MW2800 / MW2900 Series1.2.
The MW2800 / MW2900 series is a model that provides a customized operation interface for the
machinery factories, so it will have one more operation interface than other models; the following
figure shows different operation screens designed for the needs of various manufacturers:
Since there will be one more page of operation screen developed by the mechanical
manufacturer, there will be a button for the operation interface in the button menu part of the
bottom, which is convenient for the user to switch back to the main operation screen quickly.
The other operating parts are basically similar to the MW2200, which are operated by a keyboard
and mouse. The only difference is that the MW2800 series does not have a software operation
panel resident on the screen.
