Autonics AiCH series HMIs are industrial touchscreen operator panels from Autonics Corporation (South Korea) — the same brand supplying temperature controllers, rotary encoders, sensors, and counters across Malaysian automation panels. The AiCH series extends Autonics’ presence into the operator display tier, offering 7″ and 10″ TFT panels with Ethernet, RS-485, and RS-232C communication, and a multi-brand PLC driver library that covers Autonics, Mitsubishi, Omron, Siemens, and Modbus RTU devices. Flextech Industrial stocks genuine Autonics HMI panels in Malaysia for fast quotation from our Puchong, Selangor warehouse.

Autonics AiCH HMI Series
The Autonics AiCH series (AI-based Compact HMI) is the current generation of Autonics touch panels — designed for intuitive screen setup in AiCH Studio programming software and direct integration with the Autonics temperature controller and sensor ecosystem.
AiCH-070T — 7" Touch Panel
The AiCH-070T is Autonics' 7" industrial HMI — TFT colour display (800×480), resistive touchscreen, RS-232C, RS-485, and Ethernet communication ports, USB host for data logging, and 24 VDC power supply.
Key features:
- Screen: 7" TFT, 800×480, 65K colours
- Communication: COM1 (RS-232C or RS-485), COM2 (RS-485), Ethernet 100 Mbps, USB host
- Programming: AiCH Studio (Windows, free download)
- Data logging: USB flash drive, CSV format
- IP rating: IP65 front panel
- Autonics native driver: direct access to Autonics TK4N/TZN4S temperature controller registers over Modbus RTU without third-party protocol conversion
Pricing: AiCH-070T approximately RM 800 – RM 2,000 in Malaysia.
AiCH-100T — 10" Touch Panel
The AiCH-100T scales to 10" (1024×600 resolution) for larger process display requirements — particularly suited to panels where multiple Autonics temperature zones need to be displayed simultaneously on one screen.
Pricing: AiCH-100T approximately RM 1,800 – RM 4,000 in Malaysia.
Autonics HMI and Autonics Temperature Controllers — Native Integration
The AiCH series' primary advantage in Malaysian automation panels is its native integration with Autonics' broader product ecosystem. In a typical Malaysian rubber or F&B factory temperature control panel:
Autonics Panel Architecture:
- Mitsubishi FX5U or Omron CJ2M PLC → machine sequencing
- Autonics TK4N (×20–50 zones) → temperature PID control
- Autonics AiCH-100T HMI → displays all temperature zones on one screen
The AiCH HMI reads all Autonics TK4N setpoints and process values via RS-485 Modbus RTU — one bus, one address per TK4N unit (1–247 addresses), standard polling cycle. The screen displays 20+ zone temperatures simultaneously with setpoint adjustment capability — replacing individual TK4N front-panel access for each zone.
This centralised Autonics temperature monitoring screen reduces operator walking distance on large ovens and drying systems — a practical improvement for Malaysian rubber glove factories where dipping lines span 50–100 metres.
Autonics AiCH PLC Driver Compatibility
| PLC / Protocol | AiCH Driver | Port |
| Autonics temperature controllers | Autonics Modbus | RS-485 |
| Mitsubishi MELSEC FX / iQ | MELSEC FX driver | RS-232C / RS-422 |
| Omron SYSMAC CP / CJ | SYSMAC driver | RS-232C / RS-485 |
| Siemens S7-300/400 | S7 MPI driver | RS-485 |
| Modbus RTU (any brand) | Modbus RTU master | RS-485 |
| Modbus TCP | Modbus TCP | Ethernet |
The multi-driver capability allows the AiCH to display data from both a Mitsubishi FX5U PLC (machine status, production count) and a bank of Autonics TK4N temperature controllers (zone temperatures) on the same screen — a common requirement in Malaysian manufacturing panels where PLC and temperature controller are different brands.
Autonics HMI vs. Comparable Options in Malaysia

| IP65 front | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Price (7") | RM 800 – RM 2,000 | RM 600 – RM 1,200 | RM 700 – RM 1,500 |
When to specify Autonics AiCH: In panels where Autonics temperature controllers, sensors, or counters are the primary field devices and the display application centres on Autonics device monitoring — the AiCH's native driver simplifies configuration and provides better data access depth than generic Modbus RTU.
When to specify alternative HMI: For cost-sensitive projects without an Autonics-heavy device list, Xinje TS3 or Delta DOP-107EG provide equivalent display capability at lower price.

Autonics HMI Applications in Malaysian Industry
Rubber and Glove Manufacturing (Selangor, Perak): The combination of Autonics TZN4S temperature controllers (per heating zone) with Autonics AiCH-100T HMI (centralised zone display) is a natural fit for Malaysian rubber dipping and vulcanisation equipment — where the operator monitors 20–60 temperature zones from one fixed panel position rather than walking the oven length.
F&B Oven and Tunnel Dryer Control: Tunnel dryers and proofing ovens in Malaysian F&B plants using Autonics TK4N multi-zone control benefit from the AiCH HMI providing real-time zone temperature display, setpoint adjustment from the panel front, and USB data export for HACCP temperature records.
Electronics and Semiconductor Test (Penang, Selangor): Autonics AiCH panels on test chamber equipment (environmental chambers, burn-in ovens) display temperature controller status and provide operator interface for test sequence start/stop — integrated with test chamber PLCs via Modbus TCP over Ethernet.
NIMP 2030 Smart Factory: Autonics AiCH HMIs with Ethernet connectivity support data export and SCADA integration, contributing to the digital records trail required for Malaysian manufacturers pursuing smart factory certification under NIMP 2030.
