Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | N/A (typically atmospheric within control cabinet) |
| other spec: | IP65/IP67 ingress protection, 24VDC power supply, 10-90% non-condensing humidity |
| temperature: | -20°C to +60°C (operating), -40°C to +70°C (storage) |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.

Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
HMIs typically support protocols such as Ethernet/IP, Profinet, and Modbus. The exact protocols depend on the model and must be verified with the manufacturer.
The typical operating temperature range is -20 to 60 °C, but this can vary by model. Always check the datasheet for the specific HMI.
Some HMIs have higher backlight brightness (up to 1000 cd/m²) and higher protection classes (up to IP65) suitable for outdoor or harsh environments. Verify the specific model's ratings.
Screen size depends on the complexity of the process visualization. Larger screens (up to 15 inches) are suitable for complex processes, while smaller ones (4.3 inches) may suffice for simple applications. Consider the viewing distance and available panel space.
