2. Overview / Introduction

2.2 Touchpoint Pro Controller

Each Touchpoint Pro system has one Controller, which forms the heart of the system. It contains the Control
Module and the User Interface, and handles the communication for the system.
The Touchpoint Pro Controller can be housed in any of the standard Touchpoint Pro Enclosures or in a
19" rack, where I/O modules, power supplies and the Communication / Power Rail can be included. The
Controller can also be supplied as a front panel for mounting into a custom system.
Within the Controller, the Control Module contains two major components – the Control Centre Board
and the Communication Board. The Control Centre Board (CCB) deals with all functions related to system
operation, as well as the LED indicators and buttons on the front panel, and the master system state relays.
An optional redundant CCB is available. The Communication Board (COB) handles the rest of the user
interfaces – touchscreen, bus output and other external interfaces such as the USB and Ethernet ports.
The Communication Board is completely independent from the Safety Function of the system.
2.3 Remote Touchpoint Pro unit
Each Touchpoint Pro system can contain multiple Remote Touchpoint Pro units. The Remote units contain
only I/O modules and the Communication / Power Rail, plus power supplies if desired.
Remote units can be located up to 1 km (cable length) from the Touchpoint Pro Controller, with a maximum
round trip of 3 km (cable length) for the complete system. The only connection required between the
Controller and Remote units is the network cable.
The Remote Touchpoint Pro unit can be housed in any of the standard Touchpoint Pro Enclosures, a 19" rack, or
a suitable third party enclosure.
