Outdoor HMI design
ecomatDisplay compared with a standard panel HMI
The hardware is designed around sunlight, cold, heat, vibration, water and vehicle communication rather than a clean electrical cabinet.
02
Optical bonding + metal housing
High protection and hardened front glass suit cabins and exterior machine areas.
03
Integrated PLC functions
Current ecomatDisplay uses a high-performance processor and programmable control/application logic.
04
Touch / keys / display-only
Choose operator input style and portrait/landscape installation around the machine.
Operator interface
Typical mobile-machine applications
Use the display as the machine HMI, service interface, camera monitor, diagnostics terminal or combined HMI/controller according to the model and software architecture.
01
Machine operating screen
Display machine status, hydraulic functions, engine data, alarms and working parameters.
02
Operating-area visibility
Current family supports analogue/digital camera integration and overlay functions on suitable hardware.
03
Service & maintenance
PDF, video/audio, logs and network interfaces can support operator guidance and maintenance workflows.
Display family
Select size and operator concept first
Current ecomatDisplay family spans 4.3, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 12.3-inch formats with touch, key and display-only options depending on family/model.
| Selection variable | Current route | Engineering question |
|---|---|---|
| Display size | 4.3", 5", 7", 10", 12", 12.3" | Viewing distance, screen complexity and available panel space |
| Input method | Touch, RGB keys or display-only | Gloves, machine vibration, operator interaction |
| Mounting | Recessed or surface/RAM mount | Cabin console or exterior position |
| Orientation | Portrait / landscape by device | Machine layout and HMI design |
| Programming | CODESYS 3.5 / Qt on supported family | PLC logic, visualization and custom UI requirements |
Example model: CR1077 is a current 7-inch touch ecomatDisplay with CODESYS 3.5, embedded Linux and CAN/Ethernet/USB interfaces. Exact camera, I/O and audio capability is model-specific.
Machine communication
HMI, controller and communication node in one platform
Current ecomatDisplay families support a broad protocol set; the exact interfaces depend on the model.
CAN / CANopen / J1939Vehicle and machine-network communication.
EthernetTCP/UDP, network variables and selected higher-level protocols.
USBService, data exchange and selected peripheral functions.
CameraCurrent families support analogue and digital camera integration depending on model.
ecomatmobile system
Pair the HMI with the rest of the mobile architecture
The strongest result usually comes from designing display, controller, I/O and vehicle networking together.
