[0016] See Figure 1-3 An integrated control panel specifically designed for the plastics machinery industry includes an aluminum control panel 1, a touch screen 2, an LCD screen 3, and a back cover 4. The touch screen 2 is attached to the aluminum control panel 1, and the back cover 4 is fixed to the back of the aluminum control panel 1. The LCD screen 3 is positioned between the aluminum control panel 1 and the back cover 4. An interface board 5 is also located on the back of the aluminum control panel 1, on which an EtherCAT control board 6 and an LCD display driver board 7 are respectively mounted. A button board 8 is located on the front of the aluminum control panel 1, and the button board 8 is electrically connected to the EtherCAT control board 6 via a signal connection cable 9. Specifically, the DVI and other display interfaces on the LCD display driver board can be connected to the video port of a soft PLC controller via a video cable to transmit interface display signals. The EtherCAT port on the EtherCAT control board serves as the EtherCAT signal transmission port for the button section. The EtherCAT In port connects to the EtherCAT port of the PLC controller, and the EtherCAT Out port connects to other EtherCAT slave stations of the plastics machinery control system.
