<strong>HMI</strong> CONVERSIONS<br />
ANY <strong>HMI</strong> CONVERTED TO PROFACE<br />
The most difficult part of migrating to another brand of hmi is the conversion<br />
costs. Vendors used to do this for free, it is <strong>2020</strong> and nothing remains the<br />
same. They will still do this if you have like 100 units, but what if you only<br />
have a few? There are also plenty of automated conversion tools, but most of<br />
them do not work based on our testing. Our solution is $60* per hour on the<br />
conversions. This is a great price for engineering and will last all of <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
A. You have a copy of the original program:<br />
• Awesome, this helps tremendously and will save a great deal<br />
of effort and cost.<br />
B. You have a printed copy of the original program:<br />
• No problem, this just means more work and we will need to<br />
make sure all of the information is available to proceed.<br />
C. You have nothing but an hmi looking at you:<br />
• Again, no problem, this just means a lot more work and we will<br />
need to make sure all of the information is available to proceed<br />
including a visit to possibly pull the program out.<br />
<strong>Conversion</strong>s available for: Rockwell (Allen Bradley), Siemens,<br />
Red Lion, GE, Toshiba, Telemecanique, AVG, EZ-Automation,<br />
Maple Systems, ABB, Rohtek, Phoenix, Hy-Tech, Beijer, Mitsubishi,<br />
Automationdirect, Advantech, Delta, Eaton, Fuji, Omron, Hitachi,<br />
and many more....<br />
* An application review based on A to C (situations listed above) will need to be<br />
completed prior to proceeding with special cost.
USING AUTOMATIONDIRECT?<br />
Why not use a Better <strong>HMI</strong> from the original <strong>HMI</strong> company that introduced the<br />
technology to the world. Better Price and Better Feature set.<br />
<strong>Proface</strong> GP4000E:<br />

• Ports: RS-232C x1, RS-422/485 x, Ethernet x1, USB (Type A x1 and Type mini-B x1)<br />
• 90+ Communication drivers<br />
• Realistic 3D parts<br />
• Animation<br />
• Trending and data analysis<br />
• Security features<br />

We also do the electronic repairs on all of these brands of <strong>HMI</strong>’s if the conversion<br />
does not make sense. Being useful is all about knowing when to back up and punt<br />
versus trying to gain additional yardage with time still on the clock.<br />
