Hi I am looking for replacing my current HMI from Weintek cMT3162x in which its a capacitive touch. It is used on a high steam environment and during testing we found out that it is actually giving us an issue and we are thinking of upgrading it to operate around 70'C Temp environment. What HMI brand option i can use at least minimal changes during migration?
Any info is very much appreciated. Thanks

 

My first thought would be the Red Lion Graphite. They're only rated up to 60°C, but that's the highest I know of. I don't know if you're going to find one from another brand, though, that doesn't require starting over from scratch to migrate.

I looked quickly at the other ones I've used (Maple, AB PV+7, Red Lion CR, C-More) and they're all in the 50-55°C range. It may be that you can find a headless unit (Red Lion, Maple, C-more?, etc.) that supports a remote display that has a higher temperature range.

 

hi Joseph, Thanks for the reply this will add up on some of our options probably a lower spec versions offering for the project we have. I'll keep the forum posted on this. Thanks

 

You could look at HMIs from Pro-face, Advantech, or Siemens Comfort Panel series, as many of their models handle higher temps (up to 70°C) and have similar screen sizes and mounting options, which should keep migration changes minimal.
Also, check if you can get industrial-grade or high-temp versions of Weintek, it might save you from redesigning the panel cutout.
