Description
Flagship Model of HMI for extensive use of information
How can you fully utilize only the information you need from scattered big data? SP5000 Series provides Smart Portal, a window that optimally displays information in response to a demand for increasingly sophisticated
information utilization as a new solution.
Features:
A. Valuable information in the right format
1. Use Windows Applications via the On-Site Smart Portal
- SP5000 stores the documents you always use to the Smart Portal so that you can utilize them. Use manuals and troubleshooting guides that you already have as they are, without special instruction screens, to drastically cut design man-hours.
2. Utilize Your Own Applications
- You can use your own applications on the on-site Smart Portal.
3. Dedicated launcher
- The dedicated launcher which is Pro-face original tool also makes application startup easier and more flexible.
4. Use On-Site Smart Portal to Perform Maintenance
- SP5000 can store maintenance and a variety of other tools. To perform maintenance, you used to have to bring a PC, open the control panel, look for the controller and connect a cable. Lack of space to even put the computer down meant that you frequently debugged with the PC on your lap. With SP5000, the HMI usually used as a control terminal serves the role of a PC at times to reduce workload during maintenance. You can also combine with the Pro-face Remote HMI to remotely monitor and control applications. To monitor using a tablet, for example, you can start the HMI screen with a PLC program tool.
5. Improved debugging efficiency
- With the SP5000 series wireless LAN model, easily check device status anywhere without cables.
6. Use Even More Information in High-Speed Processing
- CPU capacity is 8 times greater than our existing HMI. Renders a visually pleasing display even if the amount of information to display on the screen increases. Motion and other position information, for example, is displayed at high speeds and large-quantity recipes are processed at high speeds. Animation is used to express equipment status realistically, while flowcharts and other detailed information also display clearly.
7. Crisp display
- Since up to 16 million colors are available for display, you can create a beautifully visible screen with pictures.
8. Wide display
- The 16:9-wide screen allows you to use the right and/or left space for a landscape-oriented graph as well as a menu in order to access lots of information.
9. Large display
- The largest 19-inch (1366 x 768) of SP5000 series can show lots of information on a screen. A wide selection of sizes from 7 to 19-inch display is available.
10. Tablet-based on-demand HMI
- See status of equipment or devices in the right place at the right time.
11. HMI for ANDON (Large-sized monitor)
- Optimize work by sharing production status.
B. Bring your factory closer to your office
1. Connect Different Networks after Securing Safety
- Mounted with 2 Ethernet ports, SP5000 makes network segmentation simple. Different IP addresses can be configured for each port, enabling safety to be secured before construction of the network system. For example, installing SP5000 between office and factory networks helps utilization of both the big data continuously increasing at the production site as control devices get faster, and the continuously increasing big data on the office side of production control.
2. Network Modularity
- Until now, only 1 IP address could be set to our existing HMI, and it took equipment manufacturers a lot of time to change all device IP addresses on various tools at the time of delivery. SP5000 allows you to eliminate reconfiguration time at delivery by allowing 2 IP addresses to be configured from the start.
3. Reduce cable-wiring time
- Easily modify production lines. The SP5000 series wireless LAN model allows you to add devices without any changes to existing system.
4. Protects system even during a sudden power interruption
- Computers are useful for general-purpose applications, but needed an uninterruptible power supply or similar measures in case of a sudden power interruption. SP5000 is fitted with a data backup NVRAM to protect histrical data in the event of a sudden power interruption. Power can be turned off in the same way as the normal HMI even without executing shutdown processes like a computer.
5. Merge data from different devices
- Unify protocols and collect data efficiently.
C. Simple to use - any time, any place
1. Supports Flexible Designs

4. Expand functions with a single USB cable
- Supports the convenient EZ Series option, which allows simple expansion of functionality by connecting a USB cable to SP5000.
5. Eliminate maintenance tasks and costs
- Modular construction and storage mounts included for the main unit make maintenance easy to perform with SP5000 in a short amount of time. For example, by replacing the display unit alone or just the box, you can eliminate the costs for spare parts. Also, since box replacement entails simply replacing the data media (SD/CFast), anyone can do the job.
6. USB Front Interface
- For Premium Display, USB Interface is located on the front side. It’s easy to take data and do maintenance.
7. Integrated Mounting Bracket
- Integrated mounting bracket does away with the need for separate optional accessories every time setup or maintenance work is conducted.
8. Easily bring wireless environment with a display
