Motor Technology has introduced a new range of touch screens to go with its Servostar range of servodrives and motors. The new LX range offers incredible value for money, the company says, as each unit combines user-friendly touch screen functionality with a powerful logic controller, extensive I/O capabilities and networking in one robust and reliable package. The units enable programming under IEC61131-3 with a single, powerful, ladder logic software package called Cscape that allows users to easily design the HMI screens as well as access the control functions, drive set-up, networking and I/O configurations.

Cscape simplifies the programming tasks by eliminating the need for multiple software packages as commonly associated with programming individual PLCs, Drives and HMI products.

The touch-screen panels are high visibility monochrome and STN colour versions with adjustable display properties offering excellent readability to the user, even in the most difficult conditions. The combination of the LX Touch Screen with the Servostar offers a particularly flexible and cost-effective solution without the need for an additional PLC or motion controller.

Typical applications include, labelling, pick and place, registration, synchronisation, cut-to-length and gearing.
