MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC AUTOMATION INTRODUCES Next generation OF Graphic Operation Terminals

GOT1000 line of Human Machine Interfaces features high speed RISC processor

 VERNON HILLS, Ill. – Nov. 8, 2004 – Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. introduced its next generation of graphic operation terminals, the GOT1000 Series, today at Pack Expo 2004 in Chicago.  The new line of human machine interfaces, which can fit nearly any packaging, manufacturing or assembly application, integrates a Mitsubishi Graphics Accelerator and an ultra high speed RISC (reduced instruction set computer) processor to offer one of the most advanced touch-screen display platforms available.

Unmatched in clarity and display refresh speed, the GOT 1000 terminals provide an extensive range of capabilities, including advance alarm management, flexible recipe management, data logging, multi-language support (Unicode 2.0), Windows™ fonts, and a wide range of drivers support connection to most standard automation vendors. Quality graphical objects and bitmaps can be combined with existing libraries to offer a wide variety of devices, images and animation effects.

“The new GOT1000 terminals bring a clarity and ease-of-use that we feel are unrivaled in the industry,” said Timothy Lomax, senior product marketing engineer at Mitsubishi Electric Automation. “In addition to higher speed and performance, the GOT1000 offers several features that will reduce maintenance costs and ensure smooth performance under almost any conditions.”

The GOT1000 series includes six new touch-screen models in 5.7”, 8.4”, 10.4” and 12.1” sizes at QVGA, VGA and SVGA resolutions for improved information display. Models include monochrome and high resolution color TFT displays, 65k color support, ultra-thin design, rugged construction and a long list of environmental certifications including UL, cUL and CE.

Hardware highlights include an industry-first, front panel mounted USB port; compact flash slots; communication option slots; a high speed RS232 serial port; and 100/240VAC or 24VDC power connections. All GOT1000 terminals use Mitsubishi Electric’s GT-Works2, a single software environment that configures, documents and develops projects for these display screens.
