Interview – WAGO Touch Panels
Class-leading performance and design – Product Manager André Kleine explains the advantages of WAGO's new Touch Panel 600.
An Aesthetic Design Meets High Performance
Automation and visualization tasks are becoming increasingly complex. When combined with e!COCKPIT, the new Visu Panels and Control Panels provide the perfect solution for high-quality visualization. Their screen sizes of 15.6“ (39.6 cm) and 21.5“ (54.6 cm) are significantly larger than those of the current WAGO Touch Panels 600, allowing them to display more information. The resolution is now higher with Full HD for displaying data in greater detail – thanks to the onboard visualization – without sacrificing response time.
Practical features such as an energy-saving standby function, integrated sensors for automatic brightness adjustment and an easy-to-mount design make installation and operation simple. All Visu Panels and Control Panels are equipped with the future-ready Linux® operating system and are “Docker-ready” just like the current TP 600.
Overview of Benefits:
Visu Panels and Control Panels with larger display size and higher resolution
Available: March 2020
 | High Performance Fast operating speed thanks to parallel execution of computing operations with Cortex A9 Multicore processor |  | Openness High-performance WAGO hardware combined with the future-ready Linux® operating system; for complex tasks, you can choose between programming in IEC 61131 or directly under Linux®. |
 | e!COCKPIT The e!COCKPIT Engineering Software, based on CODESYS V3, is used for visualization, programming, offline simulation, fieldbus configuration, recipe management and much more. |  | IoT Readiness Using a dedicated library, WAGO's Control Panels become IoT touch controllers that send data from the field level to the cloud. |
 | Cybersecurity The SSH and SSL/TLS encryption methods are integrated by default for establishing secure HTTPS and FTPS connections. A firewall provides additional protection against unwanted access. |  | Multi-Touch Capability Devices with capacitive touchscreens allow gesture recognition, e.g., swipe gestures for turning pages or zooming. |
 | HTML 5 Visualization The use of standardized state-of-the-art technology allows the visualization to be displayed on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. |  | Energy Efficiency An integrated proximity sensor allows the visualization to be automatically re-displayed from the energy-saving standby function with screensaver. An integrated sensor simultaneously detects ambient lighting levels for brightness control. |
 | Flexible Interface Options Different variants are available to provide the interfaces required for the specific application. |  | Non-Reflective The black front plate on the marine devices absorbs incident light and prevents reflections. |
 | Convenient Operation Sensors can automatically adjust brightness based on a room’s ambient lighting conditions. The position of the screen setting buttons on the front side allows user-friendly adjustment. |  | Maintenance-Free WAGO's Touch Panel has no fan or battery, making it completely maintenance-free. |
 | Quick Mounting WAGO's Touch Panel directly latches onto the control cabinet via mounting clips for fast and easy tool-free installation. |  | High Protection Class Thanks to custom-developed clamps, the front of the display meets lofty IP65 protection standards. This design flexibility makes the panel extremely versatile and suitable for a wide variety of applications. |
The operating and display devices in the Web Panel software configuration are provided with an optimized Web browser for accessing WAGO Controllers via standard Web protocols with integrated Web visualization for display. Depending on the type of execution, Web visualizations that are created with e!COCKPIT or CODESYS V3 and based on state-of-the-art technology like HTML5 can be displayed. Web visualizations have the advantage of being displayed not only on special Visu Panels, but also on standard commercial mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
When greater performance is required, devices are used as Visu Panels. Visu Panels are suitable for displaying a visualization generated with e!COCKPIT and obtaining the data referenced in it from any field devices via Modbus TCP, e.g., from type PFC200 Controllers. In contrast to Web Panels, the computing power required here is divided between two devices, so the computing necessary for displaying the visualization is basically performed by the Visu Panel, offloading the controller. In the process, all operating functions are evaluated within the device without a delay and can affect the visualization directly. The Visu Panel can also provide a Web visualization via the integrated Web server.
Advantages:
Operating and display devices in the Control Panel software configuration allow control and visualization to be performed simultaneously, representing a very compact form for an automation solution. Furthermore, through the use of a corresponding library, control panels become IoT controllers that send data from the field level to the cloud, where it can be aggregated and used for analysis. This creates true added value for your company – whether for increasing the efficiency of in-house production, implementing energy management in buildings or developing additional end-customer services. Existing systems also become IoT-ready, making them sustainable into the future.
