~4 Line LED display over ethernet/ip recommendations

7 posts in this topic

I would like to add a 4 line led display or something similar to our lines to display parts produced, last cycle time and stuff like that.

I did find the  https://www.electronicdisplays.com/industrial-message-signs-and-displays-14  . Unfortunately the price is a little steep when you factor in that you have to buy the EIP gateway separably to make it work over Ethernet/IP.

 

Can anybody recommend something? ~1200 dollars, easy instructions and AOIs for Studio 5000 are my wishlist.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

The above will support Modbus TCP through the ethernet port.

You could also look at an EA9-RHMI unit. An HDMI cable would attach to a large screen TV monitor. This would come in under your budget price and give a good display inside the plant.

I hope this helps you out.

Since this is the Allen Bradley section I will point out that Only the ML1400 supports ModbusTCP MSG's

This is perfect! Thank you so much!

If all I want is to display a few things, its hopefully not to difficult to set up?

I've used C-Mores across some Rockwell platforms.  Mostly with ML and CLX.  All via Ethernet, so I foresee no issues.

Yes , it's one of the negative points of Allen Bradley. I use a Prosoft gateway to communicate with Modbus, but it is an ugly solution. For me it's a great disadvantage of Allen Bradley. The posibility to communicate with open standards it's basic in my opinion.
