Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The TPC-1261H touch panel computer is a state-of-the-art HMI (Human Machine Interface). This operator interface with a 12.1” display is an
x86-based platform with these key features:
•Fanless
By using a low-power processor, the system does not have to rely on fans, which often are unreliable and causes dust to circulate inside the equipment.
•Bright Display
The TFT LCD display suits industrial demands for clear interfaces.
•Powerful Communication Capability
TPC-1261H provides a powerful I/O interface for easily communicat- ing with other devices. The I/O interface includes serial ports, a paral- lel port, Ethernet and USB 1.1 support. TPC-1261H also supports the expansion slot PCI/104. This makes it easy to expand with the required PCI/104 modules.
•Windows CE Support
In addition to the OS support of Windows XP, Advantech offers plat- form support for Windows CE and Windows XP embedded. The optional Windows CE operating system specifically for the TPC- 1261H is available for Windows CE application program builders.
