Vision1040

The Vision1040™ is a powerful PLC with a built-in HMI Operator Panel comprising a 10.4” colour touch-screen and nine programmable function keys. On-board I/Os can be added by simply snapping a module onto the back of the PLC; Snap-in I/O Modules come in several configurations. I/O Expansion modules enable integrating up to 1024 I/Os per Vision PLC.

The Vision1040™ offers a rich range of embedded features such as multiple auto-tuned PID loops, and internal 120K database for datalogging and recipe programming. Communication options include TCP/IP Ethernet, GSM/SMS, MODBUS and CANopen networking plus remote access for data acquisition and program download. In addition this is the first Vision controller to comprise a USB programming port.

2MB Ladder code application memory (plus 32MB for images and 1MB for fonts) enable the Vision1040™ to run complex control and automation tasks.
The 16-bit 65,000-colour touch-screen HMI enables the display of colour-coded operator instructions and red, attention-grabbing alarm screens. It can also display graphs according to historical values—to reflect trends of recorded data. Display options are almost endless with more than 1000 user-designed screens, and up to 500 images per application.

The Vision PLC/Graphic HMI series introduces an unbeatable price-performance ratio, enabling users to enjoy the advanced features of both the operator panel and the PLC, while maintaining low budget, reduced programming time and minimum wiring.

Special Features

Flexible PID: Up to 20 built-in PID loops, including internal auto-tune, ramp-soak programmer and bumpless transfer. Use Vision1040™ PID loops to control temperature, level, and pressure, while the colour touchscreen displays data, colour trend graphs, and red, attention-grabbing alarm screens.
Data Tables: Use Vision’s smart data tables (120K dynamic data and 192K fixed data), for datalogging and production recipes programs.
Easy Scrolling between Recipes: Simply scroll between pre-programmed recipes or menus, using pre-programmed touchkeys. This enables you to choose and activate a desired task via the HMI - immediately, on-site.
Image library: Easily design your graphic displays using the Vision’s extensive image library.
Time-based Control: Do you need a specific task to be performed at a specific time and date? Simply mark the hour, date or weekday in the PLC software—and you have created time-based control in 3 clicks.
Information mode (touchscreen): Press the touchscreen for a few seconds to enter the PLC’s Information Mode, providing you with powerful diagnostic capabilities.
Shaft-encoder Inputs: Use the controller’s integral 10kHz inputs as high-speed counters, frequency measurers, or to directly connect to shaft-encoders.
PWM Outputs: Control stepper motors or PID-based applications, via PWM, with the Vision's onboard PWM outputs (up to 50 kHz for npn).
Virtual Keypad: Application requires data entry? The Vision's virtual keypad pops up automatically.

Software

All-in-one software enables you to develop your PLC and HMI applications in one environment, establish modem and data communications, test and debug your programs in on-line mode, remotely access your controller, and more.

Use the Ladder editor to:

Click-and-drop Ladder elements
Build modular programs; create subroutines and call them into your program
Benefit from built-in function blocks such as Trends, PID, Loadcell, GPRS, Drum Sequencer, MODBUS Serial/IP, SMS, Protocol Serial/TCP/IP

Use the HMI editor to:

Assign "Touch" properties to any screen element
Create and conditionally display operator messages that contain text and images
Use colour images and graphs to reflect current variable values and historical trends
Assign functions to softkeys and touchscreen elements
Creat a multilingual interface, that enables instant language switching via the HMI
