August 11, 2017 — Many manufacturers are struggling with unreliable human machine interface (HMI) applications that use outdated operating systems. With Rockwell Automation's Allen-Bradley VersaView 5000 industrial computer, thin client and monitor series, manufacturers can modernize their stand-alone or distributed HMI applications to support smart manufacturing.
The VersaView 5000 product portfolio is part of Rockwell Automation's scalable computing products and includes five products: VersaView 5400 display and non-display computers; VersaView 5200 display and non-display thin clients; and VersaView 5100 displays. Display options include a borderless glass display, 22-inch widescreen options, full HD and 10-point multi-touch functions, designed to help improve operator productivity.
When combined with Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk View Site Edition software in distributed applications, the VersaView 5400 industrial computer can provide compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. The software stores, processes, and transmits electronic records and signatures to show which employees have made changes. This is essential for highly regulated industries such as life sciences.
The VersaView 5200 thin client is Rockwell Automation's first thin client and is designed to be the preferred thin client hardware for use with the company's ThinManager software. The software centrally manages the content and visualization of all aspects of modern industrial operations.
When used with ThinManager software, the VersaView 5200 thin client can start receiving information immediately after it is plugged in. No equipment configuration is required, so equipment can be replaced more quickly. ThinManager software also provides multi-factor user authentication, including biometric authentication using fingerprint scanning.
In addition to the new 22-inch screen size, the VersaView 5000 product portfolio also includes 12-inch, 15-inch and 19-inch widescreen options. All screens have 10-point multi-touch function.
