Flexibility to transform a standard unit with re-legendable keys, reconfigurable layouts, and various choices of illumination can be simply performed.

Completely custom units can be defined to meet the needs of a specific requirement in order to produce a hassle-free, efficient solution.

Fully customized solutions involve;

� Layout definition

� Mold development

� PCB assembly

� Metal stamping

� Vacuum potting

� Electronic calibration

� Complete panel integration

Smart

EAO network capable devices can easily facilitate communication between the end user HMI and many other types of monitoring and control devices. To accomplish this, users are not limited to a single addressable protocol.

Omni-BUSTM communication technology addresses common industry device protocols such as:

� CANopen

� J1939/J1939-11

� RS485

Often found within market segment applications including:

� Transportation

� Heavy-duty and specialty vehicles

� Lifting and moving equipment

� Machinery.

Rugged

Designed to withstand the harshest conditions, these sealed units can withstand the cleaning force of pressure washers and hold an IP67/NEMA6 rating. This ability makes these keypads virtually immune to water, mud, salt, sand, oil, chemicals, or anything else they are exposed to.

Often, improper selection of HMI controls can result in costly machine failure, equipment downtime, or unsafe and poor system performance. As a direct link to the user, HMIs directly represent the core system’s quality and value. These application types require tough, reliable, rugged, and dependable HMIs.

Meeting the demands of industry with our unique Mixed Technology HMITM approach

EAO – Your Expert Partner forHuman Machine Interfaces

The HMI Systems supplied by EAO are designed and custom built for individual applications by a team of in-house experts. A typical HMI System utilizes a “Mixed Technologies” approach that might include a functional combination of several interfaces such as a touchscreen or display, industrial PC, membrane keypad, discrete pushbuttons and emergency stop functions all while possibly having to be connected through an appropriate serial bus.

Each System is defined and designed in close collaboration with the customer to ensure complete satisfaction at every step. In order to provide an effective solution, the EAO team will work to:

� Define the customer requirements

� Understand the operator

� Select the proper control technology(ies)

The outcome of this extensive process results in intuitive user controls that meet required industry safety, regulatory, and ergonomic standards. Combining these factors produce effective and efficient end-user operation.

EAO’s global footprint allows for a broad understanding of international market demands, rapid response time, and optimizes the ability to provide a functionally intuitive HMI System for use in the following market segments:
