The ability to output video to large screens makes this Headless HMI a great choice for Andon Message Boards and onsite display of Key Performance Indicators.
The cMT-FHDX can be used as an Andon or Annunciator system, creating a Status Display Station. It can collect equipment and quality management data from the production line, process the data, and then send visualization and sound to a large screen monitor via HDMI, allowing real-time monitoring and control for onsite operators.
Andon systems are widely used in manufacturing plants for instant visual management. Alarm messages and key productivity indicators from production line can be collected, displayed and monitored in real-time. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) information can be displayed, and identifies the percentage of planned production time that is truly productive.
Because the display is user selectable, you can choose the features you need in your display independent of the features you need in your HMI.
A headless HMI is an HMI without a built-in touchscreen. Our Headless HMIs are controlled over the network and have a graphical interface that can be accessed from any PC or smartphone, or through a separate touch display or touch monitor.
The cMT-FHDX data processing unit is a fully functional Smart HMI and can be thought of as the "brain" data processing center which allows you to monitor and control your automation process.
By dividing the traditional all-in-one HMI into two parts: a data processing unit and a separate visual display. No longer is your screen size limited to the available HMIs on the market – you can now display your real-time production data on a large wall-mounted status display station, easily visible from any plant floor location.

This HDMI®-enabled unit works with screens of any size, making screen size no longer a limitation in your application. As part of the Smart Series, the cMT-FHDX has all the rich HMI functionality found in the Smart series without a the touchscreen display. Monitor PLC operations, gather data, and remotely access your control system via the cMT Viewer App on your Apple/Android smart phone, one of our smart displays, or your own tablet/laptop/PC.
Industrial touch screen monitors are designed and tested for harsher environments making them much more rugged, compared to typical "office" monitors. They are designed to withstand prolonged shock & vibration, a wide temperature range, and protection from water and dust. All of our monitors can be panel mount, or VESA mounted, depending on your application.
Our high brightness/sunlight readable monitors are ideal for applications in Industrial Automation, Healthcare, Finance/Banking, Education, Gaming/Entertainment, Home Automation, Retail, and Transportation, and pair easily with our Box PCs and Headless HMIs. All our monitors allow you to use gloves and act as touchscreens, reducing the need for a keyboard and mouse allowing for maximum freedom when designing a system.
