HMI Development with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module
The LabVIEW Touch Panel Module is an extension of the LabVIEW graphical development environment, which you can use to quickly create, build, and deploy HMIs. With the LabVIEW 8.5 Touch Panel Module, simply select your TPC target, choose a template for development, and deploy over Ethernet using the run button.

Overview
National Instruments TPC-2106 and TPC-2106T touch panel computers (TPCs) provide an industrial touch panel display with a 416 MHz XScale processor, rugged solid-state hard drives, and an embedded Windows CE operating system. TPC-2106/T products run Windows CE OS preloaded in the onboard 64 MB solid-state (flash) memory. The systems offer one Ethernet, two USB 1.1 ports, and three serial ports for connectivity. The TPC-2106 and TPC-2106T both work with the NI LabVIEW Touch Panel Module and appear as targets in the LabVIEW 8.5 Project. The two devices are binary compatible so you can exchange code easily between them without recompiling the executable. Add a human machine interface (HMI) to your NI programmable automation controller (PAC) using the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module to deploy LabVIEW to an embedded Windows CE HMI.
Compact Design
A TPC-2106/T features a small, rugged compact design that is wellsuited for applications where space is limited. The 5.6 or 5.7 in. color display with touch screen includes antiglare NEMA4/IP65 glass. Both TPCs offer the same physical dimensions when mounted; feature high

harsh environments on the factory floor, in industrial plants, and for pharmaceuticals.
Remote Display Software
A TPC-2106/T includes remote display software already installed on the TPC when it is shipped. To view the entire screen and interact through your PC with the embedded touch panel computer, simply install the free host program and connect to the hardware. From the Windows CE start menu, select the Remote Display application and enter the IP address of the host PC. With the Remote Display function, you can quickly interact with the embedded touch panel hardware using your PC keyboard, mouse, and screen.
Open Flexible Platform
A TPC-2106/T features an open, extensible architecture based on industry standards. Featuring Windows CE and standard communication buses (RS232/422/485, USB, and Ethernet), a TPC-2106/T can be quickly and easily configured to address requirements beyond traditional HMI applications. When combined with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module graphical development environment and rugged, industrial PACs, a TPC-2106/T provides a fully integrated solution for machine automation and other industrial applications.
Communication Options between TPCs and PACs
A TPC-2106/T supports a wide range of communication options to exchange variables with PACs and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

NEMA4 and IP65 Industrial Ratings
NI HMIs feature a NEMA4 and IP65 industrial-rated front panel. When these systems are panel mounted in a NEMA4 or IP65 industrial enclosure, they are capable of withstanding the ingress of dust and water jets. The NEMA4/IP65 rating makes these systems ideal for
HMI Operator Interface for PAC-Based Control Systems with Compact FieldPoint for Real-Time Controller or Distributed I/O
Featuring a compact package, solid-state design, and touch panel interface, a TPC-2106/T is ideally suited for operator interfaces for embedded control systems with all PACs including Compact FieldPoint. A TPC-2106/T functions as the local HMI for embedded real-time control applications with Compact FieldPoint, as shown in Figure 4.
