Intelligent HMI displays for Ground Support Equipment
Use on the apron under every weather conditions, at any time of the day, robust, reliable and safe – this is what the VSX displayfamilyby Sensor-Technik Wiedemann (STW) is made for.With the support of safety-oriented SIL2 applications, availability in various sizes, and a sophisticated graphical programming toolkit, the VSX display family is not just a new HMI generation. With the VSX-8, VSX-10 and VSX-12 models in 4:3 format and different versions, it also offers scalable functionality that is second to none.
Robustness and reliability is clearly the focus of display applications on the apron. The VSX displays meet this requirement through the high quality of the housings, the resistance of the electronics to electromagnetic influences, and a touch screen, which can be implemented in GFG (glass-film-glass) technology if required. The high quality and unique evaluation technology of the touch screen combines the advantages of proven resistive touch screen with the possibility of reaching an input according to SIL2. The touch screen also makes it possible to use it even with gloves or wet fingers. The MTTH (mean time to half of brightness) of the displays is 100,000 hours. For outdoor use, the light intensity of 1000 cd / m² is important, as it guarantees good readability in sunlight. In addition, the mounting options panel and RAM mount are supported for flexible installation in the cab.
All members of the VSX display family are based on the same Cortex A9 DualCore processor architecture and can be configured widely via expansion boards. All VSX displays are programmable with the same DevKit development and support tool. Together with different display sizes and operating variants, this ensures easy scalability within the family and reusability of software. 35 ready-made widgets, the majority of which includes SIL2 support, allow for implementation of applications within a very short time. DevKit is used for the graphic design as well as the implementation of communication and control tasks. In addition, the graphic design may also be seamlessly transferred to iOS or Android platforms.
