Micro Innovation MS2-440-57MPI-1-10 Touch Panel 24V

MICRO INNOVATION MS2-440-57MPI-1-10 Industrial HMI Touch Panel (Eaton Moeller 24V DC)

The MICRO INNOVATION MS2-440-57MPI-1-10 (cross-referenced under Eaton Moeller catalog series XVS-440-57MPI-1-10 / 139968) is a heavy-duty 5.7-inch industrial human-machine interface designed for mission-critical supervisory control and monitoring. Originally engineered by Swiss automation pioneer Micro Innovation AG (later integrated into Eaton’s Moeller series), this operator terminal is a standard fixture across marine engine control consoles, offshore drilling skids, ballast management stations, and demanding manufacturing plants.

The MS2-440-57MPI-1-10 withstands intense vibration, mechanical shock, and marine-grade electromagnetic interference. Featuring an integrated high-speed 400 MHz processor, native MPI/PROFIBUS-DP, RS-232, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, and optional CoDeSys-based soft-PLC runtime, this terminal provides real-time fieldbus deterministic response directly to shipboard PLCs and distributed I/O islands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Micro Innovation MS2-440-57MPI-1-10 identical to the Eaton Moeller XVS-440-57MPI-1-10?

Yes. Micro Innovation was the original engineering design and manufacturing entity for Moeller Electric’s HMI division prior to Moeller’s acquisition by Eaton. The model designation MS2-440-57MPI-1-10 and Eaton part number 139968 (XVS-440-57MPI-1-10) represent identical internal electronics, pinouts, display hardware, and mounting geometry. They can be swapped interchangeably without altering cabinet cutouts or wiring harness configurations.

What is the difference between the 430 and 440 series panels?

The difference is the touch-sensing mechanism. The XVS-430 series utilizes standard analog resistive foil touch technology, whereas the XVS-440 series utilizes an infrared optical matrix behind scratch-proof laminated safety glass. The 440 infrared version offers greater optical clarity and extended physical durability in harsh marine and industrial environments.

Can this unit run PLC code directly without an external controller?

Yes, provided the soft-PLC runtime license (Eaton article 140389, LIC-PLC-MXP-SMALL) is activated. This turns the unit into an integrated HMI-PLC, capable of executing IEC 61131-3 logic programmed through MXpro or CoDeSys while simultaneously managing the graphic interface.

How do I backup or transfer project files from a damaged panel to this replacement?

Project files and Windows CE operating system runtime files are housed on the removable CompactFlash card located behind the rear access door. In most retrofit operations, powering down the faulty unit, pulling the existing CompactFlash card, and inserting it into the replacement panel restores the equipment without requiring reprogramming software.

What power supply ratings are mandatory for shipboard installations?

The unit requires a 24V DC SELV source with a permissible operating window of 20.4 to 28.8 V DC. It is rated for a nominal current of 0.8A with a maximum peak consumption of 19W during backlight startup and full fieldbus operation. Ensure the DC power lines are filtered to survive short dips up to 20 ms.
