Phoenix Contact TP 3000 series touch panels

The TP 3000 series touch panels can be used with a wide range of fieldbuses. Profibus, MPI, CANopen or serial interfaces are optionally available. There is also a connection for additional ethernet-based drivers. All devices are factory equipped with one ethernet and two USB interfaces.

The Xscale PXA320 platform with 806 MHz processor and 128 MB SDRAM can be used across the board with all display sizes, extending from 14.48 cm (5.7″) up to 30.73 cm (12.1″). Touch panels up to and including the 7″ screens have backlit LED displays. The LED backlighting can be dimmed or shut off with the Visu+ visualisation software (from version 2.2x), saving energy and extending the panel’s lifetime. It is also possible to directly control the buzzer that is integrated in the panels, so that events such as alarms are then acoustically signalled.

These panels are used in medium-sized machines where standard HMI functionality is required - and can be used in almost any application in which dust protection and waterproofing to IP65 standards is required.
