Mobile operator panels allow for direct operator control of the plant and machine from any point.  Additionally, it supports optimized monitoring of the workpiece or process providing at the same time direct access and direct line of sight to the operator panel.  Flexibilty is provided to the application with simple reconnection during operation (Mobile Panel 177 and Mobile Panel 277) or Wireless freedom (Mobile Panel 277(F) IWLAN).

Mobile Panels have pixel-graphics and a brilliant color display with touch screen (analog/resistive).  Communications is through PROFIBUS or PROFINET or PROFINET through WLAN with Mobile Panel 277(F) IWLAN.  The Panels are freely configurable and inscribable function keys (with LED).

Even for larger production facilities, complex or enclosed machines, long materials handling or production lines and conveyor systems, mobile operator panels allow fast and precise set up and positioning during commissioning. They also ensure shorter downtimes during retooling, maintenance or repairs.
