Ethernet Industrial Data Terminals

Industrial data terminals

The AKET027 is a tough, compact industrial data terminal that connects to the controlling host using TCP/IP over 10 Base-T Ethernet cable infrastructure.

 

To suit the most demanding applications for accurate, fast and reliable keyboard input, the keypad uses ergonomic PC key caps and full-travel Cherry key-switch technology. Key switches have a rated life of 50 million operations and the whole device is build on a metal frame, making it rugged enough for industrial use.

 

The layout of the keypad is flexible and may be fully customised to meet exact requirements. The clear, easy-to-read display is available in high visibility Vacuum Fluorescent (luminous green characters) or standard liquid crystal with backlight. Both displays are suitable for use in a wide range of lighting conditions.

 

Two host-addressable serial ports are provided to enable the connection of data capture equipment or to enable communication with other systems. Power for connected devices is provided to the serial DB9 connectors by the internal power converter.

 

Rapid application development for Microsoft WindowsTM Developers is provided by Access ActiveX control.
