New Touch Panel Computers Accelerate Information Delivery

Modern, complex SCADA and process control systems require clear real time displays allowing decisive operator interaction for efficient process automation and monitoring. HMI computers need to have optimum graphics and processing power to analyse and deliver information effectively, in real time. They need to be sufficiently powerful and responsive to operator inputs, generating control demands and updating screen displays.



Machine Automation HMIs have similar requirements, but relating to individual machines rather than whole processes. These additionally need to withstand environmental conditions created by the machinery, including shock, vibration, dust and heat.

Highly responsive graphics and data processing



Powerful 3rd generation Intel Core i processors, with exceptional graphics performance delivering highly responsive processing and HMI displays.



Configurable operation from 5 front panel function keys



Featuring 5 easy access, front panel function keys for direct control that can be configured to meet the needs of individual applications.



Designed for wet and dusty environments with IP65 sealed front panel



The sealed front panel prevents dust and liquid ingress, while providing full functionality of the touch screen display.



Perfect for Machine Automation requiring wide temperature range and shock & vibration protection



Designed for the factory environment, capable of operating from -10oC to 50oC, and withstanding shock and vibration ensures reliable operation, even when mounted on motorised machinery.



I/O configurations with multi-slot expansion



Modular expansion for up to 2 data acquisition and I/O cards provides significant flexibility in configuring automation and monitoring applications.



This new range of Touch Panel Computers comprises three models with 12”, 15” and 17” touch screen displays, designated TPC121, TPC150 and TPC170, respectively. Each is available with a choice of four processors: Intel Celeron, Core i3/i5 or i7, and Windows 7/8 or Linux operating systems. Incorporating multiple communications ports including Dual GB LAN, RS232 Port and multiple USB ports.
