High performance panels

The X2 series offers high performance by power-efficient ARM9 processors all the way up to the latest quad core ARM Cortex-A9 processors delivering fast program execution and screen change.

 

Prepared for industrial environments

X2 panels operate in wide temperature ranges of -10°C to +50°C, -10°C to +60°C and -30°C to +70°C, and offer strong IP65, IP66, NEMA 4X/12 and UL Type 4X/12 ingress protection for any industrial environment.

The X2 range holds all the certificates needed to perform in the field. All product families offer UL, CE, FCC and KCC certification and the majority of panels holds extended classes of marine certifications making them a perfect choice for onboard or offshores applications. The X2 extreme HMIs are even certified for hazardous environments where gases, vapors and dust are present.

 

Integrated CODESYS control – now including marine and rugged panels

The X2 control and X2 motion panels offer integrated CODESYS PLC functionality by standard for lean automation solutions. Thanks to the power of modern technology, the operator interface and the control logic can be united in a single compact hardware device. Just add distributed I/Os and you’ll get an elegant, scalable and cost-effective solution. The control functionality by CODESYS, runs on dedicated CPU cores for safe and fast program execution. X2 marine and X2 extreme panels are now available with optional CODESYS control.

 

Smart integrated solutions with iX and WARP

X2 panels are supported by the standard version of iX HMI software and the new WARP Engineering Studio. iX combines top-class graphics and smart functions that provide intuitive operation and almost limitless connectivity.

Use WARP engineering Studio to create integrated automation solutions faster, better and easier than ever before. WARP will automatically configure all your hardware, software and communication settings, and access all individual application software included in your application. What used to take days to set up, can be up and running in a few minutes.

A great feature of WARP Engineering Studio is the introduction of smart objects. A smart object includes ready-made, embedded functionality such as PLC code, HMI screens, etc. Drag a smart object into your work space and just drop it on a device. All embedded code is then injected into the targeted devices. Smart and time-saving.
