One of the highlights that ACD Elektronik presented at the Soltekin booth at Advanced Factories was the M2Smart® HMI. The M2Smart® HMI is a mobile HMI with functional safety according to DIN EN ISO 13849, which guarantees fatigue-free work throughout the day thanks to its ergonomic design. It combines safe and wireless machine operation with the ease of use of a smartphone or tablet.
The illuminated emergency stop button and the three-stage enabling switch guarantee safe machine operation, even in safety-critical areas. Furthermore, the quick-change battery ensures uninterrupted operation for many hours, and the capacitive 5- or 10.1” display ensures optimum visualization and operability. In addition, thanks to an interference-proof connection, all safety data is transmitted without interruption via Bluetooth, even under difficult environmental conditions.
The M2Smart® HMI panel is modular and available in two different sizes. Furthermore, the M2Smart® HMI is maximally flexible and additional functional elements can be added as needed. This is made possible by the open, secure AndroidTM Industrial+ operating system developed by ACD Elektronik and the patented mechanical-electrical interfaces that enable fast and, above all, tool-free module replacement.
Together with the new sales partner Soltekin, ACD Elektronik looks back on exciting days in Spain. With Soltekin, a mutually beneficial partnership could be established, which will open up great opportunities in the field of safe machine operation in the future.
