6181P-17A3HW71DC

The Allen-Bradley 6181P-17A3HW71DC VersaView 1700P terminal has a PCAP touchscreen input type and a 17 in. color display. This module features 1 parallel port, 2 serial ports, and 2 ethernet ports for communication. It has an input power of 18-32V DC, 100 GB of memory, and a panel-mounting option. The type of touchscreen (multi-touch PCAP touchscreen) featured in this terminal has already been calibrated at the factory, so the users do not need to re-calibrate it. The 6181P-17A3HW71DC’s touchscreen glass has been made with an anti-reflective coating. This coating adds to the durability of the touchscreen and makes it visually appealing, making it ideal for industrial applications.

The 6181P-17A3HW71DC terminal contains has been integrated with a hardware and a watchdog timer. These utilities need to be installed and enabled by the users. The hardware monitor, which is an integrated utility, runs on the OS. It has a couple of functions, including viewing the system fan speed if a fan is present and it also monitors the computer temperature. This utility is similar to a SpeedFan feature.

The hardware monitor can be adjusted by the users since it has an adjustable temperature threshold. When the computer has reached the selected temperature threshold, this action will be indicated by the pop-up message on the display once the temperature threshold has been selected and the service is set to run. No logs will be created because of the pop-up. The watchdog timer of the 6181P-17A3HW71DC, on the other hand, watches the system and runs on the OS. The watchdog timer times out while the system reboots automatically if there is a hardware malfunction or program error.
