Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays


Remote touch screen display

January 2011 Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays

Banner Engineering has introduced the iVu remote touch screen display, the latest addition to Banner’s innovative iVu image sensor series, to deliver easy to apply yet comprehensive vision inspection to inaccessible areas. Both the iVu TG image sensor and iVu bar code reader – first introduced with integrated touch screens for onsite inspection setup and modifications – are available as iVu remote series sensors, allowing them to be used with a separate display. This arrangement allows users to program iVu sensors through a single display and change inspection parameters remotely. With the iVu remote display, users can realise the benefits of an all in one vision inspection solution in areas restricted to personnel access including sealed work cells, cleanrooms or other certified areas.

The iVu remote display has the same intuitive programming interface as the iVu’s integrated touch screen, which speeds operator training and reduces installation time. One display can be used to program multiple iVu sensors. Remote series sensors operate independently, so the display can be hot swapped to minimise downtime when reprogramming sensors to satisfy new application requirements.

Connected via a 1 to 16 m cable, the remote display facilitates access to the user interface and allows personnel to view inspection images from a distance. The feature proves particularly beneficial in certified application environments where personnel access could compromise the integrity of the area, leading to downtime and potential recertification costs.
