Technical specifications

Overview
TF keyboards are used with the GF_VEDO family of control terminals. The two models (TF32-65 and TF32- 104) differ only in mechanical dimensions, in line with models GF_VEDO65 and GF_VEDO104. The keyboards have 32 keys/LEDs that can be fully customized by the user:
– key function
– LED function
– removable card
The front panel has a USB port from the GF_VEDO complete with cover to ensure IP65 protection.
This guarantees easy access (import/export) of application data.
Different communication protocols proposed:

  • High-speed serial [GT-TAST] for “point to point” use of a single keyboard at a maximum distance of 1 meter.
  • CANopen “CANopen, Ethernet Modbus TCP, Profibus DP” for applications requiring remoting and/or use of multiple keyboards.

The rear panel has a series of digital inputs whose state can be displayed via software. They can be used immediately with the TE electromechanical keyboard [see accessories].
