Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The TPC-66 series of touch panel computers consist of state-of-the-art HMI (Human Machine Interfaces). The 5.7"/ 5.6" operator interface combined with a RISC-based computing platform offers these key features:

• Bright Display:

The high-brightness LCD display provides a clear interface.

• Fanless:

By using a low power processor, the system does not have to rely on fans, which often are unreliable, and attracts dust.

• Powerful Communication Capability:

The TPC-66 series provides a powerful I/O interface for easy communication with other devices. The I/O interface includes serial ports, RS-485 port, Ethernet and USB.

• Windows CE Support:

Advantech offers platform support for Windows CE. The optional Windows CE operating system specifically for the TPC-66 is available for Windows CE application program builders.

• JVM Support:

TPC-66 is powered by JVM that is compatible with Personal Java 1.2.

1.2Specifications

1.2.1System Kernel

•CPU: Intel XScale PXA 270 (CPU Clock 416 MHz)

•VGA: CPU Built-in

•DRAM: Built-in 64MB SDRAM

•Storage Memory: 64MB onboard NAND Flash

•Ethernet: SMSC9115 10/100Base-T Ethernet controller; IEEE 802.3u protocol compatible

•Watchdog Timer: Intel XScale PXA watchdog timer; 2,5,10,15,30,40 second timeout period option

•CompactFlash: CompactFlash type I/II

1.2.2 I/O Ports

•3 serial ports: two RS-232 (COM1, COM2); one RS-485 (COM4) or one RS-232(COM3)

Note	TPS-66 provides three serial ports. The third one can
	be set as COM3 for RS-232 or COM4 for RS-485.
Note:	It is suggested to use hardware flow control in order
	to avoid data loss.

•1 RJ-45 Ethernet port

•2 USB ports compliant with USB 1.1: one USB Host (Type A) and one USB Client (Type B)

•1 CompactFlash 2.0 type I/II slot

1.2.3 Storage

TPC-66 panel computers provide two methods for storage. One is the onboard 64 MB NAND flash and the other one is a CompactFlash card. The system boot-sequence is:

•If there is no CompactFlash card installed, the system will automatically boot from the onboard NAND Flash.

•CompactFlash card only: the system will boot from CompactFlash card

1.2.4 Safety and Environment

Safety

•FCC Class A, CE and BSMI certified

•The front bezel is compliant with NEMA 4/ IP65

Environment

•Operating Temperature: 0~50° C

•Storage Temperature: -20~70° C

•Humidity: 10~95% @ 40° C relative humidity (non-condensing)

•Vibration:

10~18 Hz @ 1.5mm peak-to-peak displacement 18~500 Hz @ 1G acceleration

1.7 Panel Mounting

There is an adhesive waterproof gasket on the Al-Mg front bezel. Make sure the waterproof gasket is in position before installing a TPC-66 panel computer into the panel opening.

1.Install the panel computer into the panel opening.

2.Find the eight clampers and eight long screws in the accessory pack. Hook these clampers to the holes around the four sides of the bezel. Insert the screws into every clamper and fasten them. These screws will then push the mounting panel and fix the unit. The mounting panel thickness is suggested to be less than 6 mm (0.236 inch).
