Description
The KINCO MT5423T-MPI is an 8-inch human-machine interface from the MT5000 series, designed for direct machine-side operation and monitoring. It integrates a 520 MHz RISC processor with multiple communication ports, including a dedicated MPI expansion interface for connecting to Siemens S7-300/400 PLC networks.
This unit provides a cost-effective visualization solution with essential industrial features: an 800×600 TFT display, resistive touch for gloved operation, and IP65-rated front panel protection. While officially discontinued by the manufacturer in 2020, available new surplus stock offers a form-fit-function replacement for existing installations requiring the specific MPI port configuration .
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the KINCO MT5423T-MPI still in production?
A: No. KINCO officially discontinued the entire MT5423T series, including the -MPI variant. Orders stopped in June 2020, with production ceasing in September 2020 . The stock we handle is “New Surplus”—factory-sealed units manufactured before the discontinuation.
Q: Does this unit support hot-swapping?
A: No. You must power down the 24 VDC supply before connecting or disconnecting any communication cables or the power terminal. Hot-swapping serial or MPI connections can blow the line drivers on the main board.
Q: What is the direct replacement for the MT5423T-MPI?
A: According to KINCO’s official discontinuation notice, the MT5423T base model is replaced by the Future series F080E . However, verify with the KINCO compatibility tool or datasheet to ensure the F080E supports the same MPI functionality. The -MPI variant does not have a direct “NO” replacement listed in some tables, meaning the replacement path may require a change in communication protocol or cabling .
