The Pro-face 12.1-inch touchscreen (PNP model) AST3501-C1-AF is a high-performance industrial human-machine interface (HMI) designed for efficient machine control and monitoring. It is equipped with a controller DIO (PNP type) featuring 6 NPN-type inputs and 2 NPN-type outputs, with a 12-pin connector for easy integration. The unit operates on DC24V and is classified as a control (C) grade model, ensuring reliable performance in industrial environments.
The display is a TFT true-color LCD with high brightness, measuring 12.1 inches diagonally. It supports a resolution of 800 × 600 pixels (SVGA) and can display up to 65,536 colors without flicker, or 16,384 colors with triple-speed flicker. Brightness can be adjusted in eight levels directly through the touch panel, allowing for optimal visibility in varying lighting conditions.
The system includes a variable area of 64KB SRAM (backed by a lithium battery) and a program area of 132KB FLASH EPROM, supporting up to 15,000 programming steps. The touch panel is resistive (analog), providing reliable and accurate touch response.
Five key features enhance operational efficiency. First, the GP-Pro EX software enables the creation of clear, professional screens with reduced development time. Its user-friendly interface supports drag-and-drop and point-and-click operations, making it accessible even for beginners. Advanced tools such as 3D components, image fonts, and other features allow users to quickly build intuitive displays.
Second, the software includes a PC simulation function that allows users to test screen operations, D scripts, and logic scripts on a personal computer without transferring data to the GP unit. This accelerates development and debugging.
Third, Pro-face provides a rich library of sample screens and 3D components, which can be easily customized to create visually appealing and functional interfaces, significantly cutting down on programming time.
Overall, the AST3501-C1-AF combines robust hardware with powerful software tools to deliver a reliable, flexible, and time-saving solution for industrial automation and control applications.
