AET027 Series Compact Ethernet Terminals

These terminals are designed and manufactured to offer a flexible solution for any data capture and simple message display application.

For applications that require fewer than 27 key positions blanking tiles can be fitted to redundant keys. Caps can be fitted in place of the tiles to suit future applications.

The AET027 terminal range are tough, compact operator terminals that connect to the controlling host using TCP/IP over 10 Base-T Ethernet cable infrastructure. To suit the most demanding applications for accurate, fast and reliable keyboard input, the keypads use ergonomic PC key caps and full-travel Cherry key switch technology. The layout of the keypad is flexible and may be fully customised to meet your exact requirements.

The clear, easy to read display is available in high visibility Vacuum Fluorescent (luminous green characters) or standard LCD (liquid crystal) with backlight. Both displays are suitable for use in a wide range of lighting conditions.

Two host-addressable serial ports are provided to enable the connection of data capture equipment or to enable communication with other systems. Power for connected devices is provided to the serial DB9 connectors by the internal power converter.

Rapid application development for Microsoft Windows^TM Developers is provided by Access ActiveX control.
