Kinco MT5x20 Series Operator Panels
The MT5x20 series by Kinco comprises 28 models of graphic touchscreen HMI operator panels with screen sizes ranging from 5.7 to 15 inches. These mid-range panels feature colour TFT displays (65,536 colours) designed for process visualisation in manufacturing, water treatment, HVAC, and energy management applications. Every model supports Modbus RTU/TCP and TCP/IP protocols, includes RS232, RS422, RS485 and Ethernet interfaces, and is equipped with two USB Host ports and one USB Client port. All panels are programmed using the free Kinco DTools software.
MT5x20 Technical Specifications
All MT5x20 models are built on ARM processors with colour TFT matrices. Standard communication interfaces include RS232, RS422, RS485 and Ethernet. Depending on the variant, additional expansion boards are available:
- CAN — CANopen module for distributed I/O system integration;
- MPI — direct connection to Siemens S7-300/S7-400 controllers without additional adapters;
- DP — Profibus-DP interface for high-speed industrial networks.
Models with screen sizes from 5.7 to 10.4 inches include an audio interface for alarm and event sound notifications.
MT5x20 Model Overview by Display Size
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | Additional Interface |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT5320C | 5.7" | 320x234 | Standard (audio) |
| MT5320T | 5.7" | 320x240 | Standard (audio) |
| MT5420T | 8" | 640x480 | Standard (audio) |
| MT5423T | 8" | 800x600 | Standard (audio) |
| MT5520T | 10.4" | 640x480 | Standard (audio) |
| MT5620T | 12.1" | 800x600 | Standard |

Each base model comes with communication expansion variants: -CAN (CANopen), -MPI (Siemens MPI), -DP (Profibus-DP). For example, MT5423T-MPI is an 8-inch 800x600 panel with an MPI port for direct connection to Siemens S7 controllers.
Application Areas
MT5x20 panels are used across various industrial sectors:
- Manufacturing automation — conveyor, packaging line and CNC machine visualisation;
- Water treatment and pump stations — pressure, level and flow monitoring with trend display on 8-15" screens;
- HVAC systems — ventilation, heating and air conditioning control in commercial buildings;
- Packaging equipment — recipe management and equipment status monitoring;
- Power generation — monitoring of generator, transformer and switchgear parameters.
Compact MT5320 models (5.7") are suitable for mounting in control cabinet doors, while larger MT5720 panels (15") serve as dispatching consoles.
