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.
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.

1.Cut out the panel to the dimensions shown. The cut-out dimensions of 367 x 255mm
(14.45 x 10.04 inches) allow a 1.5mm (0.06 inch) clearance on each edge of the Touch Display
unit.

Screw in the tightening screw on each clip so that the nut compresses the spring. To ensure a

good seal between the Touch Display unit and the panel, tighten the clips evenly (tighten each
of the ten clips in turn, a little at a time).
Stop tightening the clips when the springs are fully compressed — at this point the Touch

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
