OptiMate® OM1212
Lamp/Pushbutton Module
The OM1212 Lamp/Pushbutton Panel provides a
flexible and cost-effective alternative to expensive hard-wired
indicator lights and pushbuttons. The panel features 12 user-legendable
high intensity LED light bars and 12 user-legendable pushbuttons.
Each of the lamps can be individually controlled to be on, off,
or flash. Each of the buttons can be individually configured to
operate as either a momentary or alternate-action pushbutton.
Lamps
and buttons can be custom labeled by the user with plastic label
inserts. The inserts can be custom legended with text and/or
graphics, and slipped into a protective pocket behind the faceplate.
The
OM1212 Lamp/Pushbutton Panel is part of Optimation's OptiMate® series.
Each OptiMate® module is designed to connect to a microprocessor
or most PLC's with a single cable connection. OptiMate® modules
can be used individually, or together with any combination of other
OptiMate® modules.
When used with a microprocessor system, simple
communications over either an RS232 or RS422 communications cable
allows the microprocessor to directly control each lamp and read
the state of each button.
When used with a PLC, operation is transparent
to the user. Lamps and buttons appear in the PLC ladder logic
as coils and contacts. The OM1212 takes care of the rest.

- Attractive, eye-appealing appearance
Direct Connect to PLCs
OptiMate® modules connect and operate directly
with most major PLCs. A simple cable connection allows the PLC
to access each button directly simply by reading bits in data registers.
Everything else is totally transparent.
PLC Multi-Modules
The OptiMate® series provides the means
to construct large custom panels with standard building block modules.
OptiMate® modules can be grouped together or separated by up
to 4000 feet. Any combination of operator panels can be incorporated
into a system.
Microprocessor-Based Systems
OptiMate® modules connect to any computer
or microprocessor-based system through a serial link. Either RS232
or RS422 communications can be employed. The microprocessor controller
simply polls for module data or sends module commands to completely
control the operator panels.
Legending the Buttons
Legending the OM1212 module involves simply
sliding legend transparencies in two pockets in the module overlay.
The bezel can be removed from the front of the module as shown
on the right. Once this is done, legend transparencies can be placed
in the pockets in the overlay (behind the lexan surface layer).
A legend transparency can be created by a
number of methods. Computer graphics programs combined with overhead
transparency paper and a laser printer and/or copier produce excellent
results. Other options are listed in the OM1212 data sheet.
