In modern manufacturing and logistics environments, clear, direct, and understandable status information is essential. Banner Engineering's SD50 Status Display is a flexible, user-friendly, and robust alternative to expensive HMIs. Combining text and multicolor LEDs, the SD50 provides clear insight where it counts—right at the machine or workstation.

1. Overview & Applications

The SD50 is designed to effectively communicate process and machine data via text (16 static characters, up to 32 when scrolling) and multicolor RGB LEDs. Suitable for:

• equipment and status messages
• cycle timing, counts, fill levels, and sequences
• stations with pick-to-light or production instructions

2. Models & Integration

• Discrete, configurable via Banner's Pro Editor (without PLC)
• IO-Link & Modbus, adjustable via process data/holding registers
• Wireless variant with 2.4 GHz radio, connectable to star or multi-hop network

3. Hardware & Installation

• Display format: bright white LED, 28 mm characters, readable up to 10 m
• RGB status LEDs: choice of 7-14 colors and animations, 4 intensity levels
• Robust & IP65: polycarbonate housing
• Mounting: with clip or magnetic brackets, M12 connector cable

4. Configuration & Ease of Use

• Pro Editor software: configure color, animation, and text without programming
• Digital input control: 4-wire interface, including sequence, counter, timer, and measurement modes
• IO-Link/Modbus control: change dynamic characters via registers; wireless variant works with R70 modems

5. Efficiency & Benefits

• Affordable alternative to expensive HMIs, easily interchangeable
• Accelerated training: intuitive visual feedback simplifies operation and onboarding
• Flexible use: compatible with Banner sensor and safety systems, also suitable for wireless use
• Dynamic information: counter, measurement, timer, sequence modes: numerous possibilities for real-time feedback
