PLC - Small Control Unit with up to 50 satellite displays
Control and visualization. The new PLC series expands the classic small control unit in the control cabinet with an integrated color display inclusive touch. In addition, this solution enables visualization on up to 50 satellite displays. There, measured values can be displayed and settings can be made by touch. Thanks to edge computing, even complex and visually appealing screen layouts can be easily implemented.
WiFi, RS-485, USB, Ethernet
Program your control tasks via USB and connect the desired satellite displays via RS-485 or wirelessly via WiFi/WLAN.
The basic version of the PLC-Core for DIN rail mounting offers 8 digital inputs, 4 relay outputs, 4 analog inputs (0-10V or 4-20mA) and one RS-232. Including Real-Time-Clock. The supply voltage is 12-24V.
In the control unit (core) there is a high quality TFT display with touch panel already to monitor the most important parameters.
Here you will find the two data sheets for hardware and software:
Arbitrarily expandable
Different requirements need different displays. Choose from 7 different sizes - as a recessed solution, for wall mounting or as a U-plaster solution. All displays were developed in Germany. The support includes at any time a direct contact person from the development incl. assistance in programming.

Individually networked
All process parameters are automatically synchronized with the satellite displays. This means that displaying current values can be flexibly implemented on one display, as well as individual settings for process parameters at another location. Each display follows its individual purpose: for service, work preparation, monitoring or management. Satellite displays are available in different sizes and designs.
PLCDesigner - The Windows Quick Programmer Tool
All touch and display functions as well as animations are freely programmable via the free Windows tool "PLCDesigner". Using a graphical WYSIWYG editor, individual pages can be created: here a background, there a logo and text, further a measured value, a slider, etc.
The tool also includes a simulator with which the result is immediately visible on the PC; including functionality via touch and the inputs and outputs on the core. Manage all satellites and connections in your project clearly. Download:
Wall mounting, DIN rail, flush-mounting, integration
Different locations require different housings. Therefore DISPLAY VISIONS offers all sizes as a built-in solution for seamless integration into your device. Alternatively, solutions with a housing for surface mounting are also planned. The small 2" display is also available for flush mounting (U-plaster).
In each case, the front is made of scratch-resistant glass. Thanks to a touch-sensitive surface, direct and intuitive interactions are possible. The following formats are planned: 2", 2.8", 3.5", 4.3", 5", 7", 10.1". All brilliant displays with 1,000 cd/m² in outstanding IPS technology for an all-round viewing angle and stable colors.
