Mitsubishi Electric Automation Introduces Graphic Operation Terminal with Touchscreen Capability

Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. (Mitsubishi) has introduced the GOT2000 Series, a human machine interface (HMI) that monitors and controls machine components with a graphical touchscreen. Operators are able to  interact with this HMI through intuitive gestures and multi-touch actions, much like they do with tablet and smartphone technologies.

According to the manufacturer, the GOT2000 acts as a seamless gateway to industrial automation devices, including programmable logic controllers (PLC), variable frequency drives, servos and temperature controllers. The display is designed to optimize operator control and monitoring of device and line status.

The GOT2000 Series can also integrate wireless LAN communications, allowing for flexible system designs. Other features include expansion slots for optional communication and dual processors. Particularly useful to OEMs is a flexible SD card drive that provides storage, as well as an interface to quickly load program, OS and PLC backup files. Mitsubishi says that remote access to the HMI and connected equipment also allows for easy maintenance and training.

The GOT2000 Series graphic operation terminal provides options for virtually all types of industrial automation applications. Large screens up to 15” provide are well suited for automotive and other large facilities. The white frame models provide an easy-to-clean flat surface for food and beverage applications. Smaller screen sizes down to 3.7” offer flexible options for any size machine.
