INNOVATIVE HMI

Within a system, the display provides the primary Human Machine Interface (HMI). Innovative HMI solutions open
up new possibilities for the system integrator. Our products can be supplied with touch screens as an option. There
are many touch screen technologies available, and we have implemented several of them in our solutions.

Main usability, performance and integration characteristics are:
Technology Optical Performance Stable Calibration Gloves Water Durability Price Multitouch
Analog Resisitive -- + ++ ++ - ++ -
Surface Capacitive ++ - -- - + - -
Projected Capacitive ++ ++ + + ++ + ++

Series 1 can be offered with either resistive or surface capacitive touch screen in most cases, Series X is designed
with projected capacitive providing multitouch support.

MULTITOUCH
Multitouch is defined as the ability to recognize two or more simultaneous touch points. Using projected capacitive
technology lets us create a more intuitive form of human-device interaction. Touch-interface gestures, supported
by projected capacitive sensors, can simplify the interface and provide an intuitive user experience that goes
beyond the typical “button replacement” found in most simple touch interfaces.

Moving the active sensor area on the backside of the protection glass makes the system very durable and not
sensitive to surface damages like dirt, scratches etc.

Glass Display Control™ (GDC):
A well implemented touch interface can be much simpler to use than
a conventional mechanical button-based interface because it can show
the user only those controls that are relevant to a particular operation,
while all the controls in a conventional interface are always present.
Our new display control solution, which we refer to as Glass Display
Control™, or GDC, is based on projected switches, and have these
benefits, and more;

• Solid state - reliable.
• Behind the glass sensors - don’t wear out.
• No moving parts - nothing to break, everlasting.
