VSX DISPLAYS
- SIL2-approved hardware and software platform
- Diverse possibilities for use through different display sizes, formats and expansion stages
- Operation via touch and / or keys
- Any additional functions can be integrated through expansion boards
- Designed for use in rough working conditions
- Easy creation of a graphic user interface with the design and programming tool DevKit
Within the VSX display family, the focus is placed on safety, efficiency, communication and compatibility. This applies across various display sizes as well as across the variants "Basic", "Advanced" and "Professional".
The VSX displays with the SIL2 option distinguish themselves through a series of excellent characteristics for tasks which demand functional safety, starting with the Xilinx processor, which contains FPGAs with MicroBlaze processors for the realization of redundant and therefore safe functionality. The processors permit the parallel creation of images, a comparison of the results and reliable presentation. Individual elements can be visualized in the display and the assessment of analog camera signals takes place within a secure context. Due to the separate image processing, the main processor and memory are not placed under strain, meaning that they continue to perform at full power. Safety also includes input via the touchscreen or keys as well as the possibility for use of the communications interfaces in safety functions. Due to their special hardware architecture, the devices from the VSX series facilitate the display of initial information as well as the processing of protocols immediately after start. The programming of the VSX displays takes place via the intuitive, graphic development interface DevKit, in which the end user already receives 35 conveniently configurable elements for standard HMI functions, the so-called widgets, which are also compliant with SIL2. DevKit can be used with Windows or Linux.
CASE STUDIES
While we are proud of our products and solutions, it is through our customers’ applications that the power in the innovative technology is unleashed. Whether fully networked, highly automated, or operating fully autonomously, an effective mobile machine represents first class interdisciplinary engineering. Robust and safe integration into the system architecture of the machine and its work processes, while remaining convenient and user friendly, is the main focus. With thanks to our customers, here we would like to present a small selection of example applications.
