AIS Releases a HMI Terminal Line Featuring Multiple Communication Protocol Support for PLC’s in Automation Applications

IRVINE, Calif.--()--American Industrial Systems Inc., AIS, is an ISO 9001:2008 certified supplier and manufacturer of human machine interface touch panel terminals, supporting multiple communication protocols and PLC drivers through a common hardware and software platform. This supported list of communication network protocols are used for process or industrial automation, building automation, substation automation, automatic meter reading and vehicle automation applications.

Support of popular communication network protocols and PLC Drivers

  • Process Automation Protocols: Profibus DP, PROFINET IO, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus RTU, CANopen, and EtherCAT
  • Industrial Control System Protocol: OPC
  • Building Automation Protocols: BACnet and Modbus RTU
  • Power System Automation Protocols: Profibus DP and Modbus RTU
  • Automatic meter reading protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Automobile and Vehicle Protocol Buses: CANopen

Features and Benefits for Plant Managers and Control Engineers

  • Enhance Flexibility: The ability to rely on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) human machine interface hardware and software supporting most PLC vendors, multiple communication networks protocols from one trusted platform.
  • Increased Performance and Efficiency: Integrated ARM 32bit embedded microprocessors and basic HMI editing and creation software preinstalled. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 operating systems is utilized to meet the real-time communications requirements of industrial automation and control systems. Standard Ethernet and IP technology provides ease of integration with systems by using common network to share information between production and business systems.

Quality and Reliable HMI System Platform

  • High electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
  • High-quality components with a high MTBF (mean time between failure)
  • Ruggedized design to operate in environments with temperature extremes and high levels of dust, dirt, grease, moisture, humidity, shock, vibration, and EMI/RFI
  • UL, CAS and FCC Certifications and, CE and ROSH Compliance
