Compliance

Electromagnetic Compatibility Information

This hardware has been tested and found to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements and limits for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) as indicated in the hardware’s Declaration of Conformity (DoC) designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the hardware is operated in the intended electromagnetic environment. In special cases, for example when either highly sensitive or noisy hardware is being used in close proximity, additional mitigation measures may have to be employed to minimize the potential for electromagnetic interference.

While this hardware is compliant with the applicable regulatory EMC requirements, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. To minimize the potential for the hardware to cause interference to radio and television reception or to experience unacceptable performance degradation, install and use this hardware in strict accordance with the instructions in the hardware documentation and the DoC

If this hardware does cause interference with licensed radio communications services or other nearby electronics, which can be determined by turning the hardware off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient the antenna of the receiver (the device suffering interference).

• Relocate the transmitter (the device generating interference) with respect to the receiver.

• Plug the transmitter into a different outlet so that the transmitter and the receiver are on different branch circuits.

Some hardware may require the use of a metal, shielded enclosure (windowless version) to meet the EMC requirements for special EMC environments such as, for marine use or in heavy industrial areas. Refer to the hardware’s user documentation and the DoC

When the hardware is connected to a test object or to test leads, the system may become more sensitive to disturbances or may cause interference in the local electromagnetic environment.

Operation of this hardware in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference. Users are required to correct the interference at their own expense or cease operation of the hardware.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by National Instruments could void the user’s right to operate the hardware under the local regulatory rules.

General Information

This chapter includes general information about the TPC-22xx Human Machine Interface (HMI).

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, including Windows XP Embedded (XPe) and Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7).

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

System Setup

This chapter includes setup information for the TPC-22xx.

Important Safety Information

Before setting up the TPC-22xx, read these safety instructions carefully.

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.

Chapter 2 System Setup

Caution There 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.

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 –30 °C (–22 °F) or above 80 °C (176 °F). Doing so could damage the equipment. The equipment should be in a controlled environment.

Setup

The sound pressure level at the operator’s position according to IEC 704-1:1982 is no more than 70 dB (A).

Caution The protection this equipment provides may be impaired if it is used in a manner

not described in this manual.

Caution Be sure system power is off before plugging in or pulling out the CompactFlash

card.

2. Verify that the CompactFlash card containing Windows Embedded or another operating system is installed in the unit.

3. Connect the power connector to an 18–32 VDC power line. Be sure to connect the positive, negative, and ground lines as shown in Figure 2-1. The power lines can be from either a power adapter or in-house power source.

4. Connect the power connector to the power receptor on the TPC-22xx. The power receptor pin assignment is shown in Figure 2-2.

5. The system turns on immediately after you apply power.

Touchscreen Calibration

The TPC-22xx touchscreen should be correctly calibrated and ready to use when you power on the system. However, if the calibration is not correct or you want to choose custom calibration options, refer to Appendix D,

Touchscreen Configuration.
