Matrix12

Matrix12 is a push button panel with 12 programmable electromechanical buttons, with CAN interface, to be installed on a panel. Via a 7″ LCD it is possible to view, in addition to the status and meaning of the 12 buttons on the current page, also the status of the system. The CAN protocol used complies with the DS301 standard.

Matrix 12 is also available on request in the EtherCAT version and/or with a 10″ LCD display.

On the LCD display, which acts as a legend for the electromechanical buttons present, it is possible to implement up to four pages, thus managing 36 different buttons.

Through a simple USB connection it is possible to download the image that identifies its function for each button.

Matrix 12, in addition to standardizing the button panels on the machine, is extremely versatile in carrying out any “last minute” customizations, such as the addition of new electromechanical buttons to implement new functions.

• Advantages

  The main advantages compared to a traditional pushbutton panel are:

  • Compactness
  • Elimination of buttons, wiring and I/O modules with consequent space saving inside the cabinet
  • Elimination of the electrical diagram
  • Extreme versatility to add buttons and functions, entirely programmable by PLC, eliminating subsequent wiring interventions
  • Display of the machine status with any warning and error messages
  • Remote programming
  • Internationalization of texts and messages
  • Maximum compatibility with current PLCs (CAN DS301 standard)

  There are also 4 digital inputs at 24Vdc available, which can be connected to buttons, limit switches, proximity switches, photocells, etc.
