- OP-1500 Automation Direct Operator Interface
Description
The OP‑1500 is a compact operator interface panel designed to provide a simple human‑machine interface (HMI) between an operator and an industrial control system, typically a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
It was marketed under AutomationDirect’s HMI offerings and fits into the OptiMate® series of operator terminals.This panel features a backlit LCD display, numeric keypad,
function keys, and indicator lamps, enabling operators to view status messages, enter numeric data, and control system functions through PLC logic. It communicates with
PLCs and controllers over serial communications (RS‑232/RS‑422).The OP‑1500 is retired (discontinued) and is often found only as
surplus or refurbished units; AutomationDirect lists it as a retired item with no direct replacement available.

Programming & Messages
-
Supports up to ~160 predefined text messages stored in the panel’s memory for display.
-
Requires configuration software (e.g., OPEditor) to define messages and panel behavior.
|
Machine Control
-
Displaying status or error messages from a PLC‑controlled machine.
-
Allowing the operator to input setpoints or control values (e.g., batch quantity, process rates) directly into a machine’s control logic.
Process Monitoring & Adjustment
-
Real‑time viewing of process parameters (like flow rates, temperatures) and making adjustments via the keypad.
-
Used in blending systems, batching operations, or other processes where numeric data entry and display are needed.
PLC‑Based User Interface
-
Serving as an inexpensive HMI alternative for basic PLC systems where full graphic panels aren’t required.
-
Suitable for small machines, packaging lines, or simple production equipment where detailed visualization isn’t necessary.
