Events and Exhibitions configure and customise widgets to match your needs . You can even configure widgets to control system values like setpoints , all with password protection for added security . Group related widgets together in screen tabs — think ‘ Room 1 ’ and ‘ Room 2 ’— for an organised layout that ’ s as functional as it is clear .
“ Plus , with the eZi-View-SIM1 simulator , you can test your configurations in real time , ensuring your designs are perfect before deployment . The eZi- View family offers a library of resources to help you learn the ropes , and our technical support packages are always available should you need assistance . If you ’ d like to skip the design work altogether , we also offer professional design services to create your screens for you ,” says Potter .
At its heart , eZi-View is all about simplicity and power . The visualisation system uses a register table to connect widgets , which can be easily configured via the edgeUP app . Data flows seamlessly through Modbus , allowing users to read , write and update values with ease , all while maintaining a clean , organised interface that makes monitoring and adjustments a breeze .
The eZi-COM-DSP platform , currently available in 480x320 3.5 ” display ( eZi-COM-DSP-1 ) with more models to follow , provides the flexibility to fit unique application . Future models support even more display options and are adding a temperature sensor to the eZi-COM-DSP-1 in 2025 , with a panelmount option coming soon .
Key features at a glance :
• Customisable widgets : Visualise data in a way that makes sense with a variety of graphical elements
• Touch control : Set values like setpoints directly through touch-enabled widgets , with password protection for security
• Zero tech skill configuration : Build screen layouts with ease using edgeUP — no graphic design skills required
• Free tools : Get started quickly with the eZi-View-SIM1 simulator and the edgeUP configuration tool

TCL ’ S INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES ON DISPLAY At FRIGAIR 2925 , TCL South Africa is launching and / or profiling its :
• R32 Midwall range
• Free Match R32 range
• VRV
Anthony Paul , TCL AC Sales Manager , shares , " TCL ' s air conditioning products are crafted to adapt to the industry ' s evolving needs , emphasising energy efficiency , sustainability and smart technology integration ."
TCL ’ s air conditioning solutions incorporate advanced technologies to align with industry trends , tackling challenges like energy efficiency , sustainability and the integration of smart systems . With advanced inverter technology , many models can save up to 50 % more energy than non-inverter systems by adjusting compressor speed to maintain a consistent temperature . Several models also hold Energy Star certification , meeting international energy efficiency standards and reducing operational costs and carbon footprints .
Sustainability is a core focus for TCL , as seen in their use of eco-friendly refrigerants like R32 and R410a , which have a lower global warming potential , and recyclable materials in both the design and packaging of their units . Features such as Eco mode further optimise energy consumption while ensuring comfort .
TCL also integrates smart technology , offering smart home compatibility with systems like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for easy control via voice or smartphone . The AI-powered climate control adjusts settings based on user preferences and external conditions , while IoT connectivity via the TCL Home app provides remote monitoring and scheduling , ensuring convenience and energy savings .
For health and comfort , TCL air conditioners include multi-stage air filtration to remove dust , allergens and bacteria , and ioniser technology that purifies the air . 4D airflow ensures even temperature distribution , eliminating hot or cold spots .
Built for durability and adaptability , TCL ’ s units operate efficiently under unstable power conditions with wide voltage operation and are optimised for tropical climates , making them ideal for regions like South Africa .
