Industrial Windows CE Touch Panel Computers
harsh environments on the factory floor, in industrial plants, and
for pharmaceuticals.
Remote Display Software
A TPC-2106/T includes remote display software already installed on the
TPC when it is shipped. To view the entire screen and interact through
your PC with the embedded touch panel computer, simply install the free
host program and connect to the hardware. From the Windows CE start
menu, select the Remote Display application and enter the IP address of
the host PC. With the Remote Display function, you can quickly interact
with the embedded touch panel hardware using your PC keyboard,
mouse, and screen.
Open Flexible Platform
A TPC-2106/T features an open, extensible architecture based on
industry standards. Featuring Windows CE and standard communication
buses (RS232/422/485, USB, and Ethernet), a TPC-2106/T can be quickly
and easily configured to address requirements beyond traditional HMI
applications. When combined with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module
graphical development environment and rugged, industrial PACs, a
TPC-2106/T provides a fully integrated solution for machine automation
and other industrial applications.

For embedded machine control systems with CompactRIO, a TPC-2106/T
is ideal as a local operator interface to provide input and feedback to the
CompactRIO machine control unit. A TPC-2106/T functions as the local
HMI for CompactRIO, as shown in Figure 3.

NEMA4 and IP65 Industrial Ratings
NI HMIs feature a NEMA4 and IP65 industrial-rated front panel.
When these systems are panel mounted in a NEMA4 or IP65 industrial
enclosure, they are capable of withstanding the ingress of dust and
water jets. The NEMA4/IP65 rating makes these systems ideal for
Featuring a compact package, solid-state design, and touch panel
interface, a TPC-2106/T is ideally suited for operator interfaces for
embedded control systems with all PACs including Compact FieldPoint.
A TPC-2106/T functions as the local HMI for embedded real-time control
applications with Compact FieldPoint, as shown in Figure 4.
