General Information
This chapter includes general information about the TPC-2012 Human
Machine Interface (HMI).
Introduction
The TPC-2012 touch panel computer, a state-of-the-art HMI based on an
x86 platform, includes these key features:
• Fanless—Because the system uses a low-power processor, it does not
need fans, which often are unreliable and cause dust to circulate inside
the equipment.
• Bright display—The TFT LCD features a 12.1 in. display that meets
industrial demands for clear interfaces.
• Powerful communication capability—The TPC-2012 is a powerful
I/O interface for easy communication with other devices. The I/O
interface includes serial ports, a parallel port, and Ethernet and
USB 1.1 support. The TPC-2012 also supports the PCI/104 expansion
slot, making it easy to expand with PCI/104 modules.
• Windows CE support—In addition to Windows XP support, the
TPC-2012 supports the Windows CE and Windows XP embedded
platforms. An optional Windows CE operating system specifically for
the TPC-2012 is available for Windows CE application programmers.
