Product Description
FlexDisplay — Real-time visibility, smarter decisions.
Use the FD-1 right out of the box, or configure specs per input for on-screen GO/NG, math, and automated data send. It’s the ideal choice when individual gages are hard to view or you need unmistakable operator feedback at the station.
- 4 gage inputs / 1 display with a front rotary switch to choose the active port
- GO/NG at the input level and a Master GO/NG across all selected ports
- Remote zero for the displayed reading; data send via button or 2.5 mm jack
- Send to PC/PLC in standardized serial formats; PLC I/O for part sorting and alarms
- Math functions: add/subtract between two ports (more functions available on FlexDisplay family)
- Watchdog & channel bypass: flags gage errors without stopping other inputs
