About ABB CP400 HMI
ABB CP400 HMI
The CP400 series offers highly efficient and effective functionality such as alarm and event management, graphics, animation, macro and Ladder Diagram functionality and recipe management. The range is available from a compact 3" monochrome version up to a large 10.4" color TFT display. RS232 & 485 Modbus are standard communications options across the whole range with Ethernet being available on most products. Other options include Ethernet plus CF Memory card slots and USB ports. Most models are available in either STN or TFT screen format.
Hot IP Swap functionality: the panel will switch transparently from one PLC to another in the event of communication loss, with the active PLC ensuring a better sustainability of your installations and offering a permanent operational system. Available on the panel Ethernet version, this function is standardized for the whole range and is easy to configure with direct IP address-changing. Users can also manually select their own communication channel directly on the display. By creating a single program that you can duplicate on several PLCs, you will save memory and development time.
