UNIOP CP01F-02-0045 HMI
UniOP CP01F-02-0045 is a specialized, compact Human-Machine Interface (HMI) designed for industrial environments that demand high visibility and mechanical durability.
It is part of the "Compact Panel" series by Exor, distinguished by its high-contrast Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD).
1. Introduction
The UniOP CP01F-02-0045 is a rugged operator panel featuring a 2-line VFD.
Unlike standard LCDs, the VFD technology provides superior brightness and wide viewing angles, making it the preferred choice for dark environments or applications where the screen must be readable from a distance.
It combines a tactile numeric keypad with programmable function keys, offering a reliable alternative to touchscreen interfaces in harsh factory conditions.

3. Product Advantages and Features
High-Visibility VFD: The self-luminous display ensures perfect readability in low-light conditions without the need for a backlight.
Tactile Keypad: Features 19 mechanical keys plus 5 user-programmable function keys with slide-in legends for custom labeling.
Dual-Driver Support: Uniquely capable of communicating with two different PLC protocols simultaneously, acting as a bridge between different control systems.
Rich Functionality: Supports over 130 communication drivers, 1024 alarms, recipe storage, and an 8-level password protection system.
Legacy Compatibility: Uses the standard CA114 programming cable, making it easy to integrate into existing UniOP infrastructures.
4. Application Cases
CNC & Metalworking: Ideal for lathes and mills where oily hands or gloves make touchscreens impractical.
Cold Storage & Logistics: Often used in environments where LCD response might be sluggish due to temperature; VFDs maintain high performance.
Conveyor Systems: Managing high-speed sorting and packaging lines where quick tactile input for setpoint adjustment is required.
Power Generation: Monitoring auxiliary systems where reliability and long-term display life are critical.
5. Installation and Maintenance
Mounting: Requires a panel cutout of 117 x 176 mm. Use the provided clips to ensure the IP65 seal is maintained.
Battery: Uses a CR2430 3V Lithium battery for the Hardware Real-Time Clock (RTC). This battery is user-replaceable and should be checked if system time is lost.
Maintenance: The front membrane is resistant to most industrial chemicals. Clean only with a soft cloth and mild detergent; avoid high-pressure water on the rear of the unit.
Configuration Mode: To enter configuration mode for project downloads, power on the unit while holding down any three keys on the keypad.
