The headless CM5-RHMI eschews a conventional embedded display, providing a small interior panel-mount form factor that is advantageous for many use cases. Notable features include a low price tag, easier installation, more compact footprint, and the ability to connect with any user-supplied display, or to simply use it for remote connectivity. HDMI output allows for connection to any HDMI-compatible display, including televisions, monitors, projectors, and more, removing the display size limitations inherent in embedded touch panels, and providing the ability to easily change displays if needed. The display can be located at a distance from the HMI, keeping personnel aware of critical events whether they are in lunchrooms, boardrooms, control rooms, or anywhere else. Remote HMI access via web browser or mobile app even allows users to forgo a local display entirely if desired.
The CM5 series carries on the legacy of the time-tested, industry-approved C-more family of HMIs, and the CM5-RHMI packs powerful functionality into a headless device. Four integrated USB ports allow external HID device connections, including industrial touch screen monitors, mice, and keyboards. Two serial ports and two Ethernet ports provide multiple device connections and support for all major communication protocols. Every CM5 HMI features advanced trending, extra data storage, faster communication, and increased file type capabilities, including JPEG support, and they include powerful FREE programming software to aid in creating and validating projects quickly and effectively.
