Congratulations on your purchase of a QuickPanel View. The QuickPanel View
is available in different configurations to suit your requirements, either as a full-
featured HMI, or as a combination of HMI and controller for local and distributed
control applications. Equally adept in a networked environment or as a stand-
alone unit, the QuickPanel View is the ideal solution for factory floor HMI and
control.
Powered by Microsoft Windows CE.NET , today's embedded operating
TM
system of choice, the QuickPanel View provides a fast track for application
program development. The commonality with other versions of Windows
simplifies porting your existing program code. Another benefit of Windows CE is
the familiarity of the user interface, shortening the learning curve for operators
and developers alike. The availability of third-party application software makes
this operating system even more attractive.
The 6" QuickPanel View is an all-in-one microcomputer designed for maximum
flexibility. The design, based on an advanced Intel microprocessor, brings
®
together a high-resolution operator interface with a variety of I/O options. With
many standard ports and expansion busses from which to choose, you can
connect to most industrial equipment.
The QuickPanel View is equipped with several memory types to satisfy even
the most demanding applications. A 16 MB section of DRAM is split between
the operating system, an object store, and application memory. A 16 MB
section of non-volatile FLASH memory, functioning as a virtual hard drive, is
divided between the operating system and persistent storage for application
programs. The many features of the QuickPanel View make it an obvious
choice for a world of applications. Your smart choice will provide reliable
operation for years to come.
