Function / Input Type
These large-digit serial data displays are designed for quick and straightforward setup, saving valuable installation time and cost. They provide precise, stable and reliable operation, with a clear, high-contrast display and adjustable brightness for comfortable viewing in all lighting conditions.
FUSION5 serial-input displays make important information clearly visible from a distance. They accept common RS232, RS422 and RS485 ASCII data signals, making them easy to connect to PLCs, computers, weighing equipment, instrumentation and industrial control systems.
Built for long-term use in demanding industrial environments, these displays make excellent commercial sense. Their simple configuration reduces installation costs, while their robust construction provides years of dependable operation.
Serial input options
- RS232
- RS422
- RS485 modbus RTU
- RS485 modbus ASCII data
- Common industrial baud rates
- Data extraction from longer or more complex strings
The display can identify and extract the required value from a complex serial data string, ensuring that only the relevant information is shown.
Values can also be rescaled into different engineering units using the user-friendly FUSION5 calibration system. For example, incoming weight data supplied in kilograms can be converted and displayed in pounds.
Models are available with four or six digits, depending on the required measurement range and resolution.
Units can be printed directly onto the display, including:
- kg
- lb
- °C
- °F
- bar
- % RH
- mmHg
- litres
- gallons
- tonnes
- Other engineering units on request
Colour-changing LEDs are also available, allowing the digit colour to change according to the displayed value or alarm condition. For example, the digits can show green during normal operation, amber when approaching a limit and red when immediate action is required.
Typical applications
- Crane load and overload displays
- Weighbridge displays
- Production-line information
- Temperature and humidity indication
- Power and energy monitoring
- Speed and RPM indication
- Tank and vessel levels
- Pressure and flow monitoring
- Remote PLC data display
- Repeater displays for weighing equipment
- Process values from computers and control systems
What character size do I need?
Measure the maximum distance from which the display must be read, then use the guide below to select the most suitable character height.
| Character height | Maximum viewing distance |
|---|---|
| 2 inch (57 mm) | 25 m (75 ft) |
| 4 inch (102 mm) | 50 m (150 ft) |
| 6 inch (150 mm) | 75 m (240 ft) |
| 8 inch (200 mm) | 100 m (330 ft) |
| 12 inch (300 mm) | 150 m (490 ft) |
| 16 inch (400 mm) | 200 m (650 ft) |
Choosing the correct character size ensures that the display remains easy to read without paying for a larger model than your application requires.
