The 1785K-PMPS-1700 terminal is an industrial terminal. It is part of the Eaton Corporation’s PanelMate Power Pro Series which is an advanced electronic alternative to traditional operator terminals which use I/O points that are hard-wired to devices such as pushbuttons. The 1785K-PMPS-1700 terminal has a TFT color display with 8.4-inch display size. The display has 256-color palette with VGA resolution. PanelMate terminals come with either a touchscreen or a touchpanel for operator input. The 1785K-PMPS-1700 terminal includes a touchpanel with an off-screen cancel button, a numeric keypad for entry, membrane control buttons, and 3 x 5 cell control selection. The 1785K-PMPS-1700 terminal supports the Microsoft Windows-based configuration environment with alarm reporting/acknowledgement. The system graphics package supports object-oriented graphics and the ability to import 3rd-party graphics.

Serial interfaces on the 1785K-PMPS-1700 terminal enable PLC communication. In addition to performing all the control and monitoring functions as legacy hard-wired terminals, the 1785K-PMPS-1700 terminal occupies less space, eliminates most of the PLC and controller ladder logic that is needed for operator interface support, eliminates the need for PLC I/O modules to support the operator interface, and it provides greater flexibility in order to customize the content and appearance of displays and to allow the users to make changes at a later date. The 1785K-PMPS-1700 terminal requires 24 Volts DC input power and it consumes 1.1 Amps of current. The power consumption of the terminal is 23 Watts. The peak ambient operating temperature for the 1785K-PMPS-1700 terminal is 50 degrees Celsius. A minimum of 2 inches of free space should be provided around the terminal inside the enclosure when it is mounted, but it is preferable to have 4 inches of free space.
