Color Passive-Matrix LCD Touch Panels

Introduction

3

Each touch panel uses a four-wire AXlink cable to connect to the AXCESS Control
System. The PC connects to one of the RS–232 ports on the control system. You can
also connect a Microsoft or Logitech serial mouse to the RS-232 connector on the
touch panels. Then, you can use touch control and the mouse to design custom touch
panel pages, or operate the designed functionality of the system.
