Into the building with one touch

The VIPA Company for visualization and process automation ltd. in Herzogenaurach plans, after the successful market introduction, to make their Touch Panel family now also available for the building automation.

The design of the new panels has been adjusted especially for the home and office realm. The VIPA panels can control all electronic devices in the building. The single applications cover the fields entertainment and home office, security systems as well as a multiplicity of control and information features.

The graphical VIPA Touch Panel controls and visualizes functions in the office and living area. A tip on the display easily controls lighting and Venetian blinds. The Touch Panel has an eloxated aluminum frame and a screen diagonal of 5.7 to 10.4 inch with a resolution of 320 x 240 to 800 x 600 pixels. Other sizes are already in preparation.

The Touch Panel surface offers a user-friendly menu structure. Via the simple arranged control elements time profiles may be entered and scheduled valued may be changed. The visualization is available with symbols or text.

The background lighted display is dimmable and can be switched off.

Via the integrated STEP7 PLC also complex connections may be realized.

The software installation takes place via SD card or network.

The series of the new Touch Panels is available as from the 3rd quarter 2006.

VIPA was founded in 1985 in Erlangen by Mr. Wolfgang Seel as a system house for automation engineering. After the first PC-based machine operating panel there were further developments of control and communication modules. The first customers were from the automotive and food industry, conveying engineering and machine and plant construction. VIPA has been increasingly active in the European market since 1995.

The introduction of the modular automation System 200V was the basis for creating more powerful, faster and more reliable systems. In the year 2000 the new 2000sq.m headquarter in Herzogenaurach, west of Erlangen was opened.

The development of the SPEED7 High-SPEED PLC in 2003 was a further technological milestone in the automation equipment range (www.speed7.com). In 2005, VIPA has extended the product range with the Touch Panel family.

Over 100 highly qualified employees are working for VIPA in Germany. In addition to that there are VIPA branche offices and Service partners in 48 countries.
