Panelmate Operator Panels

From the original IDT operator interface systems introduced back in the 1970's to the very popular PanelMate Power Pro and ePro PS series of products today, Cutler-Hammer Operator Interface products provide the best value on the market.

 More about Panelmates

PanelMate was introduced in 1986. Meeting their evolving client needs and providing continuous improvements has resulted in six different generations of hardware/software over the 21 years since introduction of the first PanelMate systems.  The original PanelMate systems were all CRT based and used built-in configuration software and only required connecting an IBM compatible keyboard and turning a key switch to do development. The second generation was configured off-line in DOS based configuration software. Next came Windows configuration software. Then better graphics were added, flat panel LCD displays replaced many of the CRT models and applications to provide advanced trending, recipes, and other sophisticated capabilities.  Easymatics can take applications from the original generation PanelMates and every other version and convert the applications to run in the latest generation PanelMate Power Pro or ePro PS systems. PanelMate is the only operator interface system that allows this preservation of our clients investments for over 20 years.

 Software

Two software platforms are available for configuring PanelMate products. The PanelMate Power Pro software is used for configuring the PanelMate Power Pro series of products including the Pro LT 1100, 1700, 3000, 5000 products in addition to the PanelMate PC Pro and PanelMate ePro. The ePro Canvas software is used for configuring the PanelMate ePro ES and PS family of products.

PanelMate Power Pro Software

The software includes configuration tools, Runtime software and numerous interfaces for communicating with all major PLCs via serial or proprietary connections. All software is easy to use with intuitive fill-in-the blanks user interfaces. The software includes the basics for including templates (fixed size and variable size) for indicators, readouts, messages, bars graphics and line trends. Alarming, security, symbol editor and font editor are all included with the software.

The software also includes Advanced Tag and Expression Management tools. These tools greatly simplify configuring and changing OI applications and allow for easy information sharing across applications. Use the tag name databases created by your PLC or PC programming software and simply "click" on the tag name during development to save time, eliminate errors and reduce debugging costs. Use of advanced expression editing takes full advantage of the PanelMate math and logic capabilities while continuously checking expression syntax. Both development and debug time are saved while reducing PLC programming complexity. In addition, a library of over 3000 object-based industry-specific symbols is included with the software allowing users to easily create a graphic representation of a machine or process on a PanelMate screen.

ePro Canvas Software

This powerful editing environment delivers state-of-the-art features previously available only on more expensive, high-end SCADA packages. It offers these capabilities in an intuitive, and easily scalable editing interface that allows the developer to keep it simple for simple requirements, yet easily scale up in capability to meet more demanding end-user requirements.

The ePro Canvas editor comes in two versions, ePro Canvas and ePro Canvas Professional. The low cost ePro Canvas is ideal for users who plan on creating basic applications. The ePro Canvas Professional provides advanced features such as a Master Page, simulation tools, and vision system support with the major feature being the ability to easily convert configurations created using the PanelMate Power Pro software for use on the PanelMate ePro ES and PS products. This important features makes migration from earlier versions of PanelMate to the most current hardware platforms a simple process, saving time and money.

The editor fully supports tag based editing and importing of tags from virtually all PLC program tag files. Complete integration of OPC client connectivity and OPC tags makes it easy to configure data items and connect to industrial data sources such as PLCs, drives, sensors, motion controllers and databases.
