SIM152 3.5″ HMI

SIM152 3.5″ HMI

SIMx52 Technical Product Brief (TPB)

SIM152 is a future product; Contact Serious for details.

SIM152 will be an Extended Lifetime Product and recommended for new designs

The SIM152 features a small 3.5″ 320×240 color LCD — perfect for highly space constrained designs. Powered by the Renesas RZ/A1L MPU with a 400MHz Cortex A9 core, and equipped with our proprietary SHIPEngine firmware, the SIM152 delivers a large array of options for front panel applications with industrial, commercial, and medical applications in a small package.

Featuring built-in RS485/UART and high-speed USB connectivity, SIMx52 family members are easily integrated into existing system designs. The 30-pin expansion connector provides further expandability to custom daughter-cards or off-the-shelf Serious Communications/Control Modules for extensive connectivity (including WiFi, Bluetooth, Ethernent, RSxxx, CAN, and more) as well as powerful system control.

Explore these options compared to the SIM152:

  • SIM252for similar capabilities and pricing in a wide-format 4.3″ form factor
  • SIM352for a larger, high resolution 5″ experience
  • SIM552for similar capabilities in a larger 7″ form factor
  • SIM562for a high performance 7″ experience with video playback
  • SIM862for a high-performance 10.1″ experience with video playback
