1. Introduction

The iKAN series is a family of industrial Modbus LED display devices that deliver industrial-grade
anti-noise capabilities as well as reliability and stability. The series display device is highly suitable
for presenting formatted messages in indoor areas using either Unicode characters, which can be
used to display multiple languages, or ASCII characters. Support for the popular Modbus industrial
protocol is provided meaning that iKAN display devices can be easily integrated into existing PLC
and SCADA environments.
168 variables are provided to allow data written from a PC or a PLC to be displayed in a formatted
message in real-time. Seven colors are available for the text, which can be used to indicate
different degrees of importance of the message, as well as significantly increase the readability of
the message in an industrial arena.
Messages can be edited using a standard web browser, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or IE, etc.,
on a PC, mobile device, or smartphone without any limitations related to specific control tools or
programs. The display of individual messages can also be remotely enabled or disabled as
necessary using the same standard web browser. Each model in the iKAN series provides storage
space for up to 64 common messages and 10 instant messages, each containing a maximum of 40
Unicode characters or 100 ASCII characters. With an open user interface and the ability to display
real-time data, the iKAN series display can be installed in a variety of indoor spaces, including
shopping malls, railway stations, and industrial areas.
