LED Matrix Display with Status and Plain Text Display

Robust SD50 multifunctional display simplifies communication of machine or process information in industrial environments

Turck is expanding its LED display portfolio with the SD50 programmable matrix LED display from its partner Banner Engineering. The display for visualizing machine, process or operator data provides information on operating states, process steps or faults in a way that is easy to read and visible from afar. Typical areas of application are order picking stations, mobile robots (AGVs), conveyor systems or machine control panels. The white 8×96 LED matrix is supplemented on each side with eight multicolor RGB LEDs that visualize easy-to-interpret status signals. The 300 × 50 mm module has an IP65 housing with an M12 plug connection.

Turck offers the SD50 in three communication variants: Discrete Control, IO-Link and Modbus RTU. It is configured with Banner Engineering's Pro-Editor software. This enables the user to set whether the SD50 functions as a text display, displays measured values or visualizes timers or counters without any programming required. These modes make it suitable for simple signal applications as well as for data-based visualizations directly from the controller. Depending on the model, the SD50 displays up to 16 static or 32 running characters.
