The MS Series HMI is CE-marked and meets your need to be highly transient-resistant while in operation.
Also, its compact design makes connections with other machinery more flexible, thus achieving the optimal MS60-COM1 MS60-COM2
performance of your machines.
MS Designer is used to design applications of the MS Series HMI; it is reliable, user-friendly and compat-
ible with many models.
The latest released MS Designer Version 1.0 and above can be used to design applications for the MS Series
HMI. The bench test performs an overall hardware test and the function test lets the user select which item to be
tested.
