Delta DOP-100 S Type Basic HMI Touch Panel 4.3 inch IP65

Delta DOP-100 S Type basic HMI with IP65 front

The Delta DOP-100 S Type is the basic tier of Delta’s DOP-100 touch panel range, intended for general industrial machines that need a simple, easy-to-install operator screen. The listed model is the DOP-103SQ with a 4.3 inch display. Seven Star LLC supplies the DOP-100 S Type in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier in Muscat.

Reading the code DOP-103SQ: DOP-1 marks the platform, 03 the 4.3 inch class, S the basic S Type and Q the 480 x 272 display family. The manufacturer describes the S Type as suitable for harsh environments thanks to its IP65 rating.

DOP-100 S technical specifications

How the DOP-100 S works

A DOP-100 S panel runs the screens designed in Delta’s HMI software and exchanges tags with a PLC, drive or temperature controller over its serial ports. It has no Ethernet port in the specification table, so communication is serial; projects are loaded from the PC through USB. The IPS panel keeps the picture readable when the operator views it from the side, which helps on machines where the panel is mounted off-axis.

Where the DOP-100 S fits and what it replaces

The DOP-100 S Type is the entry step below the DOP-100 W Type. The 4.3 inch DOP-103WQ of the W range shares the cutout size of the DOP-103SQ (118.8 x 92.8 mm), so the two can occupy the same hole in a panel door, but the W model adds Ethernet and an SD slot on larger variants. Choose the DOP-100 S when serial communication and a small screen are enough and cost matters; choose the DOP-100 W when Ethernet is required.

Selecting a DOP-100 S panel

• Confirm the controller can be reached over serial (RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 as supported by the D-Sub port and the driver).
• Check that 480 x 272 pixels is enough for the screen layouts; large pages may need the 7 inch or bigger models of other types.
• Verify the cutout 118.8 x 92.8 mm and depth 37.8 mm in the cabinet or door.
• If the front will see washdown or dust, check that the installation preserves the stated IP65 rating by fitting the gasket and fixings correctly.
• For Ethernet, remote monitoring or SD logging, step up to a DOP-100 W or DOP-100 L model.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance of DOP-100 S panels

Place the panel in a flat, burr-free cutout, seat the gasket evenly and tighten the fixings gradually to keep the front rating. The IP65 statement applies to the front of a correctly installed panel; the rear and connectors still need to be inside a cabinet. Keep ambient conditions within 0 to 50°C.

Commissioning is simple: load the project over USB, set the PLC station number and baud rate, and check each tag. Keep the project file backed up, and hold a spare 4.3 inch panel for machines that cannot run without their operator screen.

Typical applications in Oman and the GCC

Delta lists packaging, textile, woodworking, rubber and plastics machines for the DOP-100 range. In the Gulf region the small S Type is typical for compact OEM machinery, heater and chiller controllers, small pump and dosing skids, and machines built for export into dusty workshops where a sealed front is helpful. For hot sites the panel should sit inside a shaded or ventilated enclosure.

Spares planning is straightforward for this class of panel. Because the DOP-103SQ is a single model with one cutout, a single spare covers every machine that uses it, and a replacement can be fitted in minutes by loading the saved project. Keeping the project file together with the PLC program on the maintenance computer avoids the common problem of a replacement panel arriving without its screens.

DOP-100 S compared with the DOP-100 W entry model

Information to send with a DOP-100 S RFQ

• Exact model code (for example the full DOP-1xx code including size letters), quantity and required delivery.
• Mounting method and cutout available on the machine or panel door.
• Communication needed: PLC brand and protocol, serial standard (RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485) or Ethernet.
• Whether the front must keep IP65 sealing in the application, and the cabinet material and thickness.

Site conditions in Oman for the DOP-100 S

Control cabinets in Gulf plants often run hot, because many sit in outdoor kiosks or in rooms where air conditioning is not always reliable. Before you finalise the DOP-100 S, check the permitted ambient range and any derating stated by the manufacturer against the real temperature inside your panel, and leave the recommended spacing around the device so that heat can escape. Long cable runs between the field and the marshalling cabinet are common on large sites, so confirm the signal types, wiring limits and earthing arrangement early in the design.

It also helps to standardise on a small number of part numbers across a project. Keeping a few spare DOP-100 S units on site in Oman shortens recovery time after a fault, and documenting configuration settings makes replacement faster for the maintenance team.
