OptiMate® OM406
Module with Dark Gray Enclosure
The OM406 Indicator/Pushbutton Panel provides
a flexible and cost-effective alternative to expensive hard-wired
indicator lights and pushbuttons. The panel features 6 LED indicator
lamps and 4 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 protective
pockets behind the faceplate.
The OM406 Indicator/Pushbutton Panel
is part of Optimation's OptiMate® series.
Each OptiMate® module is designed to connect to a microprocessor
or to most PLC's with a single cable connection. Each 400 series
OptiMate® module can be used individually, or together with
any combination of other OptiMate® modules, but requires a
separate communications port on the host.
When used with a microprocessor
system, simple communications over an RS232 communications cable
allows the microprocessor to directly control each lamp and to
read the state of each button.

- Rapid future expansion
- Reduced maintenance costs
- 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.
Microprocessor-Based Systems
OptiMate® modules connect to any computer or microprocessor-based
system through a serial link. RS232 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 OM406 module involves simply
sliding legend transparencies in two pockets in the module overlay.
The bezel can be removed from the front of the module. 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 OM406 data sheet.
Configuration
Configuring the OM406 requires the OM-WIN EDIT Configuration
Editor, a cable connecting your P.C. to the module, and a 5VDC
power supply with a center negative plug: all sold by Optimation.
