Kinco HMI: when we ship a Chinese panel instead of Delta or Schneider
Kinco is our budget workhorse in the HMI segment. We pick it when the customer needs a touchscreen for an automation cabinet, the budget is tight, and Schneider Magelis or Siemens Comfort would cost 2-3x more. The factory has been running since 2003. We stock 60 models across three series (MT4x00 base, MT5x20 with USB Host, MT6x00 compact with hardened IP). 200+ third-party PLC drivers means it pairs with Siemens, Mitsubishi, Delta, Omron, Allen-Bradley without Modbus headaches.
Typical scenario in our shop: a small production line (pasta, dosing, bottling), the customer assembles the cabinet themselves, our sales engineer helps them spec the right model for the budget. Programming via free HMIware (older series) or D6/DTools (newer). One catch: the IDE is English-only, no Ukrainian localization, but the panel renders Cyrillic tags and comments fine at runtime. Some customers reported backlight wear in hot installations (boiler rooms), so for elevated temperatures we recommend MT6x00 with extended-range spec.
Which model we pick: 7" or 10"
Our most-shipped sizes are 7" and 10". For 7" we go with MT4414T (no Ethernet, RS-232/422/485 only) on machine tools, dosers, small nodes where Modbus-RS485 is enough. For 10.1" with Ethernet our default is MT4512TE (800x480 resolution) — pump stations, conveyors, anything that goes onto a TCP/IP plant network. For more complex visualization with trends and operator logs, ask about MT6500T 10.4" with hardened housing. For tiny cabinets (store HVAC, residential DHW) we ship MT4300TE 5.7".
What we ask before quoting. First: which PLC and which free communication port. Second: do you need Ethernet (the TE suffix in the model name). Third: install conditions (dust, temperature), so we do not put a base MT4x00 where MT6x00 with IP65 front is needed. 24-month official warranty. Free software, we send the link with the order.
