VisuNet GXP

With the VisuNet GXP series of industrial monitors, you get a modular HMI system in a compact design. At only 23 kg, the VisuNet GXP is the lightest monitor for life science applications in Zone 1/21 and Div. 2. Due to the robust stainless steel housing, the VisuNet GXP monitors are particularly easy to clean and resistant to chemicals.

VisuNet FLX

The VisuNet FLX series offers users maximum flexibility: The fully modular "One Fits All" design enables precise configuration of HMI solutions for applications in the (petro) chemical and pharmaceutical industries as well as outdoor use with various shunshield applications. The VisuNet FLX series includes HMI systems, panel and box PCs. The modularity allows thin client and display units or power supplies to be easily replaced directly in the field.

VisuNet FLX Edge

The VisuNet FLX Edge series provides users with an all-weather operator station for indoor and outdoor use. Due to the water-repellent housing and the antimicrobial and chemical-resistant keypad, the VisuNet FLX Edge is extremely robust and ideal for use in cleaning plants, for example. VisuNet FLX Edge industrial monitors are available for non-hazardous areas as well as for Zone 2, Div. 2 and Zone 1, Div. 1 (with integrated pressurization/purging system).

Industrial Monitors

Whether modular design, compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines or suitable for outdoor use: The portfolio of VisuNet industrial monitors includes various series with different communication technologies for a wide range of applications in the process industry. The industrial monitors from Pepperl+Fuchs are all extremely robust and easy to clean. The VisuNet GXP and VisuNet FLX series also impress with their modular design that allows easy replacement of components. In this way, the monitor solutions from Pepperl+Fuchs offer you maximum flexibility for your tasks.

Overview

BTC22

The BTC22 comes in a rugged aluminum housing and is therefore characterized by a high degree of installation flexibility. With two DisplayPort interfaces, it supports connection to two Ultra HD monitors (4K) at 60 Hz. It also has a USB type C 3.2 Gen. 1 interface and two USB type A 2.0 interfaces.

BTC 14

With its closed IP4x housing, the BTC14 industrial Box Thin Client is extremely robust and stands for maximum flexibility during installation. With four DisplayPort interfaces, it supports up to four Ultra HD monitors with 4K resolution at 60 Hz.

BPC3200

The Box PC Series 3200 offers users great flexibility. The industrial Box PCs are based on the Intel® Celeron and i5 embedded processor (Kaby Lake) of the seventh generation. They also support the latest high-speed storage technology (M.2 NVMe 1.3) and extended RAM configurations with up to 16 GB DDR4.

Industrial Box Thin Clients and Box PCs

Unlike conventional thin clients used in office environments, Pepperl+Fuchs' industrial Box Thin Clients (BTC) are suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. Due to their robust aluminum housing, they can withstand demanding environmental conditions and are suitable for 24/7 operation. Therefore, the BTCs always reliably enable access to virtualized applications and information from central servers.

For tasks that require more computing power, Pepperl+Fuchs' industrial box PCs are the right solution. They can be used both as stand-alone devices and as panel PCs or HMI systems.

Simplify Your IT

With Industrial Human Machine Interfaces

Learn how to simplify the process with our thin client-based remote monitors and box thin clients for operation in hazardous areas and the control room. And with Pepperl+Fuchs’ VisuNet RM Shell firmware, you get an optimized user interface that simplifies the setup for thin client devices.

Industrial Tablet Thin Client

Industrial Tablet Thin Client

The industrial tablet thin client is based on the robust Pad-Ex® tablet from the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ecom and adds a mobile thin client device to the portfolio. The VisuNet RM Shell firmware is preinstalled on the mobile device so that the tablet can be quickly integrated into existing networks. This allows you to flexibly monitor your processes from any location. With the industrial tablet thin client, users not only benefit from all the advantages of the thin client software from Pepperl+Fuchs, but also from the features of the robust Pad-Ex tablet, such as global certification for use in hazardous areas.

VisuNet RM Shell 6

VisuNet RM Shell 6 is the latest generation firmware for VisuNet Remote Monitors and Box Thin Clients from Pepperl+Fuchs. Using standard Ethernet technology, the software communicates with the process control system or MES and enables users to conveniently control and monitor their processes and plants. VisuNet RM Shell 6 is based on Microsoft® Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC and supports all common protocols.

VisuNet Control Center

VisuNet Control Center is an add-on software for users of VisuNet RM Shell. In combination with the RM Shell firmware, the innovative software tool enables centralized management of VisuNet HMI systems from a central location. Users no longer need to enter hazardous areas or clean rooms to configure or maintain remote monitors or box thin clients.

Thin Client Software

The innovative VisuNet RM Shell thin client firmware is preinstalled on every VisuNet Remote Monitor and Box Thin Client from Pepperl+Fuchs. It simplifies the setup of thin clients as well as the operation of virtualized and conventional PC-based process control systems. The VisuNet Control Center add-on software also facilitates thin client management by enabling efficient, centralized configuration and maintenance of multiple remote monitors.
