Operation terminals for remote access support virtual networking computing
Two additional graphic operation terminals (GOT) have been added to Mitsubishi Electric’s GOT Simple series. The seven and 10-inch widescreen models support virtual network computing (VNC) and can be used as VNC servers enabling remote access from remote locations.
This feature will help meet customers’ needs for improved work efficiencies when performing monitoring and maintenance in factories, buildings, utilities and other automation applications.
The latest models to the GOT Simple series have a 1.5-times increase in onboard memory capacity, now 15Mbyte, making it easier to save more screen designs. An SDHC memory card allows operation logs to be recorded in chronological order to achieve enhanced traceability. This can be useful for validating operations as well as troubleshooting when identifying incorrect operation or the potential root causes of problems.
They also support outline fonts, offering clearer visibility of text on the screen by smoothing out edges of textual characters. This increased clarity can help prevent the screen being mis-read and can also aid reading at a distance.
Mitsubishi Electric has enhanced the built-in interfaces for these new models. In addition to the standard GOT Simple series interfaces of Ethernet, RS-232 and RS-422, the two additions also offer RS-485 support. This facilitates the connection of a wider variety of devices such as temperature controllers and MODBUS peripherals, making it easier for users to implement connected-digital manufacturing strategies in their operations.
