TouchPLS Eliminates the Need for a Separate Operator Interface for your Modicon PLC

TouchPLS is a complete Graphical Operator Interface (OI) for the Modicon PLC in your system. Therefore, you do not need another OI for the PLC if you are using TouchPLS. It can communi-cate to your Modicon PLC, even while performing PLS functions. The OI part of TouchPLS is more than a pushbutton replacement. It offers

functionality not possible with other discrete operator panels. Not only can it replace common panel components, such as pushbuttons, pilot lights, selector switches, etc. very economically, but you also have complex flexibility. With TouchPLS, your control panel is never obsolete. Any changes can be made in minutes on-line, off-line, or even remotely.

The operator can't push the wrong button

TouchPLS panels display only the necessary controls that are needed for a particular function, and only when they are needed. Thus, not only can the machine's control panel be made far less cluttered; but, controls that are not needed at that moment are simply not available to the operator. This reduces possible operator confusion. And by locking out the operator's ability to touch the wrong control, using TouchPLS minimizes or eliminates damageand the resulting cost that could be caused by introducing inappropriate control signals to the machine.
