Mitsubishi Electric UK GOT1000 series HMIs now offer enhanced data logging capabilities, enabling data to be logged from remotely connected devices such as PLCs, Inverters, Servos and temperature controllers. Reducing the PLC loading in this way improves machine performance, and ensures complete traceability of production for safe and secure operation.

The HMI’s built-in RAM can store up to 2,000 data points, and logged data can be viewed either in a historical trend graph or in a historical data display list. In addition, the GOT1000 series provides options for USB ports and a CF/SD card slot, enabling data to be easy archived to, or transferred via, USB memory sticks or CF/SD cards.

MES interface

In addition to logging data, the HMI will also transmit data from connected devices to a higher level SQL database server located on a PC via the optional MES interface function. The MES interface function provides direct communication between the HMI and the SQL database, removing the need for an intermediate layer of PC hardware.

Network communication

Communications capabilities include RS232, RS422/485, USB and SD card ports as standard, with Ethernet available as an option. USB ports enable simple transfer of OS and project data, as well as allowing the connection of a keyboard and mouse.

In addition to the traditional USB port on the rear of the terminal, many GOT1000 series HMIs feature an IP67 USB port on the front face, making it simpler to transfer data to and from the terminal without having to open the panel.

The SD card slot further enhances the communications possibilities, enabling standard SD cards to be used for data logging and backup/restore functions for programs and parameters.
