  • Page 41: Touch Panel Data Input

    Touch Panel Commands Touch Panel Data Input Two connection methods are available for sending touch panel data from the FP to the host: an RS-232C connection and a PS/2 mouse compatible connection. This section includes instructions for creating both. RS-232C connection (When SW1-1 is OFF) When the touch panel is used during the RS-232C (SIO) connection mode, coordinate output data sent from the FP to the host is not exactly equal to the coordinates used on the display device.
  • Page 42 Touch Panel Commands (2) Data Format All data is in 8-bit ASCII format, and is structured in the following 11 byte strings. Header: 1 byte (T = touched; R = released) X coordinate: 4 bytes (0000 ~ 1023) Separator: 1 byte (,) Y coordinate: 4 bytes (0000 ~ 1023) Termination code:...
  • Page 43 Touch Panel Commands Connecting a PS/2 mouse (When SW1-1 switch is ON) When the FP's PS/2 mouse connection mode is selected and the User's OS supports the PS/2 mouse, touch panel data is converted to PS/2 mouse data, and output through the MOUSE/PC connector. In this case, the I/F program that converts the coordinates output from the FP to the host (PLC) into the display device coordinates is not necessary.
  • Page 44 Touch Panel Commands Conditions and restrictions : Connecting a PS/2 mouse The following conditions and restrictions apply when a PS/2 type mouse is used with the FP770T. Due to the effect of the combination of the type of PC, mouse and OS used, the FP-770T's touch panel may not operate correctly. (1) If the mouse used with the FP-770T is fully compliant with all PS/2 mouse standards there should be no usage problems, however, all commercially available PS/2 mouse products may not be fully compliant.
