PU5 Series Overview

The Cermate PU5 series is a 12.1-inch widescreen industrial HMI panel designed for machine operators requiring more display space than entry-level 7" panels provide — without the cost and footprint of a full 15" unit. The PU5 hits a sweet spot for medium-complexity machines: packaging lines, injection moulding presses, CNC cutting machines, and conveyor control systems.

EZware Programming

The PU5 is programmed using Cermate's EZware software — a drag-and-drop screen builder available free from Cermate. EZware includes a library of pre-built objects (buttons, sliders, gauges, trend charts, alarm lists) and a PLC driver wizard that automatically configures communication settings for all supported PLCs. Typical simple screens can be built in under an hour.

The Cermate PU5 is available from TSL Automation Solutions with full India after-sales support. Contact us for pricing and sample units for evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cermate PU5 12-inch HMI panel used for?
The Cermate PU5 12-inch HMI panel is used as a medium-to-large machine operator interface for complex process visualisation — displaying multiple process values, alarm lists, trend charts, and multi-zone status across production machines, conveyor systems, and process control panels where a compact 7-inch screen provides insufficient display area.
What PLC communication protocols does the PU5 support?
The Cermate PU5 supports 300+ PLC drivers covering all major brands: Siemens S7-1200/1500/300/400, Mitsubishi FX/Q/iQ-R, Delta DVP/AS, Omron CP/CJ, Allen-Bradley MicroLogix/CompactLogix, Schneider Modicon, and any Modbus RTU/TCP, EtherNet/IP, or PROFIBUS device. Multiple PLC connections can run simultaneously on one PU5 panel.
Does the Cermate PU5 support ethernet connectivity?
Yes — the Cermate PU5 includes Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) connectivity for Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and OPC UA communication with PLCs and SCADA systems, as well as for EasyBuilder Pro project download and remote monitoring via the cMT Viewer app without requiring a physical USB connection.
What is the resolution of the Cermate PU5 12-inch HMI?
The Cermate PU5 12-inch model provides 800×600 or 1024×768 resolution (depending on variant) on an industrial-grade TFT LCD. The larger resolution allows more process data points, larger trend chart time windows, and more detailed alarm list views without requiring screen navigation.
Can I buy the Cermate PU5 HMI in India?
Yes — TSL Automation Solutions stocks the Cermate PU5 12-inch HMI in Mumbai with full after-sales support. We provide EasyBuilder Pro programming assistance, PLC communication configuration, and warranty service for all Cermate HMIs sold in India.
