EKA associates are proud to announce a second version of Pageant, their intrinsically safe Operator Display. Thanks to a certified impact resistant front panel, the new display can be mounted in an Ex e or Ex t enclosure without invalidating the certification of the enclosure. This allows the new BA3102 Display, which retains all of the original state of the art features, to be safely installed in the same cubicle or enclosure as other Zone 1 or 2 equipment.
The original and new models simplify the design and reduce the cost of providing an Operator Display, Modbus Remote Display, or a PLC in a hazardous area. Multiple variables can be displayed simultaneously, and eight touch buttons with tricolour LED annunciators accept operator inputs. Intrinsic safety Ex ia protection provides maximum safety and allows installation in almost any flammable gas or combustible dust atmosphere in any Zone.
Featuring a 7 inch backlit trans-reflective display which can be read in all lighting conditions, Pageant and each of its plug-in I/O modules, have separate apparatus certificates allowing installation in Zones 0, 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22. The IECEx, ATEX and UKCA certifications permit any combination of plug-in modules to be fitted to the display without the need for additional certification. Plug-in input and output modules for interfacing 4/20mA currents, switch contacts, proximity detectors and pulse sources are available.
Pageant employs industry standard CODESYS® runtime software which complies with IEC 61131. The software includes a wealth of features and function blocks and is supplied with a lifetime licence. CODESYS runtime software is an industry standard already installed in more than 1,500 different products worldwide. It is supported by extensive documentation, including video presentations, and will already be familiar to many users.
The display, eight programmable touch buttons and LED annunciators are mounted behind a 4mm thick toughened glass, or a scratch resistant polycarbonate window in the 316 stainless steel front panel. The front provides IP66 protection, is totally flat and easy to clean, making these Operator Displays ideal for petrochemical, pharmaceutical and distilling applications. Both Operator Displays are lightweight and dissipate less than 5W limiting enclosure heating.

ore electronics designers are specifying OKW’s tough SOLID-BOX to safeguard sensitive touch screens, control panels and displays in harsh industrial environments.
IK 08 (impact) and IP 66/IP 67 (ingress) protection make SOLID-BOX ideal for plant and machine construction, HVAC, IoT/IIoT, Smart Factory/Industry 4.0, gateways, data loggers, ICT, electrical installations, measurement/control, agriculture/farming, sensor systems and safety engineering.
SOLID-BOX underlines its aesthetic credentials with a smart, highly polished finish. Flush-fitting snap-on trims hide tamperproof and corrosion-resistant Torx fixing screws and captive lid screws. Separate screw channels enable ‘lid closed’ installation, protecting the seal and electronics.
The gently bevelled lid has a large recess for a membrane keypad or product label. The bottom section has deep recesses on the long sides to protect connectors and interfaces. Internal fastening pillars support PCBs, mounting plates and DIN rails.
SOLID-BOX is moulded from anthracite grey (RAL 7016) or light grey (RAL 7035) PC+ABS (UL 94 V-0), with increased heat resistance (Vicat/B 120 = 110°C) and chlorine-/bromine-free flame resistance. Custom colours are available on request.
There are three sizes: 115 (135 x 115 x 50 mm), 145 (180 x 145 x 60 mm) and 175 (225 x 175 x 70 mm). Mounting points on the rear of sizes 145 and 175 match the hole patterns of VESA MIS-D 75/100.
Accessories for SOLID-BOX include lid retainers, internal hinges, non-slip feet for desktop use, and self-tapping screws for PCBs or DIN rails. Compatible cable glands (M12 to M20) and cable bushings are also available.
OKW can supply SOLID-BOX fully customised. Services include CNC machining, printing and laser marking of logos and legends, decor foils, EMC shielding, and installation/assembly of accessories.
