HG1X: Text Message Display

There are two models available, the HG1X-252 with a 16-character, 2-line backlit LCD and six function keys, and the HG1X-452 with a 20-character, 4-line backlit LCD with eight function keys and a numeric keypad. These interfaces are compatible with all IDEC PLCs (as well as several other PLCs from other manufacturers), including the new MicroSmart series. They draw power from the PLC communications port so no external power supply is necessary, and have a serial port for printing screens and alarms.

Also available is WindMSG, Idec's Windows® based programming tool designed to program the HG1X Series of Operator Interfaces.
