IC752CTD400, IC752CTD450

Welcome to GE Fanuc’s CIMPLICITY Display Station products. These products provide an
integrated hardware and software platform for running CIMPLICITY HMI applications. The Touch
Display incorporates CIMPLICITY HMI software for Windows and either Microsoft Windows®
95 or Microsoft Windows NT® software (depending on model). The 10.4” active matrix, thin film
transistor (TFT) color displays provide a large viewing area with crisp color and contrast.

The Touch Display incorporates CIMPLICITY HMI software for Windows, and either Microsoft
Windows® 95 or Microsoft Windows NT® software (depending on model). All Display Stations
come preloaded with the full point count version of CIMPLICITY HMI software.

The Touch Display members of the Display Station family feature a fully self contained Pentium
computer with a built-in 640 x 480 pixel flat screen display and touch-screen surround, housed in an
industrial enclosure, and weighing less than 11kg (25 lbs). The 3.5 inch disk drive adds 1kg (2.2lbs)
to the weight.

The complete unit is housed within a compact, rugged metal enclosure. The unit is supplied
completely assembled and requires only mounting and connecting. Only one panel cut-out is
required to mount the unit. The use of special clips that secure the unit to the panel eliminates the
need for mounting holes.

Display and Touch Screen

The Touch Display features a color liquid crystal display (LCD) with a touch screen surround. The
touch-screen surround, which is an integral part of the front panel on all Touch Display Flat Screen
models, makes operation of a configured system more intuitive by allowing the operator to interface
with the system by simply touching the screen.

The performance of the Touch Display unit is not affected by bright sunlight. The system can also
differentiate between a true touch operation and a beam failure, allowing the system to continue
operation under adverse conditions.

Floppy Disk Drive Unit

A floppy disk drive (IC752FPY000), interface cable and connector are included with the Touch
Display unit. The disk drive unit is housed in a metal case that can be attached to the rear panel of
the Touch Display enclosure.

Using the disk drive that is provided with the Touch Display unit will ensure
compatibility. The use of other types of drives and controllers, which may not be
compatible with the Touch Display, is not recommended.

Note

Hardware Installation

This section describes procedures for mounting the Touch Display unit, and installing ISA­compatible cards and the floppy disk drive unit.

A single cut-out is required in the mounting panel. No extra holes are required. Instead, ten spring­loaded retaining clips are supplied to secure the unit from behind the panel.

The Touch Display unit with processor card weighs 11kg (25lbs) approx. The

3.5-inch disk drive adds 1kg (2.2lbs) to the weight when installed.

Mounting Guidelines

When selecting a location for the Touch Display unit, make sure that there will be enough space for
access to the connectors, located on the right side of the unit. For unit dimensions, refer to Figure 1.
The mounting location for the Touch Display unit should meet the following requirements:

•

The panel into which the unit is mounted should provide protection from dust, dirt and water in
an industrial environment.

•

The panel should be capable of supporting the weight of the Touch Display unit without
distortion.

Note

•

Maximum panel thickness is 10mm (0.39 inch).

•

Allowance should be made for air flow. A fan draws in air through a filter mounted on the side
of the unit. Warm air is expelled through slots in the opposite side panel (refer to Figure 1).

Note

All ten mounting clips must be installed to achieve a good seal between the
Touch Display unit and the mounting panel.

Installing ISA-Compatible Cards

The Touch Display rear panel must be removed in order to gain access to the ISA bus cards. There
are six screws securing the rear panel. When these are removed, the rear panel can be lifted away
from the main unit.

Switch off the unit and disconnect the main power input before removing the
rear panel.

Blanking Plates

Blanking plates are installed on each unused card position. Remove blanking plates as necessary to
install new cards. Empty slots must always have a blanking plate installed, otherwise the air flow
through the unit will be affected.

Card Clamp

A card clamp bracket, which can accommodate the two standard heights of ISA bus cards, is fixed
inside the rear panel. The card clamp bracket has nylon card-securing blocks fitted above each
vacant card position. When installing a full height card in one of these positions, remove the long
block from the appropriate position on the bracket and replace with a short block.

Full height cards — 114mm (4.5 inches) approx. — are secured by short nylon blocks
Low height cards — 100mm (3.9 inches) approx. — are secured by long nylon blocks

I/O Address and IRQ Allocation

For most applications an IRQ cannot be shared by more than one resource.
If more than one resource is set to the same interrupt, the application may
not respond properly and could cause your machine to lock up.

The I/O address and IRQ number of cards being installed must not conflict with those of cards
already installed. Refer to "Interrupt and I/O Assignments" on page 25 for a list of factory-set IRQs.
We strongly recommend that you use only the interrupts that are marked available and use them as
suggested.

Reserved I/O Address

The Touch Display backplane has an 8-bit I/O mapped register intended for future use. This register
is at either 300 hexadecimal or 360 hexadecimal, and is configured by a jumper (link) which is
labeled LK12 or LK15. Its position is the same in either case, and is shown in Figure 5.

LK12 (LK15) IN 300 hexadecimal (factory default)
LK12 (LK15) OUT 360 hexadecimal

Caution

Any hardware adapters installed should not conflict with the above configured address.

