This company expanded its portfolio of VisuNet FLX series operator and monitoring workstations (photo) with a version for outdoor use and use in an extended temperature range from –20 to 50°C. The new aluminum housing not only ensures an optimal heat sink, but also offers exceptional resistance to more demanding outdoor conditions. The low weight ensures easy installation via a wide range of mounting options. The VisuNet FLX series has an optically bonded display to ensure perfect readability in direct sunlight. In addition, various shading elements can be selected as required. The integration of an optional RFID reader simplifies user authentication and contributes to security in industrial environments. The series is available as a complete human-machine interface (HMI) system with aluminum or stainless-steel housing, as a panel mounting or as a box PC, each with display sizes of 15.6, 19 or 21.5 in. — Pepperl+Fuchs SE, Mannheim, Germany
