LX Touchscreens¼ VGA low cost OCS

The new OCS LX family

The latest additions to the OCS product line, the new OCS LX series offer 1/4 VGA resolution in both monochrome and STN colour versions with serial and CsCan ports.

This cost effective product line can be used with our SmartStix remote I/O offering or our RCS range giving access to our extensive modular plug-in SmartStack I/O range.

OCS (Operator Control Stations) combines a logic controller, operator interface, network and I/O in a highly integrated package, reducing installation cost, development time and hardware cost. All OCS products are programmed using Cscape programming language which combines IEC61131-3 logic programming and the graphical operator interface development system.

The operator interface used in the LX series is a ¼VGA monochrome/colour LCD display (STN) with a resistive 5.7" touchscreen. It has one dedicated and five configurable function keys, offering the advantages of both a touchscreen and a function key based display.

I/O, Communications options for any application

Choose SmartStix I/O or use an RCS116 to connect with our wide range of SmartStack I/O. Two serial ports support Modbus/RTU slave and master, ASCII Read/Write and CsCAN serial protocol giving you even more connection options.

Features and benefits
  • Single high performance processor, provides fast scan cycles. Note that scan cycle time is dependent on screen update priority which can be adjusted.
  • 320x240 ¼VGA 5.7" STN screen
  • Five configurable function keys and touchscreen capability
  • 8 shades of grey or 16 colours
  • Two serial ports plus optional CsCAN port.
