Super Bright LCD Screens
This 5.7-inch monochrome LCD screen is the BRIGHTEST in the market
with an impressive 500cd/m2 and 15 shades of gray. That’s more vivid
than most TVs! The 256-color LCD screen is no slouch either, boasting
350cd/m2 illumination. In addition, this analog resistive touchscreen
provides a flexible layout. Just place objects or images anywhere on
the screen, making it easy to design a custom screen for your specific
application or project.

Remote communication is simple using 1:1 or 1:N Communications
with some of the major network drivers: IDEC with Web Server
module, Allen Bradley Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP. You can’t
beat the convenience of uploading, downloading and monitoring
projects and data over the Ethernet; all from your desk. No need
to spend extra time or money sending someone out to the field,
just set up your HG2G and you’re done!
Slim Design
Panel space is always at a premium, which is why HG2G is
constructed with a low-profile bezel extending only 36mm
deep behind the panel and requiring minimal room. That’s
a space savings of over 14mm compared with our previous
model! Plus a power LED indicator on the front makes it easy
to see your operator interface power status, while taking up
no additional room.

1:N PLC Communication
User Communication
Major Brand PLC Communications
IDEC Operator Interface communication capabilities
expand well beyond IDEC brand PLCs. Other major PLC
manufacturers supported are: Allen Bradley, Mitsubi-
shi, Omron, Automation Direct (Koyo), Keyence, GE,
Modicon, Siemens, Sharp, Hitachi, Schneider, Yaskawa,
Fanuc, Panasonic and Yokogawa.
1:N PLC Communication
Connect a single HG2G to multiple PLCs for
centralized control. One HG2G can monitor
and control PLCs in several different locations.
The maximum number of PLCs that can be
connected depends on the PLC brand. See the
WindO/I-NV2 manual for supported manufacturers.
User Communication
Get better component interaction by setting
the HG2G communication protocol to the one
required by your serial devices, for example a
barcode reader. This function uses transmit and
receive instructions to build your own protocol.

Ethernet/IP Communication
O/I Link Communication
Pass-through Function
O/I Link Communication
Create an OI network where multiple HMIs in different
locations are connected to the same PLC for convenient
monitoring and controlling in expansive operations.
One HG2G can serve as a master while 15 other HG2G
operator interfaces can be slaves in the O/I Link, with a
total maximum distance of 200 meters.
Sub Host Communication
Easily communicate with two different
PLC Protocols at the same time. Supported
protocols include IDEC MicroSmart and
Modbus RTU.
Pass-through Function
Conveniently download a PLC program from a PC
through the operator interface. Only one cable is
needed to program both units. The Pass-through
function is applicable to IDEC (MicroSmart and
OpenNet Controller) and Mitsubishi (MELSEC-FX,
FX3UC and Q) PLCs.

and can be used to upload, download, or
monitor project data to the HG2G.
Reliable Hardware - Versatile Touchscreen
No matter where you are, HG2G can be clearly viewed from a wide
variety of angles due to a bright display supporting 15 levels of
grayscale or 256 colors. A fine resolution of 320 x 240 also means
you can fit more buttons and displays on every screen, making it
perfect for even the most complex projects.

WindO/I-NV2 Programming Software
Automation Organizer is a software
suite that includes WindCFG (a system
configuration tool), WindO/I-NV2 (for IDEC
operator interface programming), and
WindLDR (for IDEC PLC programming).
WindCFG software allows users to
create a layout of components (i.e. PLC,
OI, Barcode Reader, etc.) then directly
configure each component.
IDEC WindO/I-NV2 software is easy
and intuitive using drag-and-drop
functionality. An extensive built-in
symbol library and built-in PLC drivers,
easy-to-manage projects and screens,
along with multilingual capabilities,
as well as security, script and many
other functions give you all the choices
you need to keep your projects running
smoothly.
Supports Standard Windows Fonts
Fonts used in Windows can be used on the
IDEC Touchscreens, making it possible to
choose from a variety of text styles.
Multilingual Capabilities
The IDEC Touchscreen family can
support other languages. With the
text group function you can create a
text database in different languages.
Once the touchscreen is in a different
country (e.g. China or Mexico) the
customer can easily switch all text
messages from English to Chinese or
Spanish by a touch of a button.
Security Function
Provides different levels of security
and restrictions for multiple users on
editing projects or while displaying
screens and objects.
New Operation Log Function
With upgraded WindO/I-NV2 software,
you can record information about every
operation made with your operator
interface. Help analyze and solve causes
of problems and system errors by
checking who, when, what and where
operations were performed.
10
Flexible Workspace allows for dynamic screen design
Extensive Image Library
A built-in symbol library provides over 5,000
images to help you create cutting edge
graphical screens.
Flexible Screen Display
With WindO/I-NV2 software, screens can be
easily arranged. A total of 3000 base screens
can be created (as allowed by memory size).
Sub-screens known as pop-up menus can be
resized, made using the superimpose function,
and can appear anywhere around the base
screen.

Easy Programming of Operating Conditions
Operating conditions for objects such as switches, lamps,
bit/word write, screen switching, and many more are easy
to use. Step-by-step wizards guide the user through the
set-up process.
Script Function
Users with basic programming knowledge in “C” can combine
conditional statements, mathematical operations, and other
functions to create simple and complex processes, greatly
reducing the programming required in the PLC. A syntax check
function is also available to provide easy program troubleshooting.
