Dialogue module
Powerful process and dialogue modules
for operation and visualisation in mobile
machines are gaining more value. With its
high-resolution modern 302 mm graphic
display, a powerful 32-bit controller, optimum
readability and flexible programming, this is a
device that fully meets these requirements.
Advanced ‘optical bonding technology’
eliminates the clearance between front
glass and display and so prevents interfering
11
condensation. In addition, it improves
readability of the display under different
viewing angles.
Protected by a scratch-resistant glass
pane, the TFT display with a resolution of 1024
x 768 pixels ensures good visual detection
even with unfavourable sunlight conditions.
The new development also provides backlit
function keys and a navigation key with tactile
feedback.
Thanks to the extremely flat and fully
sealed die-cast zinc housing with IP 65 / IP
67 protection rating, the PDM360 NG-12
is especially suitable for use outdoors and
in cabins for surface or panel mounting.
Furthermore, four CAN interfaces with
CANopen and SAE J1939 protocol, an internal
mass storage, USB interface and interfaces
for analogue cameras ensure universal and
flexible use.
The PDM360 NG-12 process and dialogue
module is also available in a touchscreen
version with a 300 mm colour display with
13 freely programmable backlit function keys
and a navigation key with pushbutton.

First reasonably-priced camera
package with 90° lens
The Optris PI 640 thermal imaging camera
launched onto the market in 2014 is now
available with two additional changeable
lenses. Three lenses with 33°, 60° and 90°
fields of view are now available for different
measuring tasks and customer requirements.
With this offer, the manufacturers are
launching the first reasonably-priced VGA
thermal imaging camera with a 90° lens. The
offer includes both calibration and open
source software.
The Optris® PI 640 is used in different
industries worldwide. Many applications offer
very little space between the measured object
and the thermal imaging camera.
This is where IR users require greater
flexibility. The proprietary software also
enables the use of the thermal imaging
camera as a line scanner, allowing it to reach
a scanning angle (field of view, FOV) of up to
120°.
Developed, manufactured and calibrated
in Germany, the lenses have unique
components, including the germanium lenses
typically used in the longwave infrared range
(LWIR), where each respective lens is calibrated
for the thermal imaging camera.
The open source software included, is
free of charge with the delivery. Optris offers
a discount on the cost of adding another
lens to a thermal imaging camera including
calibration.
