nVent Hoffman SYSPEND Sanitary Pendant Arm System
Hoffman’s SYSPEND sanitary HMI system is an enclosure and suspension system designed to protect, enclose and suspend lightweight HMI devices. The modular system specifically meets the demanding needs of sanitary environments, particularly the food and beverage manufacturing industry.
nVent Hoffman SYSPEND VHDS-MOTION arm is a heavy-duty, 304 stainless steel, vertical motion pendant arm. It provides corrosion-resistance and suspends control and process equipment for easy cleaning. The field-adjustable gas spring counterbalance allows users to adjust the lifting force by turning an adjustment mechanism under the arm. The 26-inch arm supports loads of 45-125 pounds with 13-inch vertical height adjustment and the 36-inch arm supports loads of 25-75 pounds with 20-inch vertical height adjustment. The VHDS-MOTION arm is recommended for use with Hoffman HMI enclosures using a 60 x 60 mm enclosure mounting pattern. Not for use with CS480 enclosures.

nVent Hoffman stainless steel SYSPEND sanitary enclosure is made of 18 gauge Type 304 stainless steel and is designed to house process control equipment in sanitary wash down environments. The enclosure meets Type 4X and IP69K requirements for high-temperature, high-pressure wash down applications. The 20 degree sloped top allows for runoff of water and cleaning solutions and the integrated side handles allow for easy repositioning of the enclosure. The enclosure can be mounted on a pendant or pedestal and a suspension arm adaptor is included.
nVent Hoffman SYSPEND aluminum HMI enclosure is designed to accommodate touch-screen HMI devices. The single-walled aluminum reduces the overall weight of the enclosure and provides increased heat dissipation. The enclosure can be mounted on a pendant or pedestal and the integrated side handles allow for easy repositioning.
HMI vs OIT, What's the Difference?
Human Machine Interface (HMI) is a software interface that allows operators to interact with various pieces of electrical hardware and controls systems. HMI typically utilizes monitors or screens to display information, which are referred to as HMI screens. The screens are not the actual HMI, but are a tool used to display HMI software. For example, electrical enclosures often have screens mounted on the outside of them to provide users with information about ongoing process and to allow users to make changes to the system.
Operator Interface Terminal (OIT) typically displays basic information about the electrical hardware that it is attached to. It provides only local information about the environment it is interfacing with and allows control and monitoring for that one piece of hardware, not an entire system.
