- Reduce application development costs and time using one single unified development platform for all your visualization applications
- Retain your engineering investments while gaining standardization throughout your organization
- Experience greater application development flexibility using an open HMI instead of functionally weak proprietary closed hardware and software products
- Improve Operator HMI familiarity and accuracy and lower operator training costs using only one common and standardized user friendly interface
- Decrease software and hardware administration and management costs and effort through standardization
- Partner your business with a single source supplier for hardware, software, and support. Capitalize on Wonderware’s award winning Support team
- Run any available InTouch HMI language including English, German, French, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese
- Ready to use out of the box with InTouch Compact software and device connectivity bundled with the panel
Robust Hardware
The Wonderware Touch Panel Computers have passed stringent worldwide certification tests. These computers are designed for harsh industrial environments yet retain an open, modular structure for flexibility and versatility. Touch Panel Computers are available with a stainless steel bezel and delivered with a pre-installed Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system.
Wonderware offers the option for a solid state drive running XP Professional operating system. The solid state drive provides the functionality of a hard disk with no moving parts; thus increasing reliability. It is an ideal, rugged storage solution for mission-critical applications that must operate under harsh environmental conditions.
To optimize performance, Wonderware Touch Panel Computers have been enhanced with more memory and more processing speed than comparable proprietary units on the market today. The Wonderware Touch Panel Computers feature a brilliant screen, excellent performance and outstanding flexibility. Plus, the modular system enables fast expansion and maintenance by allowing a quick connect and disconnect of the display from the computer.
Applications
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) will find that the powerful Wonderware Touch Panel Computers offer their customers more features and functions than closed, proprietary 'dumb' terminals at a comparable price. The easy-to-use InTouch development environment means that OEMs will be able to quickly create applications for machine control and will have extensive troubleshooting tools to aid them in design, testing and startup scenarios.
Wonderware Touch Panel Computers also empower industrial personnel who already use InTouch software to banish the headaches and frustration associated with trying to integrate disparate machine-control and supervisory systems - because both systems can now run the same software. Replacing an existing equipment control system with a Wonderware Touch Panel Computer eliminates the need for training on different types of displays and software administration and management tools.
ArchestrA Ready
Wonderware Touch Panel Computers are ArchestrA Ready, which means that data within the Touch Panel Computer can plug into applications that have been created with Invensys' ArchestrA technology. Invensys' ArchestrA industrial automation and information software architecture was designed from the outset to extend the life of legacy systems by leveraging the latest software technologies. Offerings built upon this architecture empower decision-makers to achieve their business objectives without abandoning prior investments in automation systems, production processes or intellectual property.
