For more information and wiring diagram, consult the NXOGTSD-6101 Operator's Guide for Touch-screen bulletin.
1.1 USB Port
This is currently only used for firmware updates, but in the future could allow burner configuration information and
event logs etc, to be copied from the touch-screen for viewing / archiving on a PC.
1.1.1 MMC Card
Older NXTSD104 used an MMC card behind a small vented cover to
update the screen firmware.
1.2 Ethernet connection
This is the normal, and recommended, method to connect to the touch-
screen. Connection is made into a socket at the side of the display
module.
Normally, an Ethernet 'patch' cable (1 to 1) will be required to connect
the touch-screen to an Ethernet switch (or router). Another patch cable
is then used to connect from the switch (or router) device to PC's.
If a direct connection between the touch-screen and a laptop/PC is required, then an Ethernet 'cross-over' cable
should be used, to eliminate the need for an Ethernet switch. A direct connection of the PC and the TSD to a router
can also be used rather than a crossover cable.
1.2.1 Modbus TC/IP
Modbus TC/IP is supported on all NXTSD104 with firmware version 2.300 onwards. Modbus communications can
be sent over the Ethernet, all Modbus registers listed in Fireye bulletin MOD-6101 are supported.
