Description

The WECON PI8043IG(W) is a 4.3-inch, 2nd-generation IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) Human Machine Interface (HMI) designed for industrial automation, remote monitoring, and high-performance, compact visualization. It features a robust Cortex-A35 processor, significant onboard memory, and extensive connectivity options including Ethernet and optional Wi-Fi/4G. Here is a detailed breakdown of the PI8043IG(W) specifications and features: 1. Display and Technical Specifications Screen Size: 4.3 inches (TFT LCD). Resolution: 480 x 272 pixels. Brightness & Backlight: 300 cd/m² with a LED backlight (50,000-hour lifetime). Touch Panel: High-precision four-wire resistive touch. Color Depth: 16,000k colors. 2. Processor, Memory, and System CPU: ARM Cortex-A35 (Quad-core). Memory (RAM): 512 MB DDR. Storage (Flash): 4 GB. Operating System: Linux 4.4.0 QT based. Real-time Clock (RTC): Built-in. 3. Communication Interfaces The device is designed for seamless integration into industrial networks: Ethernet: 1 x RJ45 port (10/100 Mbps). Serial Ports: COM1 supports RS232, RS422, and RS485 (via CN1: RS422/RS485, CN2: RS232, CN3: RS485). USB Ports: USB 2.0 Host (for flash drives) and USB 2.0 Type-C (for programming/downloading). Optional: 4G/WiFi modules are supported in the (W) variant. 4. IIoT and Remote Features The PI8043IG(W) is part of the IIoT-enabled Ig series, supporting advanced, secure remote capabilities: WVPN (Wecon VPN): Pass-through download and remote management. V-NET Cloud: Supports cloud data synchronization and remote monitoring. Remote Access: Supports VNC, App/web-based monitoring. Alarm Notification: Supports Email Alarms. Data Handling: Supports MQTT protocol for IoT communication. 5. Physical and Environmental Structure: Plastic+ABS (Polycarbonate) gray casing. Protection Rating: IP65 (front panel), IP20 (back). Mounting: Panel Mount (Cutout size: 131.0mm x 78.0H). Power Supply: DC 24V (Input range 12V ~ 28V DC). Power Consumption: < 8W. Operating Temperature: -10°C to 55°C. 6. Software Programming Software: PIStudio (supports scripting and simulation). Key Advantages Fast Operation: Compared to older PI8000 series models, the IG series offers up to three times faster data response speeds for remote operations. Compact & Powerful: High-performance Quad-core CPU in a small 4.3" form factor. High Storage: 4GB flash allows for large data storage and logging. This HMI is ideal for applications where compact space is required, such as small machinery, IoT gateways, and remote, distributed control systems.
