the answer is no.

Funny - at a German fair I saw the NA showing the FH video on the Omron stand.

[Crossbow]

Berti, you may have seen the new industrial PC version of the NA.

Wo... is that out in the market already? Do you know the product code?

[Crossbow]

He was at a trade show.  It's not released as far as I know.

[innoaloe]

Ah OK... Maybe in next japan semester... This year Omron just released robotics and the new delta-tau, so I guess IPC gonna wait

[Crossbow]

It's supposed to be this year from what I heard, but I think summer release.
