Applications
A large backlit liquid crystal display with graphic mode support and a 44-key full alphanumeric keypad are key features to write user-friendly programs.
The superior performance and the ability to connect to a wide range of devices make the MR380 the perfect match for shop floor control, advanced work in process, time and attendance, and access control.
In all, the system's flexibility and rugged design adapt as efficient solutions in environments from hospitality to factory automation.
Extensive I/O options
With a wide range of I/O interfaces to support different external devices, it is suitable for most data collection needs, regardless of the input device required. Two scanner ports support high-speed fixed position scanners, as well as hand-held scanners, magnetic stripe readers and proximity readers. Furthermore, its built-in photo coupler inputs and digital I/Os enable easy
integration with PLCs, conveyor belts, scales and alarm systems. The MR380 can trigger external devices with two 227V AC relays. Real-time applications benefit from its fast response to different external devices.
The terminal offers a selection between point to point RS232 and multi-point RS485 connections to communicate with the host computer. An external Ethernet adapter supplies access from any point in a network. It incorporates an auxiliary RS232 port that can be used to attach an external printer.
Exceptional convenience
Configurations with 256 and 512 KB in RAM provide plenty of storage for programs and data files, thus allowing the unit to operate online or in batch mode.
Display modes available include 8 by 40, 4 by 30 and 2 by 15 columns, as well as a 240 by 64 pixels graphic mode. Moreover, all keys are remappable and large enough so they are always easy to reach, even with gloves.
Simple application development
The MR380 is DOS-compatible, so developers can use industry standrd C language compilers to generate programs that run on the terminal. Free libraries, communication and configuration utilities can be obtained from Unitech. A program generator is also available to guide the novice through step by step programming.
