Perfect Match.
The one-in-a-million HMI system that perfectly fits your application.
As its name says, the modular VisuNet FLX HMI platform from Pepperl+Fuchs stands for maximum flexibility. Whether remote or direct monitor, industrial or box PC: The series offers various HMI systems and solutions for a wide range of applications and installation requirements in ATEX/IECEx Zone 2/22 and non-Ex areas. The modular "one-fits-all" design allows for the precise configuration of your HMI solution and enables easy and quick adaptation in the field.
Depending on your industry and application, you can choose between stainless-steel and aluminum housings and add a range of optional peripherals and accessories. Different display sizes also allow a high degree of flexibility for panel mounting. If our preconfigured FLX HMIs that are quickly available do not fit your needs, let our global Solution Engineering Centers (SEC) design a fully customized solution based on FLX for you.
The VisuNet FLX series was specially developed for applications in the (petro-) chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The operator stations support employees in the manual steps of such processes. Thanks to the certification for zone 2/22, the platform offers a solution for areas where potentially explosive substances are transferred and filled. The housings made of stainless-steel with special surfaces easily meet GMP regulations. They are particularly easy to clean and resistant to aggressive and corrosive substances. An optional RFID reader can be integrated directly into the housing.
For indoor and outdoor applications that require extended temperature ranges of -20 … +50 °C, the marine-grade aluminum enclosure of the VisuNet FLX series is ideal. The robust housing not only stands for optimal heat dissipation, but also for high resistance. Additional sun shields can be attached to the sides, top edge and rear as required. They also serve as protection against rain and other environmental conditions. With these enhancements, the VisuNet FLX series defies harsh environmental conditions and can also be used outdoors.
This animation provides you with a condensed overview of the platform and shows how it is used in the field.
At market launch, we already have a wide range of preconfigured VisuNet FLX solutions available for you as "Preferred Products", covering a large part of common industrial applications. However, if you have any further individual customization requirements, you can rely entirely on our Solution Engineering Centers (SEC). Here we create and manufacture HMI solutions all over the world.
For example, a large selection of already qualified pushbuttons is available for individual solution design. Solutions for dual monitor or mobile applications are also already included in the design of the VisuNet FLX series and can be manufactured individually if required.
Use our product configurator to quickly find the VisuNet FLX HMI system that is ideally suited to your application. With just a few clicks, you can choose between the three basic configurations (HMI system, panel PC, box PC) and the associated product attributes such as CPU type, RAM or operating system.
When you have completed your configuration, you will receive a type code and can request a non-binding quote from us directly. If you need support, have requirements not included in the configurator attributes, or even require a completely customized HMI solution, please use the contact form in the configurator and specify your request in more detail. Our experts look forward to hearing from you!
