Beijer E1041 Human-Machine Interface

The Beijer Electronics E1041 is a high-performance Human Machine Interface (HMI) from the legacy E1000 series. Known for its robust build and versatile connectivity, it has been a staple in industrial automation for bridging the gap between operators and machines.

## Product Overview

The E1041 features a 10.4-inch TFT-LCD display and is designed for medium-to-large scale applications. It operates on the flexible Information Designer software, allowing for seamless integration with a wide variety of PLC brands (Mitsubishi, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, etc.).

## Technical Specifications

## Key Advantages

• Multi-Protocol Support: Can communicate with multiple PLCs simultaneously, making it ideal for complex systems.

• Web-Enabled Features: Supports remote access, email notifications, and integrated FTP servers for data management.

• Durability: Built with an industrial-grade aluminum housing to withstand harsh environments (vibration, heat, and moisture).

• High Expandability: Features an expansion slot for additional fieldbus cards (e.g., Profibus, CANopen).

• User-Friendly Design: Clear, high-contrast display with wide viewing angles.

## Critical Considerations (Precautions)

• Lifecycle Status: The E1000 series is largely considered legacy/end-of-life. New projects should consider the Beijer X2 series as a modern replacement.

• Programming Software: Requires Information Designer or E-Designer. It is not compatible with the newer iX Developer software.

• Power Supply: Ensure a stable 24V DC source. Voltage spikes can damage the sensitive internal logic.

• Touchscreen Care: Clean only with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using sharp objects or harsh chemicals on the screen surface.

## Product Applications

The E1041 is versatile enough for various industries, including:

• Manufacturing: Assembly lines and CNC machine monitoring.

• Water Treatment: Real-time monitoring of pump stations and filtration levels.

• Food & Beverage: Managing recipe parameters and packaging automation.

• Building Automation: Controlling HVAC systems and lighting in large facilities.
