• Manufacturer Part Number: HG9Z-3C115A
• Description: Connector Assemblies
• Manufacturer: IDEC

Support of Leading Manufacturer’s PLCs
IDEC Touchscreen’s communications capabilities expand well beyond IDEC brand PLCs. Other major
PLC manufacturers supported are: Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, Omron, Automation Direct (Koyo),
Keyence, GE, Modicon, Siemens, Sharp, Hitachi, Schneider, Yaskawa, Fanuc, Matsushita Electric
Works (Aromat) and Yokogawa.
The 10.4” and 12.1” IDEC Touchscreens can remotely communicate with multiple devices or PLCs over
an Ethernet network, using the
Only one centrally located IDEC touchscreen is necessary to communicate with up to 16 PLCs that are
located in different locations. The Ethernet/IP driver supports the following Allen Bradley Series PLCs:
Micrologix, SLC500, PLC5 and ControlLogix.
1:N PLC Communication
This mode allows a single IDEC touchscreen to communicate with multiple PLCs. It is used when you
need only one centrally located touchscreen to monitor and control PLCs in different locations.
Depending on PLC type, a maximum of 31 PLCs can be connected to one touchscreen. PLC manufactur-
ers supported for 1:N communication are: IDEC OpenNet Controller and MicroSmart, Automation
Direct (Koyo): DirectLogic-DL205/405 and Modicon: Modbus RTU.
Pass Thru Function
This function lets you download a PLC program from a PC through the touchscreen without interrupting
operations. Only one cable is needed to program both units. The Pass Thru communications function is
applicable to the following PLCs: IDEC Micro3, Micro3C, OpenNet Controller, MicroSmart and
Mitsubishi MELSEC-FX, FX3UC and Q.
Approvals and International Ratings
The IDEC Touchscreen family is UL listed for use in hazardous locations (Class I Div. 2).
In addition, the 4.6” and 5.7” screens are IP65 and Nema 13 rated, while the 10.4” and 12.1” screens
are IP66, Nema 4, 4X, 13 rated so they can be used in the most demanding industrial applications.
O/I Link Communication
This link permits a single PLC to communicate with multiple IDEC touchscreens, where one touchscreen
serves as the master and up to 15 as slaves. An O/I Link will accommodate communications over a
maximum distance of 200 meters. The O/I Link should be used whenever you are using more than one
touchscreen in a location to monitor and control a single PLC.
NEW
Allen Bradley Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, or IDEC 1:N drivers.
Smart Form
Printer Function
You can use this capability to print alarm data
so a hard-copy record of specific events can be
maintained. Copies of screens can also be printed
when needed for documentation.
Serial printers are supported on all IDEC
Touchscreen displays. Parallel Printers supported
on 10.4” and 12.1” models only.
Barcode Reader Support
IDEC Touchscreens provide a serial port that you
can configure for use with special communication
devices such as barcode readers. A barcode reader
can send data directly to the touchscreen, where
it can be used for quick viewing before being
transferred to the PLC for further data manipulation.
Debugging Functions
Two modes are available for either monitoring
data or troubleshooting. Once you download the
project you created in WindO/I-NV2 to the
touchscreen, you can use the Debugging Mode to
communicate directly with the touchscreen and
switch between screens, or view and modify batch
data from the controls of your PC. In Simulation
Mode, you can use simple On/Off control
without connecting to the PLC.
