The new M2Smart® HMI10TE Wired LE.
Focused on the essentials—for uncompromising performance!
With the M2Smart® HMI10TE Wired LE, ACD Elektronik is expanding its HMI product portfolio to include a wired solution designed specifically for high performance. The new mobile control device combines high computing power, user-friendly ergonomics, and reliable safety technology for demanding industrial applications.
At the heart of the new wired mobile operator terminal is the powerful Qualcomm® QCS5430 processor. With two high-performance cores running at 2.1 GHz each and four additional cores running at 1.8 GHz each, the operator terminal provides optimal conditions for demanding HMI applications. This makes it ideal for machine and system engineering, as well as for the safe and secure operation of cobots and AGVs, where short response times and flexible operation directly at the machine are essential. The powerful hardware is complemented by 64 GB of standard flash memory, which provides significantly more space for applications, project data, and visualizations. Additionally, an optional memory configuration of up to 128 GB is available, providing extra capacity for future applications and growing demands.
This focus on practical requirements is also evident in the cabling. With the M2Smart® HMI10TE Wired LE, a hybrid cable transmits safety functions, network data, and power supply voltage over a single line. This reduces cabling effort and significantly simplifies integration into machines and systems. Thanks to an integrated Push-Pull circular connector, the hybrid cable can also be quickly and easily disconnected from the operator terminal and just as easily reconnected to another machine. In combination with a replaceable battery, the M2Smart® HMI10TE Wired LE can thus be flexibly used on multiple machines without requiring a restart. This reduces downtime and increases efficiency during operation.
However, it is not just the hardware, but the entire design of the operator terminal that is consistently optimized for performance, efficiency, and easy machine integration. The deliberate omission of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth-compatible short-range wireless technology, NFC, and an integrated camera reduces complexity when implementing safety-critical applications. This simplifies security and safety assessments and makes the engineering process more efficient.
A mobile control device such as the M2Smart® HMI10TE Wired LE allows operation directly at the machin, right where the operator has the best view of the process. The freedom to choose the operating position increases mobility, improves visibility, and supports ergonomic working practices. The M2Smart® HMI10TE Wired LE offers enhanced ease of use thanks to additional handle positions that allow the handle to be adjusted in 45° increments. This supports ergonomic handling in various work situations while also enabling the HMI to be used in portrait format. An optimized strap with defined adjustment positions also makes it easier to adapt the device to different users and handle positions.
Optionally, the rear handle can be equipped with four integrated magnets. This allows the control unit to be attached to metallic machine surfaces and gives the user the option to safely set the control unit down in one place during extended work sessions. This reduces strain on the user and also enables work on the machine that requires the use of both hands.
With its consistent focus on performance, efficiency, and user-friendliness, the M2Smart® HMI10TE Wired LE combines all the features that are crucial for modern industrial applications. High computing power, efficient machine integration, and well-thought-out ergonomics lay the foundation for reliable, cost-effective, and efficient use in demanding machine and system concepts. The result is a mobile, wired HMI solution that integrates seamlessly into existing machine designs and provides users with optimal support for all operating and setup processes.
