Overview
National Instruments TPC-2106 and TPC-2106T touch panel computers
(TPCs) provide an industrial touch panel display with a 416 MHz XScale
processor, rugged solid-state hard drives, and an embedded Windows CE
operating system. TPC-2106/T products run Windows CE OS preloaded in
the onboard 64 MB solid-state (flash) memory. The systems offer one
Ethernet, two USB 1.1 ports, and three serial ports for connectivity.
The TPC-2106 and TPC-2106T both work with the NI LabVIEW Touch
Panel Module and appear as targets in the LabVIEW 8.5 Project. The
two devices are binary compatible so you can exchange code easily
between them without recompiling the executable. Add a human
machine interface (HMI) to your NI programmable automation controller
(PAC) using the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module to deploy LabVIEW to an
embedded Windows CE HMI.
shock, vibration, and temperature ratings; and meet global safety
standards and agency certifications.
HMI Development with the LabVIEW Touch
Panel Module
The LabVIEW Touch Panel Module is an extension of the LabVIEW
graphical development environment, which you can use to quickly
create, build, and deploy HMIs. With the LabVIEW 8.5 Touch Panel
Module, simply select your TPC target, choose a template for
development, and deploy over Ethernet using the run button.
Compact Design
A TPC-2106/T features a small, rugged compact design that is wellsuited for applications where space is limited. The 5.6 or 5.7 in. color
display with touch screen includes antiglare NEMA4/IP65 glass. Both
TPCs offer the same physical dimensions when mounted; feature high

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.
Communication Options between TPCs
and PACs
A TPC-2106/T supports a wide range of communication options to
exchange variables with PACs and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

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.
Typical Applications
HMI for PAC-Based Control Systems
with NI Compact FieldPoint
A TPC-2106/T provides an operator interface for all NI PACs,
including Compact FieldPoint, CompactRIO, real-time PXI, and
Compact Vision System.
HMI for PAC-Based Machine Control Systems
with NI CompactRIO
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
HMI Operator Interface for PAC-Based Control
Systems with Compact FieldPoint for Real-Time
Controller or Distributed I/O
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.
