Quickly Development Screen Graphics with V-SFT5
Monitouch is configured using a PC software application called V-SFT5, which provides drivers, ready built libraries of graphics for graphics to display data, graphs, trends, lamps, buttons and switches. In fact you can create any graphical image and turn it into a switch that will interact directly with your PLC or any other device on your network.
V-SFT5 is being updated on a regular basis and all updates are free!
When you have to deal with a large amount of information from your production site, a touch screen can make the difference.
Powerful, well connected and easy to use, these intelligent screens allow you to design custom screens with simple instructions for your operators while performing complex production tasks in the background.
The Hakko Monitouch extensive range of HMI solutions starts with the low cost reliable V6 series and ends with the high performance, high visibility V8 series.
Note: The Hakko Monitouch range of product is also known as Fuji Electric UG series. For more information please contact us.

The remote capabilities of Monitouch HMIs gives access to the troubleshooting data that engineers need to fix the problem fast. That is data from the entire process, not just the HMI & PLC, but all devices connected to the Monitouch, devices such as PLCs, Drives, Temperature Controllers and more. |
|
|
Information from the manufacturing process can be passed to other business processes using Monitouch's MES functionality. Bridging the gap between your business management system, SCADA package or custom software application. |
|
|
From production reports & labels to printing barcodes, Monitouch HMIs allow for the most flexible printing functionality in the industry. |
|
|
Monitouch HMI's provide configuration tools that make life easy when delivering bespoke application solutions. In addition to a large library of standard graphical, trend and graph functions, the V806 series of touch screens provides a efficient macro language that helps you to quickly develop smart tasks to operater or data events. |
|
|
Flexibility to connect multiple protocol devices such as PLC and temperature controllers. Flexibility to bridge data between multiple protocols. Getting connected with Monitouch HMI allows you to design control systems without limitations, utilising an industrially hardened, real time HMI. |
|
|
Data can be logged from any memory location within the Monitouch HMI or from any device connected to it. This provides a fast and secure way to process data from production machines or process environments. Data can be stored on removable data cards, USB sticks or transmitted over the ethernet using FTP and Web server technology. |

Applications
Hakko Monitouch HMI Application Overview
Monitouch provides a hub for all your machine, Scada or Process data. It provides easy connection of a large range of devices, ensuring data is read efficientlly from a wide range of sensors and PLC's
Up to eight (8) individual manufacturer 's communication protocols can be used at any one time, enabling data to be collated, stored and passed to all parts of your system.
Data can be read, logged, transferred and published from individual devices, or to web pages and database servers running MES or other SQL data stores.
Older Versions
Repairs
We offer a low cost "inspect and evaluate" service that identifies faulty parts that can be repaced from our stocks, or ordered to specific requirement.
The Hakko Monitouch range of HMI's are reliable and robust. Most units that are returned to us have either suffered from misuse or they have enjoyed many years of service and would therefore benefit from, a new front panel, a replacement back up battery and/or a back light.
