This guide includes setup instructions and specifications for the TPC-22xx
Human Machine Interface (HMI).
General Information
Introduction
The TPC-22xx touch panel computer, an HMI based on an x86 platform,
includes these key features:
•Powerful processing—The TPC-22xx uses the Intel Atom processor,
specifically designed for embedded, industrial applications.
•Fanless—By using an advanced but low-power Intel Atom processor,
the TPC-22xx does not require a fan for cooling.
•Robust communication—The TPC-22xx is a powerful I/O interface
for easy communication with other devices. The I/O interface includes
serial ports, gigabit Ethernet, and USB 2.0 support.
I/O Ports
•Wide operating temperature and isolation protection—The
TPC-22xx provides a –20 to 60 °C operating temperature range and
complete isolation protection for the serial ports.
•Windows Embedded support—The TPC-22xx supports the latest
embedded Windows operating systems from Microsoft.
The TPC-22xx includes the following ports:
•Two serial ports: RS232 (COM1) and RS422/485 (COM2)
•Two USB 2.0 ports compliant with USB 1.0 and 1.1
•Two RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports

Disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Use a damp
cloth. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the
equipment and must be easily accessible.
Keep this equipment away from excessive humidity.
Place this equipment on a reliable surface during installation. Dropping it
or letting it fall may cause damage.
The openings on the enclosure are for air convection and protect the
equipment from overheating. Do not cover the openings.
Make sure the power source voltage is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
Position the power cord so that it cannot be stepped on. Do not place
anything over the power cord.
All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power
source to avoid damage by transient overvoltage.

Never pour any liquid into an opening. This may cause fire or electrical
shock.
Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualified service
personnel should open the equipment.
If one of the following situations arises, have service personnel check the
equipment:
•The power cord or plug is damaged.
•Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
•The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
•The equipment does not work well, or you cannot get it to work
according to the user manual.
•The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
•The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
Do not leave this equipment in an environment where the storage
temperature may go below –20 °C (–4 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F). Doing
so could damage the equipment. The equipment should be in a controlled
environment.
Setup
CautionThere is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the
battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard
used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The sound pressure level at the operator’s position according to
IEC 704-1:1982 is no more than 70 dB (A).
CautionThe protection this equipment provides may be impaired if it is used in a manner
not described in this manual.
Follow these steps to set up the TPC-22xx:
1.Unpack the TPC-22xx. Be sure your kit includes the following items:
If any items are missing or damaged, contact National Instruments.
