It offers a 500 MHz AMD GX3 processor and 512 MB SDRAM, and is shipped with a 4 GB CompactFlash storage device with Windows XP Embedded. The TPC-2512 is certified to work with the NI LabVIEW Touch Panel Module. For data acquisition systems, the TPC-2512 includes NI-DAQmx components for USB data acquisition devices. detect new TPC-2512 devices over Ethernet and then update IP settings and add the device to your project (see Figure 1). LabVIEW offers a single HMI and logic development environment for creating user interfaces and embedded programs for real-time hardware using the LabVIEW Real-Time Module. Touch Panel Computer Hardware Support The TPC-2512 comes with NI-DAQmx 8.7.2 installed for out-of-the-box connectivity to NI CompactDAQ and all NI USB DAQ devices compatible with NI-DAQmx. Support for shared variables as both a host and client plus Modbus TCP/IP or standard TCP/IP makes the TPC-2512 an ideal human machine interface (HMI) for NI programmable automation controllers (PACs) including CompactRIO, NI Single-Board RIO, Compact FieldPoint, and PXI real-time controllers. It provides a wide range of connectivity options including the following: • 10/100BASE-T Ethernet for connectivity to NI PACs • Two Hi-Speed USB ports for NI CompactDAQ and USB DAQ • Four serial ports (three RS232 and one RS232/485) Figure 1.

TPC-2512 Dimensions (mm) Typical System Configurations With the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, you have several options for communication between the TPC-2512, NI USB DAQ devices, NI PACs, and third-party programmable logic controllers (PLCs) including: • NI-DAQmx • Shared variables over Ethernet • Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus ASCII over Ethernet or serial • Native LabVIEW TCP/IP, UDP, or SMTP With this wide range of communication options, you can select the best communication 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 powerful user interface. For more advanced programming requirements, use the native LabVIEW TCP/IP or UDP VIs to develop Ethernet-based communication or add e-mailing capabilities with built-in LabVIEW SMTP e-mail VIs. For connectivity to Modbus PLCs or RTU controllers, use the LabVIEW Modbus Library to easily communicate between a TPC and a PLC through the industry-standard Modbus protocol over Ethernet or serial.
