Enhance Your Industrial Interface with Delta HMI Screens
Delta HMI Screens (Human Machine Interface) are high-performance visualisation solutions designed to bridge the gap between operators and industrial machinery. Manufactured by Delta Electronics, these touchscreens provide a reliable and intuitive platform for monitoring, controlling, and managing complex automation processes in real time.
Delta HMI screens are widely utilised across various sectors, including manufacturing, water treatment, packaging, and food processing. By providing clear graphical representations of system data and streamlined control layouts, Delta operator panels help businesses improve response times, minimize human error, and simplify the management of industrial equipment.
Featuring high-resolution displays, multi-language support, and seamless integration with PLCs and VFDs, Delta HMIs offer robust communication capabilities via Ethernet and serial ports. They are a trusted choice for South African industries seeking to enhance operational transparency, data logging, and user interaction within their automated systems.
Delta HMI Products
4.3-inch to 15-inch
The DOP-100 Series human machine interface incorporates the latest Cortex-A8 high-speed processor and a 65,536 color LCD display panel with high brightness and contrast.
Text Panel/Text Panel with PLC
The Text Panel is a monochrome text panel with graphical display which visualizes human and machine interaction. It converts a wide range of program codes into text.
Touch Panel/Touch Panel with PLC
The TP70P Series adopts a 65535 colors LCD touchscreen, supports Delta’s controllers. It can be connected to all of Delta’s servo drives, motor drives, and temperature controllers.
Delta HMI & Text Panel Selection Guide
This table highlights the differences between a dedicated high-end HMI (DOP-100), a cost-effective text panel (TP Series), and an all-in-one HMI/PLC hybrid (TP70P).
| Feature | DOP-100 Series (HMI) | TP Series (Text Panel) | TP70P Series (HMI/PLC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Function | Advanced Visualization | Simple Text/Data Interface | Integrated Control & Visualization |
| Display Type | 65k Color TFT LCD | Monochrome STN LCD | 65k Color TFT LCD |
| Screen Sizes | 4.3″, 7″, 10.1″, 12″, 15″ | 3″ to 4.1″ | 7″ Widescreen |

| Control Logic | External PLC Required | Basic Logic (on P-models) | Built-in PLC |
| I/O Integration | Communication only | Optional (Built-in I/O) | Standard Built-in I/O |
| Connectivity | Ethernet, RS232/485, USB | RS232/485, USB | RS485 (x2), USB |
| Programming | DOPSoft 4.0 | TPEditor | TPEditor & ISPSoft |
| Best For | Complex data, IoT, & Graphics | Low-budget, simple monitoring | Space-saving, stand-alone machines |
Which Series is Right for Your Project?
- Choose DOP-100 if: You need high-resolution graphics, remote monitoring via VNC, data logging to SD cards, or multi-language support for complex manufacturing lines.
- Choose TP Series if: You are on a strict budget and only need to display simple variables (like pressure or speed) and basic alarm text.
- Choose TP70P if: You want to save cabinet space and wiring costs by combining your PLC and HMI into a single unit. It is the ideal “all-in-one” solution for small-to-medium machines in South African workshops.
Technical FAQ for South African Operators
Q: Can I use the TP70P to control an ASDA-B2 Servo?
A: Yes. The TP70P features built-in RS-485 ports and a PLC core based on the DVP-SS2, making it perfectly compatible with Delta’s servo and motor drive ranges.
Q: Does the DOP-100 support remote access during load shedding?
A: If your network remains active, the DOP-100’s built-in VNC server allows you to monitor your machine from a smartphone or tablet via the local network or internet.
Q: Which software do I need for these panels?
A: DOP-100 uses DOPSoft 4.0, while the TP and TP70P series use TPEditor. If you are using the PLC functions of the TP70P, you will also need ISPSoft for logic programming.
