7-Inch CAN Bus Display Series
SonnePower 7-inch CAN bus HMI displays are programmable operator interfaces designed for mobile machinery control systems. The A, E, B and H Series combine CODESYS 3.5 programming, IP65 protection, CAN communication, configurable local I/O and multiple display configurations.
Compare the available series according to CAN channel quantity, I/O capacity, CVBS or AHD camera inputs, 800 × 480 or 1024 × 600 resolution, brightness, startup time and 4G connectivity.

How to Choose a 7-Inch CAN Bus Display
Select a series according to the required CAN channels, local I/O, camera interface, resolution, startup time, and cellular connectivity.
A Series
Choose the A Series for systems requiring 2 CAN interfaces, CVBS video inputs, programmable buttons, and optional 4G connectivity.
E Series
Choose the E Series when the project requires 1024 × 600 resolution, Analog AHD camera inputs, and startup within 5 seconds, but does not require 4G.
B Series
Choose the B Series for control systems requiring 5 CAN interfaces, more configurable local I/O, CVBS video inputs, and 4G connectivity.
H Series
Choose the H Series when the system needs 1024 × 600 resolution, Analog AHD camera inputs, 5 CAN interfaces, expanded local I/O, fast startup, and 4G connectivity.

Contact UsFrequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about selecting a 7-inch CAN bus display.
What is the difference between the A, E, B and H Series?
The A and E Series provide fewer CAN and local I/O resources, while the B and H Series are designed for systems requiring more CAN interfaces and configurable I/O. The E and H Series also provide higher resolution, Analog AHD camera inputs and faster startup.
Which series provide 1024 × 600 resolution?
The E Series and H Series provide 1024 × 600 resolution. The A Series and B Series use 800 × 480 resolution.
Which series support Analog AHD camera inputs?
The E Series provides two Analog AHD inputs, while the H Series provides four. The A and B Series use CVBS video inputs instead.
Which series should I choose for more CAN interfaces and local I/O?
The B and H Series are the better options when the system requires additional communication and control resources. Both provide five CAN interfaces and more configurable local I/O than the A and E Series.
Which 7-inch display series support 4G?
The A, B and H Series offer 4G connectivity. The E Series does not include 4G.
How can I confirm the correct display configuration?
Send us your required CAN channels, I/O resources, camera interface, resolution, brightness, startup time and connectivity requirements. We will help you identify the appropriate series and configuration.
