Hello all,

Can anyone guide me towards a micro PC with a touch screen display? Preferably I'm looking for an Embedded NT or a CE box with ethernet
capabilities. Max size I'm looking at is between 4-6" in size. I've got a VB app that can be customized for either platform and will be used in a new injection mold machine. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.

Rick Emmerson.

 

try contact Advantech about their HMI 640 /pocket Genesis www.advantech.com

 

Hi Rick Emmerson,

Horner Electric http://www.heapg.com has recently developed a special product called OCS (Operator Control System). Its all in one type product
specially suitable for machine manufacturors.
It has a PLC, four I/O modules (mix-n-match) and the operator interface. You can also use number of them in a network system, I don't remember exactly but probably upto 63 or 64 terminals.

Check it out.

Mr. Emmerson,

Consider the Embedded Automation EA-2000 at
http://www.embeddedautomation.com/products/ea2000din.htm. It is a little bigger than what you requested (7.7" color screen), but it runs embedded NT or CE on a Pentium 200MHz processor.

Mr. Emmerson,

You wrote asking about a touch screen micro PC.

Have you heard of the FC2000? The guys at total control products have a small 6" Windows CE unit that can use VB and C++ apps provided you develop
them for the CE enviornment (obviously). they give you a WIN CE development package with some sample libraries right from the start, so you don't have to worry about developing in a new enviornment. I've been looking seriously at the FactoryClient 2000 for our company. Looks good so far.
check them out:

Its definately worth a look.

Good Luck!
