XYCOM 3410T OPERATOR INTERFACE

XYCOM 3410T OPERATOR INTERFACE

Is a rugged industrial-grade touch screen operator interface. It is known for its excellent reliability, powerful functions and ability to adapt to harsh industrial environments

1. Product Overview

The XYCOM 3410T is a rugged, industrial-grade touchscreen operator interface. It was renowned for its exceptional reliability, robust functionality, and ability to withstand harsh industrial environments. This product was designed to provide factory operators with an intuitive and efficient platform for monitoring machine status, setting process parameters, viewing alarm messages, and executing manual control commands.

Core Positioning: To provide a reliable human-machine interaction solution for industrial automation systems.

2. Key Features

• Rugged Industrial Design:

  • NEMA 4/4X/12 Rating: The front panel is completely sealed, effectively protecting against dust, water, oil, and chemical contaminants, making it suitable for wet and dirty factory environments.

  • High Durability: Designed to withstand vibration, shock, and operate reliably across a wide temperature range.

  • Resistive Touchscreen: Allowed for operation with gloved hands and could be activated with a finger or stylus, making it ideal for industrial settings.

• Excellent Display Performance:

  • 10.4-inch TFT LCD Display: Considered a large screen at the time, providing a clear and bright image.

  • VGA Resolution (640 x 480): Capable of displaying complex graphics, process flow diagrams, and detailed equipment status information.

  • High Brightness: Ensured clear visibility even under strong ambient lighting.

• Powerful Communication & Connectivity:

  • Built-in Industrial Network Interfaces: Supported major industrial network protocols of its era, such as Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and Data Highway Plus (DH+). This enabled easy integration into mainstream automation systems, particularly with Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley) PLCs.

  • Multiple Serial Ports: Typically equipped with RS-232 and RS-422/485 ports for connecting to other PLCs, drives, barcode readers, or printers.

• Flexible Configuration Software:

  • Typically configured using Xycom’s dedicated software (e.g., Xycom 7000 Series software). This software allowed engineers to use a graphical drag-and-drop interface to easily create elements like buttons, indicator lights, data entry fields, alarm lists, and trend charts, linking them to register addresses in the underlying PLC.

4. Primary Applications

The XYCOM 3410T was widely used in various industrial applications requiring reliable HMI, including but not limited to:

• Automotive Manufacturing: Welding, assembly, painting lines

• Food & Beverage: Processing, packaging, filling equipment

• Material Handling: Conveyor systems, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS)

• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Monitoring pumps, valves, and processes

• Oil & Gas: Monitoring extraction and pipeline equipment

• Plastics & Rubber Industry: Injection molding machines, extruder control

5. Brand Background & Status

• XYCOM was a company with a long history and strong reputation in the industrial computer and operator interface market.

• The company was later acquired by Rockwell Automation, and its product lines were integrated into the Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley brand.

• Therefore, the XYCOM 3410T is now typically considered part of the Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley product family. During its lifecycle, it was supported by Rockwell’s global technical support and supply chain.
