The ePro PS family of products is configured with the Canvas editing software which supports a suite of graphical templates called controls for replacing hardwired panel devices such as pushbuttons, indicator lights, bars, readouts, message displays, etc. In addition to a PanelMate ePro PS display unit, the package comes with an accessory kit that includes the following: one panel mounting hardware kit, one 3-pin power connector, one PanelMate ePro PS support CD, and three spare jumpers used to configure serial ports. The 7685T-12 requires 24V DC power at 1.5 A. Use of #18 AWG (0.82 mm2) copper wire is recommended for the power and the ground lead connections. The display is a resistive touchscreen that supports 16 million colors. The supported resolution is SVGA (800 x 600) and the brightness of the display is 450 nits. The backlight is replaceable and has a typical life of 50,000 hours. It can auto-dim. The 7685T-12’s system memory includes 512MB of DDR2 RAM with 1GB of internal CompactFlash memory (C and D drive). A CompactFlash slot is available in the unit. The 7685T-12 must be powered off before the CompactFlash memory card is removed or inserted (hot-swapping is not supported). Failure to do so may damage the CompactFlash memory card and/or processor board. The 7685T-12 PanelMate ePro PS uses Windows XPE, which is a subset of Windows XP Professional. The XPE system enables the PanelMate ePro PS unit’s operating system (OS) to be customized by eliminating unneeded operating system components. The result is a smaller, more streamlined, and more efficient machine. PCMCIA slots which support up to 2 Type II cards or 1 Type III card are available. Before PCMCIA cards are hot-swapped, make sure that the card supports hot-swapping.
