PLC with built-in HMI operator panel
The Vision1040 from Unitronics is a PLC with a built-in HMI Operator Panel with nine programmable function keys.
The Vision1040 is a PLC with a built-in HMI Operator Panel comprising a 10.4-in color touch-screen and nine programmable function keys. On-board I/Os can be added by snapping a module onto the back of the PLC; Snap-in I/O Modules come in several configurations. I/O Expansion modules enable integrating up to 1024 I/Os per Vision PLC.
The Vision1040 offers a rich range of embedded features such as multiple auto-tuned PID loops, and internal 120K database for datalogging and recipe programming. Communication options include TCP/IP Ethernet, GSM/SMS, MODBUS and CANopen networking plus remote access for data acquisition and program download. In addition this is reportedly the first Vision controller to comprise a USB programming port.
2MB Ladder code application memory (plus 80MB for images and 1MB for fonts) enable the Vision1040 to run complex control and automation tasks. The 16-bit 65,000-color touch-screen HMI enables the display of color-coded operator instructions and red, attention-grabbing alarm screens. It can also display graphs according to historical values—to reflect trends of recorded data. Display options are almost endless with more than 1000 user-designed screens, and up to 500 images per application.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
