Touchscreen

Mark Buskell · Jan 24, 2004

Is there a distance that you can remote mount a industrial touchscreen monitor from the desktop computer. I have used a splitter before for mounting the monitor remotely (100 meters), but what about the touchscreen part of it. I know the touchscreen acts like a mouse so I am asking do they make a splitter that supports both the monitor and a touchscreen.

The touchscreen usually coomunicates through a serial COM port. That's RS232, and limited to 50 feet. For longer distances, you could convert the signal to RS485.

Mark,

You might want to look here:

I have two touch screens and PC's linked up using this system and can testify to it's 100% reliability now for almost 3 years. The drawback: It can be a little pricey.

You could take a look at those KVM extenders over CAT5 cable.
Or if you just want to extend the RS232 signals look at something like http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1871

I have also used extenders successfully, for the life of me I can not remember the brand name and I dont work in that plant.

I have also used a wireless system once, that was rougly a 1000' feet away, successfully.

This is a good source for extender products: http://www.kvm-switches-online.com/kvm-extenders.html

First, try cleaning it thoroughly. I don't know if that is an LED touch array, resistive, or capacitive, but if it's LED, clean the edges.

Then try recalibrating, see here.

If that fails, just replace it.

This is LCD backligt display monocrohm touch screen and its Pen is shifted which needs to calibrate, pls suggest how we do it.

thanks & regards,

My word... a 2004 thread re-animated. That's got to be one of the oldest I've seen brought back to life.

I seem to remember another thread posted by Moses around the same time asking for help fitting a brand new S5 PLC to control the rudders on his ark... ;-)

I don't know what's funnier, the Zombie thread alert, or Moses and the Ark.

i would think that Noah would have used a Unitronics - being more local.

You can recalibrate the screen by rebooting it and then choosing 'control panel' from the menu that pops up (you'll need to be quick to stop it booting into the project).

Somewhere in there will be the recalibrate option. It might be under "OP" or similar if memory serves me.

problem is solved now..... there was a problem of touch screen calibration (pen calibration). In e410 HMI there is one slector switch at right hand side of HMI in back.... will keep it at point no.2 to touch calibration.

thanks
