LED Displays Used in Industrial Automation & Process Control

Industrial automation systems use electronic displays to communicate process values, machine parameters, production information and operating status to operators and engineers.

7 Segment LED Displays are suitable for equipment that primarily requires numerical information such as temperature, counts, measurements and set values. Alphanumeric Segment Displays can be used where both letters and numbers are required, while LED Bar Graphs and LED Light Bars can provide visual indication of changing levels, ranges and machine conditions.

Alfa Electronic Components offers multiple display configurations for integration into industrial electronic equipment, process control instruments, automation panels and monitoring systems.

Why Use LED Displays in Industrial Automation?

Clear Numerical Indication

Seven segment LED displays provide a straightforward format for presenting temperatures, counts, measurements, process values and other numerical information.

 

Multiple Digit Configurations

Industrial equipment can require different numerical ranges. Alfa’s range extends from 1 Digit 7 Segment Led Display to 6 Digit 7 Segment Led Display, allowing selection according to the information being displayed.

Visual Process Indication

LED bar graphs can provide a visual representation of changing levels, ranges and measurement conditions alongside numerical displays.

Character and Symbol Display

Alphanumeric Segment Display and dotmatrix displays can be considered when equipment needs to communicate information beyond simple numerical values.

 

Larger Display Options

Jumbo 7 Segment Display can be considered for production monitoring and other applications where numerical information needs to be viewed from a greater distance.

 

Character and Symbol Display

Alphanumeric Segment Display and dotmatrix displays can be considered when equipment needs to communicate information beyond simple numerical values.

How to Select an LED Display for Industrial Automation Equipment

Selecting the right display depends on the information being displayed, equipment design and viewing requirements.

Number of Digits

Determine the maximum numerical value that needs to be displayed.

  • Compact numerical indication → 1 Digit / 2 Digit 7 Segment Led Display
  • Temperature and process values → 3 Digit / 4 Digit 7 Segment Led Display
  • Larger counters and production values → 5 Digit / 6 Digit 7 Segment Led Display

Type of Information

Consider the type of information the equipment needs to communicate:

  • Numerical values → Seven Segment LED Displays
  • Letters and numbers → Alphanumeric Segment Display
  • Characters and symbols → Dotmatrix Displays
  • Changing measurement levels → LED Bar Graphs
  • Visual status indication → LED Light Bars

Viewing Distance

  • Compact industrial instruments may require smaller display formats, while production-floor monitoring applications may require larger displays such as the Jumbo 7 Segment Display.

Equipment and PCB Requirements

  • Physical dimensions, mounting arrangement, pin configuration and PCB layout should be considered during equipment design and display selection.

Application Environment

  • The operating environment and required visibility should also be considered when selecting a display for industrial equipment.

Custom LED Display Configurations for Industrial Equipment

Industrial electronic equipment may require display arrangements that differ from standard individual display configurations. Depending on the equipment design, manufacturers may require combinations of numerical displays, indicators and other display elements within a specific arrangement.
