The **Pro-face PF3107-C-HW** is a rugged, user-centric industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI) panel, part of Pro-face’s (now Schneider Electric) PF3000 series—engineered to bridge the gap between operators and critical control systems in industrial environments. Designed for clarity, durability, and seamless integration, the **Pro-face PF3107-C-HW** features a 7-inch high-visibility display, resistive touch functionality (optimized for glove use), and broad compatibility with PLCs/DCSs from leading brands (e.g., GE FANUC, Siemens, Emerson). As a core operator interface, the **Pro-face PF3107-C-HW** enables real-time monitoring of process data (e.g., temperature, pressure), manual control of equipment, and quick access to diagnostic alerts—making it indispensable for applications where uptime and operator efficiency matter. Its industrial-grade construction ensures reliability in dusty, high-moisture, or vibration-prone settings, from factory floors to wastewater treatment plants. The **Pro-face PF3107-C-HW** also simplifies configuration via Pro-face’s EasyBuilder Pro software, reducing setup time and lowering training costs for maintenance teams.

The Pro-face PF3107-C-HW’s 7-inch WVGA (800 x 480) display delivers sharp, high-contrast visuals—critical for operators monitoring complex process data in bright or dim industrial environments. The LED backlight (50,000-hour lifespan) ensures consistent brightness without frequent replacements, while the wide viewing angle (160° horizontal/vertical) allows multiple operators to view the screen simultaneously (e.g., on a packaging line, where two technicians may need to check conveyor speeds or error codes). Unlike smaller 5-inch HMIs, the Pro-face PF3107-C-HW provides enough screen real estate to display multiple data widgets (e.g., trend graphs, alarm lists, and control buttons) on a single page, reducing the need for operator navigation and speeding up decision-making.
Industrial operators often wear gloves to protect against chemicals, sharp objects, or extreme temperatures—and the Pro-face PF3107-C-HW’s 5-wire resistive touch technology is engineered to work seamlessly with gloves up to 3mm thick. This is a critical advantage over capacitive touch HMIs (which fail with gloves) in sectors like automotive manufacturing (where technicians wear cut-resistant gloves) or food processing (where disposable gloves prevent contamination). The touch surface is also scratch-resistant (hardened glass) and easy to clean with industrial wipes, ensuring durability even in high-use environments. For precision tasks (e.g., adjusting setpoints), the touch panel supports calibration to maintain accuracy over time.
The Pro-face PF3107-C-HW eliminates compatibility headaches by supporting a wide range of industrial protocols, including Modbus RTU/TCP, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and brand-specific protocols for Mitsubishi and Siemens PLCs. This flexibility allows it to integrate with existing control systems without requiring custom gateways. For example, in a petrochemical refinery, the HMI can connect to a GE FANUC IC695CPE330-AB CPU via Ethernet/IP to display turbine pressure data, while simultaneously communicating with a Siemens S7 PLC via PROFINET to control valve positions. This universal compatibility reduces upgrade costs—facilities can retain their current PLCs while adding the Pro-face PF3107-C-HW for improved operator visibility.
The Pro-face PF3107-C-HW’s front panel is rated IP65, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets (e.g., washdowns in food plants or rain in outdoor utility cabinets). This durability makes it suitable for harsh applications: in a dairy processing plant, for instance, the HMI can withstand daily cleaning with sanitizing sprays without internal damage. The rear of the unit is IP20-rated to protect against accidental contact, while the overall design resists vibration (10-500 Hz) and voltage spikes—common in manufacturing facilities with heavy machinery. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 100,000+ hours, the Pro-face PF3107-C-HW delivers long-term reliability, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Pro-face’s EasyBuilder Pro software simplifies HMI programming, even for operators with limited experience. The software includes pre-built templates for common applications (e.g., pump control, temperature monitoring) and drag-and-drop widgets, cutting configuration time by up to 50% compared to proprietary HMI software. The Pro-face PF3107-C-HW also features 128 MB Flash and 256 MB RAM, with expandable memory via a microSD card (up to 32 GB)—allowing storage of historical data logs, recipe files, or backup configurations. For example, in a batch chemical plant, operators can log process data to the microSD card for compliance reporting, or store 100+ product recipes for quick batch changeovers.
- Pro-face PF3105-C-HW – 5-inch variant of the Pro-face PF3107-C-HW, ideal for space-constrained applications (e.g., small packaging machines) where a smaller display suffices.
- Pro-face PF3110-C-HW – 10-inch upgrade of the Pro-face PF3107-C-HW, offering a larger display (1024 x 600 pixels) for detailed data visualization (e.g., refinery control rooms with multiple process graphs).
- Pro-face PF3107-T-HW – Capacitive touch version of the Pro-face PF3107-C-HW, designed for clean environments (e.g., electronics manufacturing) where gloves are not required and multi-touch functionality is useful.
