HE693THM449 GE FANUK

A GE Fanuc Operator Unit, often referred to as an HMI (Human Machine Interface), is a specialized device designed to provide a user-friendly interface for interacting with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other automation equipment. It serves as a bridge between human operators and the underlying control system, allowing for monitoring, control, and programming of industrial processes.  

Key Functions

• Human-Machine Interaction: Provides a visual interface for operators to monitor process variables, control equipment, and configure the system.  
   
• Data Display: Displays real-time process data, alarms, and system status.
• Data Entry: Allows operators to input data, such as setpoints, parameters, and recipes.
• Alarming: Provides visual and audible alarms to alert operators of abnormal conditions.
• Control: Enables operators to control equipment and processes.
• Programming: Facilitates programming and configuration of the underlying PLC.

Product Parameters (Typical)

• Display Size: Measured in inches, ranging from small to large displays to accommodate different applications.  
   
• Resolution: The number of pixels on the display, determining image clarity.
