Shihlin Electric EC2000 Series Operator Panels
The EC2000 series by Shihlin Electric is a range of industrial-grade graphic touchscreen operator panels featuring colour TFT displays. These panels are designed for building intuitive human-machine interfaces (HMI) in process automation systems. With support for RS232, RS422, RS485 serial interfaces and Ethernet, the EC2000 ensures reliable communication with PLCs, variable frequency drives, and other industrial equipment.
The EC2000 stands out through its combination of competitive pricing, extensive communication ports, and 65,536-colour support. Displays with 800x480 pixel resolution provide clear rendering of process diagrams, trend charts, and alarm messages even under bright industrial lighting conditions.

EC2000 Panel Models in Catalogue
| Model | Diagonal | Interface | Protocol | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EC207CT00 | 7" | RS232; RS422; RS485 | Modbus | Base 7-inch model |
| EC207CT11 | 7" | RS232; RS422; RS485; Ethernet | Modbus; TCP/IP | 7-inch with Ethernet |
| EC210CT00 | 10.2" | RS232; RS422; RS485 | Modbus | Base 10.2-inch model |
| EC210CT11 | 10.2" | RS232; RS422; RS485; Ethernet | Modbus; TCP/IP | 10.2-inch with Ethernet |
Models with the CT11 suffix additionally feature an Ethernet port for connecting to TCP/IP industrial networks. This enables remote equipment monitoring and integration into SCADA systems without additional gateways.
Application Areas
EC2000 operator panels are widely used across various industrial automation sectors:
- Conveyor systems -- speed visualisation, sensor status, and alarm monitoring
- Pump stations -- pressure, flow rate, and VFD operating mode control
- Ventilation equipment -- temperature, humidity, and schedule monitoring
- Packaging lines -- recipe management and production counters
- Compressor units -- pressure and oil temperature parameter display
Modbus RTU protocol support ensures compatibility with Kinco panels, controllers, and variable frequency drives from most manufacturers.
