The TS8000 has now been updated with DSI8000 software version 345. This new build brings many new features and enhancements to the power and functionality of the TS8000 HMI. Upgrading to this new version is easily accomplished with the TS8000. If your PC is connected to the Internet, just launch your current version of DSI8000. Once active, select Help from the menu bar, and select Check For Updates from the pull-down list. DSI8000 will then check for an update and will prompt you for installation if one is found.

Several new TS8000 series products have been recently introduced. Fieldbus option cards are now available for: IEEE 1394 Firewire, CANopen, DeviceNet, and PROFIBUS DP. In addition, the TS8000 is compatible with WAGO I/O Systems and provides a remote I/O solution that can be controlled by the HMI over Ethernet and CANopen networks.

Additionally, we are introducing a series of protective clear film overlays for use in harsh environments. Available for all four sizes of TS8000, the overlays are packaged in bundles of 10. By use of a pre-applied low-tack adhesive, application of the overlay is a snap!

Recently, Parker SSD Drives has announced new OEM brand-label options on the TS8000 series. Units can be ordered with custom three color overlays to suit individual customer needs. For more information, call a member of the Parker SSD Drives sales team. Minimum order quantities do apply for OEM configurations.

The TS8000 is available in a wide array of popular sizes and configurations: 3” Monochrome Pushbutton, 6” Color STN Touchscreen, 8” Color DSTN Touchscreen, and 10.4” Color TFT Touchscreen, for easy enclosure or operator console mounting.
