DAS Company is an authorized ESA Automation distribution partner, stocking and supplying the complete ESA Automation human-machine interface and control portfolio — VT and IT series touchscreen HMI panels (4.3"–15"), all-in-one CNC PAC motion controllers (PLC+HMI+CNC+IT Server), Lumia industrial panel PCs and monitors, Polymath SCADA/HMI programming software and the KREO HMI cloud-based remote access platform — to machine builders, CNC integrators and automation engineers across Europe from our Bulgaria distribution base.
ESA Automation S.p.A. (ESA elettronica), founded in 1975 in Italy, is a multinational industrial automation company with over 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing HMI operator panels, CNC motion controllers, industrial PCs and SCADA software for demanding industrial environments. ESA Automation maintains foreign branches and agents in over 40 countries — providing local engineering support and after-sales services across Europe, Asia and the Americas alongside European distribution through partners including DAS Company for the Balkan and Eastern European market. ESA Automation HMI panels are designed with no moving mechanical parts — no fans, no hard disks — using fanless industrial-grade construction that provides exceptional dust and vibration resistance in harsh industrial conditions such as woodworking machine shops, ceramics factories, metalworking facilities and food production environments. All ESA panels carry CE and UL/c-UL certification and are available with ATEX Zone 2/22 (Category 3 G/D) approval for use in areas with dust or gas explosion risk.
The ESA Automation VT series covers compact and standard-size touchscreen operator panels from 4.3" to 10.4" for machine control, process visualisation and data entry applications. The VT Touch range (resistive touchscreen, 4.3" to 7", 480×272 to 800×600 resolution) provides the essential HMI function for machine operators — alarm management, recipe selection, trend display, setpoint entry and machine status visualisation — programmed via Polymath HMI software. The VT series supports direct connection to Siemens S7-300/400 via MPI protocol without an external adapter — using the built-in MPI port to import project variables directly from STEP 7, eliminating the manual HMI tag database creation required when connecting a third-party HMI to an S7 PLC. The double driver function allows two different PLC driver protocols to be used simultaneously without an external adapter — enabling a single VT panel to communicate with two different PLCs (e.g. Siemens MPI + Modbus RTU) from one device. The ESA-Net network function connects up to 32 VT terminals in a multi-panel network for centralised project and firmware distribution without individual device connection.
The ESA Automation IT series (7"–15" widescreen, TFT colour, 65,536 colours, resistive or capacitive multitouch) provides the high-performance operator panel for complex machine visualisation, SCADA-level alarm management, recipe management and data logging applications. The IT104G (4.3", 480×272, 65,536 colours) and IT107W (7", 800×480) to IT115 (15", 1024×768) cover the complete screen size range. The IT series includes an Ethernet port as standard — enabling data export directly to a remote PC via CSV file without additional hardware, automatic logging to a shared network folder, and direct database write operations to SQL servers for production traceability and MES integration. All IT panels support removable media (Compact Flash and SD card) for recipe backup, data log export and firmware update without PC connection — critical for machine commissioning and field maintenance without laptop access.
The ESA Automation CNC motion controller PAC range integrates PLC, HMI, CNC motion control and IT server functions in a single all-in-one hardware platform — replacing four separate devices (PLC controller, HMI panel, CNC controller and PC-based IT server) with one unified system. Available in 4.3" to 15" touchscreen display sizes with remote I/O expansion capability, the ESA CNC PAC covers woodworking machines (routing, cutting, drilling), ceramics (tile and slab processing), metalworking (laser cutting, plasma, press brake), doors and windows (profile machining, drilling) and packaging machine CNC applications. The PAC's parametric macro system enables machine builders to create user-friendly manufacturing programs — parametric macros allow machine operators to program part manufacturing by entering part dimensions and parameters on the touchscreen without writing G-code, making CNC operation accessible to non-specialist operators. DXF2MACRO and DXF2ISO tools convert DXF CAD files directly to CNC macros and ISO G-code — enabling operators to import customer drawings and generate machine programs automatically without CAM software.
The ESA Lumia series provides IP66-rated fanless industrial panel PCs for SCADA workstation, production monitoring and process control applications requiring Windows OS-level computing power in a panel-mount industrial format. The Lumia Vesa IPC (Intel Celeron J6412 or 11th-gen Intel i3/i7, up to 32 GB RAM, up to 1 TB SSD, 4×LAN or 2×LAN+1×CAN) provides an industrial PC platform for SCADA, MES, OPC UA server and machine vision applications requiring high computing performance without desktop PC limitations in dusty and vibrating industrial environments. Full-HD industrial monitors with capacitive multitouch and IP66 front panel complement the Lumia IPC for operator workstation applications. An integrated KVM function enables the Lumia monitor to be remotely extended up to 100 m over a single Ethernet cable — allowing the HMI display and touchscreen to be located at the operator station while the panel PC remains in the control cabinet, separating computing hardware from operator access for security and maintenance convenience.
Polymath is ESA Automation's universal HMI configuration and SCADA software — covering all VT, IT and SC panel families plus PC-based SCADA applications from a single programming environment. Polymath's key productivity feature is direct variable import from PLC databases — importing tag lists from Siemens STEP 7/TIA Portal, Rockwell Studio 5000, Omron CX-Programmer and other major PLC engineering tools — eliminating manual HMI tag entry. Advanced objects library (gauges, bar graphs, alarms, trends, recipes, data logs, user management) and drag-and-drop page building cover the standard SCADA/HMI screen requirements. Polymath supports remote project transfer to installed panels via modem or Ethernet — enabling firmware updates, new recipe uploads and project changes to installed machines without on-site laptop connection.
KREO HMI is ESA Automation's modern web-based HMI and remote access platform — providing browser-accessible operator interfaces without dedicated HMI client software installation on the operator's device. KREO Connect enables remote support and diagnostics via standard web browser — allowing ESA's engineering team or the machine builder's service department to access the machine HMI remotely for fault diagnosis without VPN setup. ESA's recently developed AI layer for KREO HMI introduces artificial intelligence-assisted screen development features — enabling automatic configuration theme generation and software functionality development based on AI concepts, reducing HMI development time for machine builders with large screen libraries. KREO HMI fully complies with 21 CFR Part 11 (FDA electronic records and signatures) and includes audit trails, electronic signature workflows and user access management — making it the ESA solution for pharmaceutical and regulated industry machine HMI applications requiring FDA-approved validated control systems.
