QTERM-G55 TERMINAL

3.1 Product Description

The QTERM-G55 is a rugged, handheld or panel-mount Ethernet-enabled graphic terminal with object-based programming. It features a robust list of industrial grade hardware features and options.

The QTERM-G55 features a QVGA, 320x240 pixel, LCD transflective FSTN, grayscale (16 shades) display or optional active-matrix TFT (256 colors) display. Both displays use a light emitting diode (LED) backlight. The LED provides reasonable contrast at low power consumption and easy readability . The FSTN contrast is softw are-controlled and compensated for temperature. The transflective display provides excellent contrast in sunlight and high ambient light environments.

The QTERM-G55 comes equipped with one serial port using an EIA-232, EIA-422, or EIA-485 interface. A second serial port or an Ethernet or Power-over-Ethernet port are available as options. Units with the emergency stop (E-stop) option may be equipped with a single serial port, Ethernet or Power-over-Ethernet.

User input occurs through a rugged 24-key or 40-key membrane keypad with steel snap domes. The top row of keys are commonly used as soft keys to navigate through a set of changing menus at the bottom of the display. The standard keypad comes with four or five LEDs under the soft keys that can be used as status or alarm indicators. Power and shift buttons with LEDs are included on both keypad configurations. The power button puts the terminal into a sleep mode for low power consumption and provides instant-on function with no loss of program state.

The 40-key keypad allows for function / softkeys, eight-way directional control and numeric entry in the unshifted mode and alphanumeric data entry in the shifted mode. Keys can perform alternate functions when the shift key is enabled. Both the power and shift functions can be enabled or disabled in software.

The keypad legend can be customized with your logo/name and custom keys.

The QTERM-G55 terminal stores the firmware and the user application in a compressed format in flash memory and then transfers them to RAM memory when the terminal is powered on. The terminal is equipped with two megabytes of flash memory and sixteen megabytes of RAM memory.

The QTERM-G55 terminal includes a switching power supply with a wide input voltage range of 8 to 32 VDC. Typically, power is supplied thro ug h th e 1 2-pin circular con nect or or i ntegral cable (handheld) or the primary serial port (panel-mount). If the Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) option is selected, power is supplied through the Ethernet cable and your PoE-compliant hub.

The multiprotocol port 485 interface supports software-selectable AC terminations and a fail-safe network, which holds the 485 signal lines in a known state when no transceiver is transmitting. The G58 also integrates an internal lithium-polymer battery pack for portable operation. The G58 may optionally include an

802.11b/g wireless Ethernet interface.

User input occurs through the touch screen and a rugged 24-key or 40-key membrane keypad with steel snap domes. The top row of keys are commonly used as soft keys to navigate through a set of changing menus at the bottom of the display . The standard ke ypad comes with four or fiv e LEDs under the soft k e ys that can be used as status or alarm indi cators. Power and shift buttons with LEDs are included on both keyp ad configurations . The power b utton enables and disables the internal power supply for low power consumption (and extended battery life). The terminal may optionally include a software-enabled electroluminescent keypad backlight.

The standard 40-key keypad legend allows for function / soft keys, eight-way directional control and numeric entry in the unshifted mode and alphanumeric data entry in the shifted mode. Keys can perform alternate functions when the shift key is enabled. Both the power and shift functions can be enabled or disabled in software.

The keypad legend can be customized with your logo/name and custom keys.

The QTERM-G58 terminal stores the firmware and the user application in a compressed format in flash memory and then transfers them to RAM memory when the terminal is powered on. The G58 is equipped with 4 MB of NOR flash memory (for firmware and application), 32 MB of RAM memory, and 256 MB of internal NAND flash memory for mass storage. The NAND memory is accessible as a FA T-formatted file system both from the application and via the USB device interface (although not simultaneously).
