Ranging from small 3.5″ to bold and modern 7″, the SIMx52 HMI module families have many LCD options to meet your embedded HMI needs, including sunlight-readable, extended temperature range, cap/resistive/no-touch, and more. 

Aside from LCD size and capability options, the SIMx52 family has several different feature options (“variants”) you can choose from based on your feature and cost needs:

Processor and Memory

• Renesas RZ/A1L 400MHz ARM Cortex A9 MCU
• 32MB SDRAM with 128MB QSPI NAND Flash storage for program, non-volatile data, and files system storage
• μSDCard socket for (user supplied) memory cards for file system expansion and firmware/GUI updates

Integrated graphics/touch and audio I/O:

• Integrated LCD with optional touch controller and ambient light sensor for high brightness LCD options
• Integrated audio 3W speaker codec/amplifier outputs and external codec/amplifier support

Numerous communications ports

• USB 2.0 high speed 480mbps host port A connector
• USB 2.0 high speed 480mbps device port Micro B connector
• RS422/485 port with selectable duplex and termination
• 3.3V UART with transmit control (separate from RS485 port)

Simple in-chassis connectivity

• Direct Dock to Generation 5 Serious Comms/Control Modules (SCMs, e.g. SCM318)
• 16-pin JST ZPD series wire-to-board connector (RS485/UART, Power, RESET#)
• 6-pin industrial 3.5mm pluggable connector (RS485, Power)
• 3-pin speaker connector

Wide Operating Range

• 10.8-35VDC wide-range power supply input
• -40 to +85C operating temperature range components (further limited by LCD option)
