1 General Information This chapter includes general information about the TPC-2012 Human Machine Interface (HMI). Introduction The TPC-2012 touch panel computer, a state-of-the-art HMI based on an x86 platform, includes these key features: • Fanless—Because the system uses a low-power processor, it does not need fans, which often are unreliable and cause dust to circulate inside the equipment. • Bright display—The TFT LCD features a 12.1 in. display that meets industrial demands for clear interfaces.

C Watchdog Timer Programming This appendix explains the TPC-2012 watchdog timer programming. Overview You can use the TPC-2012 watchdog timer to monitor system software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function after the programmed period. This appendix describes how to program the watchdog timer operation. The watchdog timer is built into the W83627HF I/O controller. It includes the following programmable functions: • You can enable and disable the timer via programming.

Watchdog Timer Programming on WinCE D Windows CE includes a watchdog timer for the TPC-2012. You can access the timer through the WIN32 API. The TPC-2012 includes a WDT driver, WDT1:, for enabling/disabling the watchdog timer. You must open this driver before using the resources, and then use the DeviceIOControl function to enable/disable the watchdog timer. This appendix describes DeviceIOControl and it parameters. It also includes a programming example.
Appendix D Watchdog Timer Programming on WinCE can use these control codes with DeviceIoControl to perform driver-specific functions. • lpInBuffer (in) Long pointer to a buffer that contains the data required to perform the operation. This parameter can be NULL if the dwIoControlCode parameter specifies an operation that does not require input data. • nInBufferSize (in) Size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by lpInBuffer.
Appendix D Watchdog Timer Programming on WinCE How to Use the Control Codes There are six control codes for the WDT driver operation codes. IOCTL _WDT_ENABLE Enables the application watchdog timer. By default, if the watchdog timer is enabled, the WDT driver automatically triggers itself after the specified period, and your application does not need to trigger the watchdog timer.
Appendix D Watchdog Timer Programming on WinCE • lpOutBuffer: The DWORD points to your watchdog time setting. The watchdog time settings are: • Setting Time 0 2s 1 (default) 5 s (default) 2 10 s 3 15 s 4 30 s 5 45 s 6 60 s nOutBufferSize: unused IOCTL_WDT_SETTIMEOUT Sets the watchdog time setting. • TPC-2012 User Manual lpInBuffer: The DWORD points to your watchdog time setting.
Appendix D Watchdog Timer Programming on WinCE IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT If you want your application to trigger the watchdog, use IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT to notify the watchdog driver timer (WDT). Otherwise, the WDT triggers itself automatically.

E Accessory Kit Assembly Procedure This appendix explains how to connect to a CD-ROM via the CompactFlash slot. CompactFlash to IDE Transfer Kit Assembly Follow these steps to connect to a CD-ROM via the CompactFlash slot: 1. Connect the IDE cable to the adapter board. 2. Insert the adapter board into the CompactFlash slot. 3. Connect the CD-ROM to the IDE cable. 4. Connect the external power line to the CD-ROM.
Touchscreen Configuration F This appendix explains how to configure the TPC-2012 touchscreen using the PenMount Control Panel. Touchscreen Calibration To calibrate the TPC-2012, go to Start»Control Panel»Stylus, which displays the Stylus Properties screen. You can set the double-tap sensitivity in the Double-Tap tab. To recalibrate the stylus, use the Calibration tab. Press the Recalibrate button, then press and briefly hold the stylus on the center of each target as it appears on the screen.
G Fuse Replacement Caution Do not replace the fuse unless it is damaged. Do not replace the fuse with a differently rated fuse. For more information, see the fuse specifications in Appendix A, Specifications. Follow these steps to replace the fuse: 1. Remove the fuse cover. 2. Replace the damaged fuse with a new one. 3. Place the fuse cover back into position.
