  • Page 8: Introduction

    By using the BA72A you are provided with a terminal-orientated, ergonomi- cal and customer-friendly cashier’s workplace. The BA72A is the enhanced version of the BA72. It is equipped with the PanelLink technology with the new highlights: cable distance support up to 5m, flexible All-in-One cable for Touch Screen, loudspeaker and supply volt- age.
  • Page 9: Advantages At A Glance

    The low-energy, flickerfree and radiation-free colour monitor of the BA72A is an Active-Matrix-Display in TFT-technology (Thin Film Transistor). Therefore, it is especially suited for multimedia applications as it offers brilliant colour representation, an excellent contrast ratio and a high dis- play speed.
  • Page 10: Unpacking And Checking The Delivery Unit

    If damage has occurred during shipping or if the package contents do not match the delivery note, immediately inform your Wincor Nixdorf sales outlet. Transport the device only in its original packaging (to protect it against im- pact and shock).
  • Page 11: Ba72A Components

    BA72A Components Screen Module The screen module represents the main unit of the BA72A. It comprises of a TFT-LCD colour screen, the TFT-interface and an inverter that genera- tes the voltage for backlighting the screen. As an option the screens are available with Touch Screen including a loudspeaker.

    Touch Screen Touching the touch glass has the same effect as clicking the left mouse button. You only need to apply a little pressure with the fingertip. In this ca- pacitive process only fingertip contact is recognized. The screen does not react in any way if touched, for example, with a pencil or a glove.
  • Page 18: Com Board For Touch Screen

    COM Board COM Board for Touch Screen COM Board The COM Board is an additional board for the TFT-controller-A with an ISA bus interface that has 2 or 4 COM interfaces (COM5, 6, 7, 8). COM5 and COM6 are linked to the BA72 controller via a plug connector. COM5 is a reduced COM interface for RxD and TxD signals and is intended for the use of the (optional) touch function.

    COM Board Assignment of COM port addresses and interrupts (installation details) Ensure that there is no conflict of hardware port addresses or interrupt re- quests (IRQs) used by your system and the AT COM Board! Essentially the AT COM Board has been designed to be configurable for a non-shared IRQ9, IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ12, or IRQ15 for COM5 and a sha- red IRQ9, IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ12, or IRQ15 for COM6,7,8 and even COM5.

  • Page 28: Resistive Touch Screen (Option)

    Resistive Touch Screen (Option) General The resistive TFT Touch Screen is constructed of a hard-coated polyester topsheet that is overlaid on a conductively-coated glass layer. Voltage is applied to the topsheet. As the user touches the screen, the topsheet com- presses into contact with the glass layer, and current flows to the four cor- ners in proportion to the distance from the edge.
