With multi-color display options, remote programmability, and easy installation, it enhances operator awareness, safety, and productivity in manufacturing and automation settings.

Connects to most Major PLCs and Networks Uticor Tough Marquees seamlessly connect with leading industrial controllers, including Allen Bradley, Modicon, Siemens, and Mitsubishi, as well as communication protocols like DH+ and Profibus. Essentially, all serial and network drivers available on Toughpanels are also integrated into the Master Tough SmartMarquees, ensuring broad compatibility and efficient connectivity.

Message Database Uticor's Tough SmartMarquee offers versatile message display options, including stationary, scrolling, and blinking modes, all controlled through embedded codes in an ASCII string. These messages, along with their display attributes, are securely stored within the Tough SmartMarquee. With virtually unlimited storage capacity, messages can also be easily imported from or exported to an Excel spreadsheet for seamless management.

Mixed Character Heights Unique feature allowing for mixed character heights on a single line.

Multi-Language Support Unicode feature enables objects to be displayed in multiple languages.

Connectivity Communicate over EtherNet/IP, Modbus, TCP/IP, Profibus, Modbus RTU and more.

Exclusive Support for Allen Bradley DH+ Only HMI that supports DH+ and RemoteI/O.

100K+ Hour Lifetime Long life, with uniform brightness

User Friendly Software Intuitive design reduces development time from days to hour.

ASCII String Over Etherent Send ASCII over ethernet using TCP/IP Protocol.

Stainless Steel Design Provides durability, corrosion resistance and easy sanitation. Ideal for harsh enviroments.

Advanced Alarm Management Features alarm history, preview protection and direct Marquee alerts.

ToughSmart Slave Marquee

Slave ToughSmart Marquees need to have the message to be displayed communicated to the marquee. These marquees do not have message storage capability except fot the last message sent to it. The message protocol can either be simple ASCII or PMD protocol that has been ex- tensively used for Uticor Marquees. ASCII or PMD selection is made by the user through a DIP switch on the back panel of the Marquee. Slave Tough SmartMarquees can also be ordered with Ethernet, DeviceNet, or Profibus commu- nication interface built-in. This allows you to connect multiple Slave Tough SmartMarquee over any of these networks and reduces hard wiring costs. ASCII String directly from PLC Most PLCs have the capability of generating ASCII string for e.g. Allen Bradley SLC and Micrologic series have AWT ASCII write command, Mitsubishi FX series PLCs have RS (FNC 80) and Siemens S7 series have SMT string generator instructions. ASCII String over Ethernet ASCII strings can also be sent to the Slave Tough SmartMarquees over Ethernet medium using TCP/IP protocol. PMD Input from Uticor 3100 Master Marquee or PMD External Message Controller The Slave Tough SmartMarquees can also accept message strings in PMD protocol. This protocol has additional advantages of being able to blink a single character or word, have a chained message, invisible message or a circular message que. ASCII String from DeviceNet or Profibus Slave Tough SmartMarquee models when ordered with built-in DeviceNet or Profibus interface provides DeviceNet or Profibus connectivity. This interface provides a digital, multi-drop net- work that can be used for communicating with DeviceNet or Profibus enabled controllers and I/O devices. These slave interfaces accept ASCII strings from their respective masters. DeviceNet control system provides a single point of connection both for configuration and support for I/O as well as explicit messaging. The Profibus communication interface also has an autodetect fea- ture for the baud rate of the Profibus network. Marquee Configurations Slave Marquees DO NOT STORE message, and do not initiate communications with other intelli- gent devices, such as PLCs. These Marquees display characters received on their serial port. The slave marquees are typically driven by another Master marquee, PLC, a message controller or some other intelligent device, such as a PC

Alarms & Alarm Database Tough SmartMarquees offer a sophisticated Alarm system. It allows you to monitor events (bits), and values (registers). The values can be monitored for a variety of conditions (=, >, <, in/out of range). These alarms can be selectively displayed, printed and/or logged. The alarms are also stored in a seperate alarm database which can be imported and exported to an Excel spread sheet.

Master Tough SmartMarquees has a built-in Toughpanel HMI CPU which allows to read, calculate,

compare PLC tags and perform complex math operation, generate alarms.

Message Database

With Tough SmartMarquee, messages displayed can be Stationary, Scrolling or Blinking based on

the embedded codes in an ASCII string. These messages along with their display characteristics

are stored inside the Tough SmartMarquee. The number of mesages stored are practically unlim-

ited. Messages can be imported from and exported to an Excel spread sheet.

Alarms & Alarm Database

Tough SmartMarquees offer a sophisticated Alarm system. It allows you to monitor events (bits),

and values (registers). The values can be monitored for a variety of conditions (=, >, <, in/out of

range). The alarms can be selectively displayed, printed and/or logged. The alarms are also

stored in a seperate alarm database which can also be imported from or exported to Excel

spread sheet.

Math-logic/Multi-function Buttons, Overlapping Objects

Master Tough SmartMarquees offer a sophisticated control, called the Multi-function Object. As

the name implies, this Object allows you to perform multiple functions, including Mathematical

and Logical operations on PLC data. For example, you can set/reset multiple bits & transfer con-

stants or variables or expressions to tags. Remarkably, this Benefit allows a user to perform up

to 20 operations with one Object. Master Tough SmartMarquee also allows you to perform these

Multiple functions under the PLC control a very useful feature to offload mathematical & logical

computations from the ladder logic to the Marquee.

Connects to most Major PLCs and Networks

Uticor Tough Master Marquees connect to Allen Bradley, Modicon, Siemens, Mitsubishi, DH+,

Profibus, etc. Essentially all drivers serial as well as Network that are available on Toughpanels

are also incorporated into master Tough SmartMarquees.

Simple Software

Master Tough SmartMarquees are programmed using an easy, Windows based Programming

software. This software contains message import/export capabilities to other applications.

Marquee Configurations

Master Marquees STORE user-programmed messages. These marquees have PLC interfaces, and

INITIATE communications with PLCs to monitor various PLC registers. Based on PLC register val-

ues, and programmed messages, Master Marquees display messages. Master Marquees can also

drive Slave Marquees.
