Titan Industrial Networked Moving Message Displays - UK Made

Engineered for reliability, clear visibility and ease of use - Titan message displays are the sensible choice when quality matters. Quality is not cheap, but it is an excellent, logical investment, giving peace of mind and low cost of ownership over time.

Titan moving message displays built into a site accident display for a Siemens wind-turbine blade manufacturing facility. The display is controlled by a PC application which we designed for Siemens, which automatically updates the display and allow managers to edit the staff-messaging section.



Titan moving message displays are in use at Tilbury Docks, near London.



They are controlled by the Dock Authority, by the Police and by the Traffic Department, using a shared web-based scheduling tool, with priority rules.

The displays accept data over the GSM phone network and over the internet.




Model shown above is the Titan-128-16-DLV version, with ultra-bright daylight viewing LEDs for outdoor mounting. Designed and built by us in the UK with 5 year warranty.

"Hi Bob,

Here are some photos of the Displays and a short video in action.

Thanks for some good work by LEL, they are just what we wanted."

With these rugged yet attractive industrial message displays, you can share important production and plant information with all your team. Information which is up to date and easy to see is vital for efficient teamwork.



They are easy to integrate into a wide range of industrial fieldbus networks and we can provide pre-configured gsd files for most formats.

• Standard Inputs = RS232, RS485, Binary contact closure
• Optional network inputs = TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Profibus, ControlNet, GSM, Profibus etc.
• Character heights = 50mm, 120mm, 200mm, 400mm
• Sealed for washdown
• Up to 20 lines
• Indoor and Outdoor versions
• AC and DC power versions
• RoHS compliant

This family of industrial message displays is modular, so modules can be combined to give the ideal character height, number of characters per line and number of lines per system to suit your application.

Tell us what you need and we'll send you a message display specification to do the job perfectly.

Titan 192x16 pixels = 32 char.s, 2 line / 24 char.s, 1 line
Titan 224x16 pixels = 37 char.s, 2 line / 28 char.s, 1 line
Titan 256x16 pixels = 42 char.s, 2 line / 32 char.s, 1 line


24 pixel high
(1 line 150mm high)

Titan 32x24 pixels = 2 char.s, 1 line
Titan 64x24 pixels = 4 char.s, 1 line

Titan 256x24 pixels = 19 char.s, 1 line


32 pixel high
(1 line 200mm high)

Titan 32x32 pixels = 4 char.s, 2 line/1 char, 1 line
Titan 64x32 pixels = 8 char.s, 2 line/3 char.s, 1 line
Titan 96x32 pixels = 12 char.s, 2 line/5 char.s, 1 line

Modularity for Flexibility
Titan message displays are designed and built in England, using a modular system. This allows us to create a unique message display to suit your requirements exactly.

The number of lines of text, text character height, data communication method, power supply, sealing, brightness, mounting method - all are selectable in different combinations.

This allows us to create exactly the right format message display for your application.

Message displays for popular fieldbus networks such as Profibus, Ethernet I/P, CanOpen, DeviceNet, TCP/IP, RS232, RS485
	We partner with HMS from Sweden in providing industrial network gateway devices and pre-configured gsd files for most of our display types. This allows you to easily connect your message display to a Profibus, ProfiNet, Ethernet I/P, TCP/IP, CanOpen or similar fieldbus network.

"We had a specific requirement for our station timers and London Electronics were not fazed by this at all.

James visited our site with demo models and explained very clearly what he needed from us in order to get the best product.

We had changing circumstances in our project and LE responded quickly to all. When faced with meeting a much earlier deadline than expected they really pushed on so we could get all the timers we needed.

Overall they are a very professional company, the products they have supplied are top quality and I will be using them in any further projects."

Distribution Bay message displays

We produce message display systems for use in distribution warehouses. These are often installed at the lorry bays to indicate such information as next destination, trailer number, ETA and so on.




We also make message displays for demurrage / vehicle delay calculation and display, with statistical analysis according to each site's particular requirements.

Custom message display software

In addition to the wide range of physical possibilities with Titan message displays, you can also tell us exactly what sort of interface you need and we will gladly design a format to suit you precisely.

Our philosophy is one of providing exactly the message display format YOU want

A typical custom-built message display we have just delivered. The coloured rectangles on the right are full colour LED andons which can be illuminated to indicate different conditions on the line.



The message displays are driven from a PLC and can store preset messages, or can act as slaves directly from an RS485 or EtherNet data stream.

The building blocks of a Titan message display...
These are the main parts of our message displays. The top 2 modules are display boards which can be assembled together like non-ovelapping bricks to create a message display panel as large as you need.

Each section is controlled by the message controller module at the bottom.

This can store up to 255 messages, which can be triggered by a binary logic input, or it will accept RS232 or RS485 serial data input, TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Profibus, Profinet etc.
