Key Capabilities

  • 4-inch high-resolution touchscreen display
  • Modular I/O with piggyback expansion support
  • Remote LCD display support
  • Four configurable analog inputs using rear plug-in personality cards
  • Industrial-grade embedded control platform

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and control
  • Instrumentation and data acquisition
  • Custom control systems
  • Prototype and development platforms
  • Embedded HMI solutions

Why It Matters

  • Compact 4-inch interface for panel or remote mounting
  • Expandable architecture for application-specific hardware
  • Configurable analog front-end without redesigning the main board
  • Built for industrial and embedded deployments

Rear Plug-In Analog Personality Cards

Four analog input channels can be configured through rear plug-in personality cards. This allows the same HMI Red Hornet base controller to support different field-signal requirements without changing the main controller board.

  • Four configurable analog input positions
  • Rear-access plug-in card architecture
  • Application-specific signal conditioning
  • Serviceable and upgradeable hardware approach

I/O Overview

The Red Hornet is intended as a flexible HMI/control platform with field I/O, communications, expansion support, and configurable analog input hardware.

Digital InputsField-state monitoring
Digital OutputsControl and status outputs
Analog InputsFour personality-card channels
CommunicationsApplication-dependent interfaces
ExpansionPiggyback module support

Expandable Architecture

The HMI Red Hornet uses a modular, stacked-board design approach. Expansion hardware can be added for specialized I/O, communications, monitoring, or control functions while keeping the main controller platform consistent.
