Seameless switch meets demands of shrinking world
EAO meets the demands of a shrinking world, enabling the series 61 E-Stop to be integrated into compact control panels, mosaic panels, and a wide range of machinery and process control equipement.
The keypad features a 2x16 LCD character display and a 17-key arrangement and is specially designed to meet the RoHS environmental standard.
Additional wipe clean models are available suitable for harsh, dirty or dusty environments such as schools, hospitals and industrial sites.
Stuart Thorn, President and Chairman of Electrone Europe, comments: "Resellers and integrators will find this a unique, low-cost product that can solve a wide variety of network communication problems".
"The keypad's onboard memory allows setting to be adjusted either prior to shipping or remotely over the Internet afterwards".
"This vastly reduces the cost of sending engineers around the world".
Thorn continues: "Once it's installed it can phone home to host applications and connect back to your server".
"The bidirectional communication makes this product more like a terminal than a standard keypad".
One of Electrone's customers is using these keypads for an automated online printing solution.
Their users can print documents from hotels across the globe by accessing a website and then simply printing in a PIN code into the hotel lobby's keypad.
Thorn concludes: "This concept is just one example of the many possibilities available using this Internet accessible keypad".
"We expect them to be used for a diverse range of uses".
