  • Configurable I/Os: association of any function to any input or output (I/O)
  • Modular design that allows future expansion of I/O's, which can increase the capacity of arms to be controlled
  • Firmware updates performed in the field via Local Access Device (LAD) that uses an SD card and is certified for use in hazardous areas, without the need for a computer in the field. It is the only preset on the market that has this function.
  • Intuitive interface in Portuguese with icons on an 8” WVGA color display that eliminates the need for special training for operators
  • Advanced alarm management: monitors twice as many parameters as other models
  • Real-time diagnostics: dashboard for quick problem identification
  • Interface with Terminal Management Software (TAS) over Modbus TCP for fully automated terminal control
  • Non-volatile memory recording of up to 10,000 transactions and 100 calibration records
  • Identifies the driver and stores vehicle data input, product scheduling, recipes and loading control in a simple and secure way
  • It can be supplied with two power supplies, thus maintaining operation even if one of the sources burns out.
