Description
The IC754VSI12CTD is a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) terminal manufactured by GE Fanuc (now GE Automation) for their QuickPanel+ product family. Here’s a breakdown of the information:
Product Name:
- GE Fanuc QuickPanel+ IC754VSI12CTD HMI Terminal
Product Description:
An HMI terminal acts as an interface between human operators and machine controllers. The IC754VSI12CTD provides a visual representation of the machine’s status, allows operators to monitor and control various aspects of the process, and can be used for data logging and troubleshooting.
Product Parameters:
- Display: 12.1-inch TFT LCD touchscreen display for user interaction.
- Touchscreen Technology: Likely utilizes resistive touchscreen technology for touch input (confirmation needed from datasheet).
- Processor and Memory: The specific processor and memory capacity might not be readily available without a datasheet, but it should have enough processing power to run the HMI software and handle user interactions.
Product Specifications (Refer to GE Automation datasheet for complete details):
- Processor: The type of processor and its clock speed.
- Memory: RAM (Random Access Memory) capacity for storing program data and user interface elements.
- Communication Ports: The available ports for connecting the HMI to the machine controller (e.g., Ethernet port, serial ports).
- Programming Software: The specific software used to develop and upload the HMI program onto the device.
- Input/Output (I/O) Points: While HMI terminals primarily focus on user interaction, some models might have limited I/O capabilities for connecting to external sensors or actuators (refer to datasheet for confirmation).
- Environmental Ratings: The operating temperature range, humidity tolerance, and vibration resistance for reliable operation in various environments.
- Power Requirements: The voltage and current required to power the HMI terminal.
Finding More Information:
GE Automation might not have readily available information on the discontinued IC754VSI12CTD on their website. Here are some alternative methods:
- Industrial Automation Parts Suppliers: Some industrial automation parts suppliers sell replacement parts for discontinued control systems. These websites may have datasheets or specifications for the IC754VSI12CTD if they carry it as a replacement part.
- Online Resources: Tech forums, automation communities, or online resources might have discussions or references to the IC754VSI12CTD, potentially providing some details or alternative sources for information. Search for the model number on forums or archive websites.
- Contact GE Automation Support: While unlikely to yield a wealth of information, you can try contacting GE Automation through their website or by phone. They might be able to point you towards resources or suggest similar replacement parts with available specifications.
Important Considerations:
- Discontinued Product: The GE QuickPanel+ series might be discontinued. While replacement parts might be available, they may become increasingly difficult to find over time.
- Technical Expertise: Using and replacing components in a control system might require technical expertise in industrial automation and electrical engineering. Programming the HMI terminal also requires knowledge of the specific HMI software used by GE Automation.
- Safety Precautions: Working with electrical components within a control system requires following safety precautions to avoid electrical hazards. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
