PLC Text Display 6ED1055-4MH08-0BA1 with 2 Ethernet Ports and 3 Colors

Description

Product Overview

The 6ED1055-4MH08-0BA1 PLC Text Display is engineered for modern industrial environments where clear visual communication is essential. This six‑line display presents alphanumeric information with high contrast, ensuring operators can read data at a glance even under bright ambient lighting. Two built‑in Ethernet ports provide robust network connectivity, allowing seamless integration with PLCs, SCADA systems, and other automation hardware. The device supports three selectable background colors—white, black, and gray—so you can tailor the visual appearance to match existing panel aesthetics or safety standards. All necessary installation accessories, including mounting brackets, wiring harnesses, and a quick‑start guide, are packaged together, reducing the time and effort required for deployment. The display’s compact footprint fits standard DIN rail mounts, while its rugged enclosure meets IP65 protection, guarding against dust and moisture. Designed with a focus on reliability, the unit operates continuously in harsh temperature ranges from -20 °C to +70 °C, delivering consistent performance throughout its service life.

Usage

In manufacturing plants, the PLC Text Display serves as a real‑time status indicator for production lines, alerting operators to machine states, error codes, and process parameters. It is equally valuable in water treatment facilities, where operators monitor flow rates, pressure levels, and alarm conditions directly on the panel. The dual Ethernet ports enable redundant network paths, ensuring that critical information remains available even if one connection fails. Installation accessories simplify wiring to standard 24 V DC power supplies and Ethernet switches, making the device suitable for retrofit projects as well as new builds. The three background color options allow the display to blend into safety‑colored panels—white for general use, black for high‑contrast environments, and gray for neutral settings—enhancing visual ergonomics. Its rugged design withstands vibration and shock common in automotive assembly lines, making it a reliable choice for any industry that demands continuous operation.

FAQ

What communication protocols does the display support?

The PLC Text Display communicates over standard Ethernet using TCP/IP. It is compatible with common industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP, PROFINET, and Ethernet/IP, allowing seamless integration with most PLCs and SCADA systems.

Can the background color be changed while the display is operating?

Yes, the background color can be switched on‑the‑fly via the configuration software without interrupting the displayed data. This enables dynamic visual adjustments to suit changing lighting conditions or operator preferences.

What are the power requirements for the unit?

The display operates on a 24 V DC power supply, drawing a maximum of 2 A. The supplied power adapter meets industrial safety standards, and the unit includes protection against over‑voltage and short‑circuit conditions.

Is the display suitable for outdoor installations?

While the enclosure is rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, the product is intended for indoor industrial panels. For outdoor use, additional protective housing should be employed to shield the unit from extreme weather and direct sunlight.
