Overview
Software Configuration Utilities
The National Instruments TPC-2012 touch panel computer features a 12.1 in.
high-quality SVGA LCD touch screen with 800 x 600 resolution. The
NI TPC-2012 offers a 500 MHz AMD GX3 processor and 256 MB DDR
SDRAM, providing a powerful processor for human machine interface
(HMI) graphics and shared variable communication. The system comes
with Windows CE installed on a 128 MB CompactFlash storage card.
The built-in 10/100 Ethernet port offers TCP/IP and Modbus TCP/IP
communication using NI LabVIEW shared variables, TCP/IP VIs, or the
Modbus LabVIEW library. The two USB ports provide connectivity for
external memory, keyboard, and mouse.
The TPC-2012 runs the Windows CE.NET OS and comes with configuration
and remote access utilities installed. These utilities include an IP address
configurator, configuration for FTP and other utilities over a Web server,
and Remote Display, which works in conjunction with the Windows CE
Remote Display Host application, so you can remotely control the TPC-2012
from a host PC STE.

LabVIEW for HMI Development
The TPC-2012 works with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module and
includes one Touch Panel Deployment license. LabVIEW offers an
integrated graphical development environment for creating embedded
programs for real-time hardware using the LabVIEW Real-Time
Module. Or you can download code directly to FPGAs using the
LabVIEW FPGA Module and then easily add an on-machine or local HMI
with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module and a Windows CE touch panel
computer. You can easily add Windows CE targets such as the TPC-2012
and
TPC-2006 to a LabVIEW Project, create host-shared variables on any
LabVIEW Real-Time target, and drag them from the LabVIEW Project
to the HMI application.

Typical System Configurations
Communication Options with LabVIEW
With the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, you have several options for
communication between the TPC-2012 STE and NI programmable
automation controllers (PACs) and third-party PLCs including:
• Shared variables over Ethernet
• Native LabVIEW TCP/IP, serial, SMTP, or UDP
• Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus ASCII over Ethernet or serial
With this wide range of communication options, you can select the best
method for your application. The LabVIEW shared variable offers the
easiest solution for communication over Ethernet and shortens
development time so you can build a quick and powerful user interface.
For more advanced programming requirements, use the native LabVIEW
TCP/IP or UDP VIs to develop more refined Ethernet-based communication
or add e-mailing capabilities with built-in LabVIEW SMTP e-mail VIs.
Connect to external serial devices using one of the four RS232 ports.
For connectivity to Modbus PLCs or RTU controllers, use the LabVIEW
Modbus Library to easily communicate between a touch panel computer
and a PLC through the industry-standard Modbus protocol over Ethernet
or serial.
