Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The TPC-1260H touch panel computer is a state-of-the-art HMI (Human
Machine Interface). This operator interface with a 12.1" display is an
x86-based platform with these key features:
• Fanless
By using a low-power processor, the system does not have to rely on
fans, which often are unreliable and causes dust to circulate inside the
equipment.
• Bright Display
The high-brightness TFT LCD display suits industrial demands for
clear interfaces.
• Powerful Communication Capability
TPC-1260H provides a powerful I/O interface for easily communicat-
ing with other devices. The I/O interface includes serial ports, a paral-
lel port, Ethernet and USB 2.0 support. TPC-1260H also supports the
expansion slot PC/104-Plus. This makes it easy to expand with the
required PC/104-Plus modules.
• Windows CE Support
In addition to the OS support of Windows 2000 and Windows XP,
Advantech offers platform support for Windows CE. The optional
Windows CE operating system specifically for the TPC-1260H is
available for Windows CE application program builders.
