Description
Core Product Summary
The Exor UniOP eTop306 is a compact industrial operator interface and HMI touch panel designed for real-time machine supervision, PLC control, and process data visualization. Featuring a 5.7-inch TFT color display with a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution and 64K color depth, the unit allows operators to monitor machine status, enter parameters, and manage active alarms across automated production lines.
Operating on a standard 24 VDC power supply, the eTop306 incorporates integrated Ethernet, serial, and USB communication interfaces, along with a plug-in slot for UniOP communication modules. Its IP65-rated front panel provides robust protection against water and dust ingress, making it suitable for panel-mounted deployment in packaging equipment, food processing machinery, and factory automation systems.

Detailed Product Overview
The Exor UniOP eTop306 functions as a high-reliability human-machine interface in industrial automation networks. Positioned on control panel doors or machine enclosures, it serves as the primary visual interface between plant operators and underlying programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motion controllers, or distributed I/O systems.
With its 5.7-inch TFT screen, the unit renders graphical synoptics, trending curves, parameter entry screens, and structured alarm lists. The integrated 10/100 Ethernet interface supports standard industrial protocols, enabling direct connection to PLC networks, remote monitoring stations, or factory MES systems. For legacy equipment integration, its configurable serial port handles multi-brand controller communication drivers.
System integrators installing the eTop306 must maintain proper panel cutout dimensions and tighten mounting clamps evenly to achieve an IP65 front-panel seal. Wiring requires a clean, regulated 24 VDC industrial power source and proper grounding to ensure reliable touchscreen actuation and noise-free serial data transmission.
