ABB POT 22 Operator Keypadd POT 22 H&B Contronic

Functional Features

Convenience of Operation

Compact Layout: Featuring a compact key layout, this design facilitates operation within a limited space. Although the number of keys may be relatively small, they cover the most commonly used function keys in system operation, such as numeric keys for inputting parameter values and function keys for performing basic operations such as start, stop, confirm, cancel, etc. This reduces the operator's time spent searching for keys during operation and improves operational efficiency.

Intuitive key design: The design of the keys is intuitive and easy to understand, and the function of each key is clearly labeled. Even first-time operators can quickly familiarize themselves with and get started with the operation. For example, important function keys may be highlighted in different colors or shapes, making it easy for operators to quickly locate and press the appropriate key in an emergency.

System Integration

Tight integration with the system: Customized for the H&B Contronic system, it offers deep integration with the system. It transmits the key commands entered by the operator to the system without error, ensuring that the system works as the operator intended. This tight integration allows the operator to use the keypad for precise control of the system, such as setting system parameters and adjusting equipment status.

Adaptation to multiple system functions: The H&B Contronic system can be adapted to a wide range of functions. Whether it is a simple start/stop operation or complex parameter setting and adjustment, the keypad can provide the corresponding key support. Furthermore, it can be adapted to new operating requirements through software updates or simple configuration adjustments in response to system upgrades or expanded functionality.

Durability and Reliability

Ruggedized construction: Ruggedized materials are used to manufacture the housing and keypad, which can withstand a certain degree of physical impact and frequent pressing operations. This durability is particularly important in industrial environments, where equipment can be subjected to impact, dust, moisture and other factors. For example, the keys have good elasticity and tactility, and after a long period of time they will not malfunction or the characters will wear out.

Stable Signal Transmission: It has stable performance in signal transmission and can effectively avoid signal loss or interference. It adopts reliable communication interface and transmission protocol to ensure that every key command can be accurately sent to the system. Even in industrial environments with strong electromagnetic interference, such as workshops where a large number of motors, inverters and other equipment exist, the accuracy and timeliness of signal transmission can be ensured.

Technical Parameters

Number and type of keys: The number of keys usually depends on the specific functional requirements, generally including numeric keys (0 - 9), basic function keys (such as confirm, cancel, scroll up, scroll down, etc.), and there may be some customized function keys, the total number of about 10 - 30. Types of keys may include mechanical keys, which provide good tactility and feedback, or membrane keys, which are thinner, lighter, and more durable.

Interface Type: Common interface types are used to connect to the H&B Contronic system, such as RS-232, USB, or other industry standard interfaces. These interfaces have good compatibility and versatility, making it easy to connect with different system devices, and support hot-swapping, so that the keypad can be safely inserted or pulled out during the operation of the device without causing damage to the system.

Working environment parameters: able to work normally under a wide range of working environment conditions. For example, the temperature range may be between - 10℃ - +50℃, and the relative humidity range is 10% - 90% (non-condensing), which can be adapted to different industrial site environments, such as high-temperature production workshops, humid warehouses and so on.

Application Scenarios

Industrial automation production line: At the control terminal of the automation production line, the operator can use the POT25 keypad to perform simple but critical operations on the production line equipment. For example, in a food packaging line, the keypad can be used to enter the number of packages, adjust the packaging speed, or start and stop the packaging equipment to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the production line.

Process control systems: In process control systems such as chemical, electric power, water treatment, etc., the keypad is used for quick adjustment and monitoring of process parameters. For example, in the chemical production process, the operator can modify the temperature setting of the reaction kettle, check the liquid level parameters through the keypad, or quickly stop the reaction process in case of emergency to ensure the safety and stability of the production process.

Equipment Monitoring and Maintenance: In the equipment monitoring room or on-site maintenance point, technicians can use the POT25 keypad to log into the equipment management system, view the equipment's operating status, fault codes and other information, and perform simple maintenance operations, such as equipment reset, parameter calibration, etc., which is convenient for the daily management and maintenance of the equipment.
