The SOT operator terminals are referred to as station operator terminals. They can be mounted and operated remotely at a distance of 1000 meters using an RS-485 cable. These Indramat terminals are majorly used in automation-related applications such as power plants to control mechanical equipment. SOT operator terminals encompass two major components: a keypad and a monitor for their operation. They are designed such that users input various functions and view important feedback-related functions at the same time.

• SOT operator terminals feature contact keys on their keypads that give out a click sound when pressure is applied to them and indicate that they are pressed correctly. These keys can help in changing the drive function quickly and easily.
• These operator terminals use non-glare LCDs with fluorescent lamp cold cathode backlighting for their monitors to render high black-and-white contrasts.
• The Indramat SOT operator terminals are characterized by eight output terminals allowing them to be connected to eight different machines simultaneously.
• The operator terminals come pre-programmed with suitable screens for DLC-R-type applications. However, they can also be programmed by the user using the manufacturer’s ScreenManager to customize the screens by executing the command line editor software package on a DOS computer.
• The software associated with the SOT operator terminals helps the operator enter the correct information and use the terminals with its Help screens.

The SOT operator terminals can portray more information at a time by displaying 16 lines with 40 characters at a time on a viewing area of 4-7/8 x 2-3/4 inches. The contrast levels of the monitors of these terminals can be adjusted for optimum viewing and to avoid strain on the eyes.

The keys on these terminals help in entering or changing various inputs provided on the control panel by the machine builder. These inputs include cycle start-stop resume, axis jog-forward/reverse and mode selection.
