Titan Industrial Networked Message Displays - UK Made

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.

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.

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.

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.







Production line status display


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.

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.
