Touch panel computers

16 March 2011 Computer/Embedded Technology

National Instruments has announced a line of touch panel computers with an extended operating temperature range based on the 1,33 GHz Intel Atom processor.

With Atom processors, engineers can build high-performance human machine interfaces (HMIs) with a low-power, fanless device. The NI TPC-2206 and TPC-2212 feature a -20°C to 60°C operating temperature range for harsh industrial applications, 4 GB solid state drives for reliable operation in extended vibration environments and Windows Embedded OS for long-term deployment and support. They also offer 1 GB of RAM, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and LED backlight technology to maintain screen brightness across the range of temperatures.

The units work with a variety of hardware including NI CompactRIO, PXI, NI Smart Cameras, NI Embedded Vision Systems and other third-party industrial devices. Engineers can develop advanced and intuitive HMI applications with the LabVIEW graphical development environment, which they use to communicate with their hardware through standard communication methods such as TCP, OPC, USB, Modbus, Ethernet/IP and many more. LabVIEW provides easy network deployment, prebuilt template applications and navigation controls for building complex multi-screen interfaces. Engineers also gain programmatic control of advanced OS features such as enhanced write filters and Hibernate Once/Resume Many (HORM).