Touch Screen Port Address

The Touch Display touch-screen is internally connected as a custom COM port. The I/O addressing
and IRQ setting for the port are configured by jumpers and are factory set to I/O address 310
hexadecimal, IRQ5. Changes should not be made to this port unless a hardware adapter that
interferes with the factory-set addressing for COM4 is being installed. (Refer to Tables 6 and 7 on
page 25.)

Note

Windows based software has been installed to work with the touch-screen via the
touch screen driver s of tware (T5driver for Windows 95, TNdriver for
Windows NT). Check that the COM port parameters given to the driver match the
hardware link sett ings fo r the CUSTOM COM port.

The locations of the jumpers L K2 to LK14 (LK15) are shown in Fig u re 5.

Installing Application Software

The Windows operating system and CIMPLICITY HMI software is loaded onto the Touch Display
unit at manufacture. If it is necessary to reload software, follow the instructions in the
documentation supplied with the software. The following sections give tips for customizing the
software for the Touch Display platform.

External CD-ROM Drive

A driver, BP32DRV, is factory-installed to allow the Micro Solutions Backpack ™ External CD­ROM Drive to be used for loading software. To enable this driver on units with Windows NT,
select Devices under Control Panel, select BP32DRV, and change Startup setting to System. Close
the Control Panel, shut down, and connect the drive to the parallel port. Restart the system and open
Windows NT Explorer. The CD-ROM should appear as D:. When finished, the driver can be set to
Disabled again. For units using Windows 95, simply shut down, connect the drive, and restart.

Touch Screen Driver for Windows

Operation of the touch screen surround requires the software driver T5driver for Windows 95 .or
TNdriver for Windows NT.

The integral touch-surround of the Touch Display unit is internally connected to the serial port on
the backplane. Parameters must be given to the software driver to match the hardware settings (refer
to Touch-screen Port Address, page 8). The factory default settings are:

COM Port = CUSTOM
Address = 310 hexadecimal
Interrupt = 5

These parameters are written into the Windows SYSTEM.INI file by the touch screen software
driver setup utility. T5driver or TNdriver will be installed, configured and calibrated at
manufacture.

Note

When the above parameters are entered u sin g TNSetup, a message is given that a
line should be added to AUTOEXEC.BAT, such as :

C:\WINDOWS\TBBIOS 3 310

This message can be ignored.

22 CIMPLICITY® Display Station Touch Display: IC752CTD400/450 – March 1998 GFK-1425B

Shutting Down the Computer

To avoid damaging files, always shut down Windows software before
removing power from your Display Station product.

To shut down Windows 95 or Windows NT software, select Shut Down from the Start menu.

System Operation

External Mouse

The touch screen and PS/2 mouse will work simultaneously if the mouse is 100% Microsoft or IBM
PS/2 compatible. Because Windows can load only one mouse driver at a time, it is not possible to
provide simultaneous support for a mouse that requires its own specific Windows driver.

Interrupt Requests and I/O Assignments

Caution

Each hardware resource in the system must be assigned a unique interrupt
request (IRQ) number and an I/O address range. If these settings overlap,
the system will not function properly.

Below is a list of the factory-set IRQs and addresses used in the system, and whether they are
available for add-in cards. Problems can be avoided if add-on devices use the IRQs and address
ranges labeled "Available". If necessary, the touch screen and network card settings can be changed
to accommodate new hardware that will only work at the settings used by these devices. The
directions for changing the touch screen settings are provided in this document. Utilities for
changing network card settings are in the C:NWCARD directory.

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

This section consists of “Self-Test Diagnostics,” “Troubleshooting,” and “Corrective Actions.”
“Self-Test Diagnostics,” describes how to respond to errors that could be detected by the automatic
self test that is performed each time the Display Station powers up. “Troubleshooting” contains
tables of symptoms, their possible causes, and recommended corrective actions. “Corrective
Actions” contains detailed procedures that are too lengthy to include in the Troubleshooting tables.

Self-Test Diagnostics

The computer automatically performs self-test diagnostics each time it is powered up. The self-test
consists of a series of checks that verify correct performance of the computer hardware. When the
self-test is being performed, you will see the message XXXX KB OK displayed on the screen,
where XXXX is a number that increases until it matches the amount of usable memory.

System Test and Initialization

These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests,
you will see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal. If a
non-fatal error occurs, the system can usually continue the boot up sequence. Non-fatal error
messages usually appear on the screen with the following instruction:

Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup sequence.

System Configuration Verification

These routines check the current system configuration against the values stored in the CMOS
memory. If they don’t match, the program will generate an error message. To correct this condition,
you will need to run the BIOS setup program and correct the configuration information in memory.
(Refer to page 24.)

There are three situations in which you might need to change the CMOS settings:

.

You are starting your system for the first time.

1

You have changed the hardware attached to your system.

2

.

The CMOS memory had lost power and the configuration information has been erased. If this

CIMPLICITY so that you only need to turn on the machine to have CIMPLICITY come up and be
ready for use.

I heard that there is now a longer period that the software will run without authorization. What are
the details?

You should go ahead and register your CIMPLICITY software. The period of four days starts when
CIMPLICITY is first loaded. Your system will default to the two-hour limit because the four days
will have expired.
