6.3 Touch screen driver
For operation modes "extended desktop" and "dual display clone", the Elo touch screen driver
must be installed. This can be found in the download area (Service - Material Related Downloads
- BIOS / Drivers / Updates) on the B&R homepage (
www.br-automation.com ).
6.3.1 Installation for Extended Desktop
• Executing setup
• The Automation Panel 900 unit's touch screen is connected with the APC620 serially, so
the serial touch screen drivers must be installed.
• The driver's auto-detect function sends data packets to every existing serial interface. It
then returns a list of all the ports on which an Elo touch screen is connected. The panel
locking time must be set to 0 ms (auto-detect only found 1 touch screen)
Information:
The touch screen drivers are based on the Windows mouse system. That means that
either a mouse (USB or PS/2) must have been connected during the Windows
installation or the mouse drivers must be installed additionally (e.g. automatically
installed when later connecting a USB mouse). The BIOS function "PS/2 Mouse"
must be set to "Enabled" when using a PS/2 mouse. This is located on the BIOS
setup page "Advanced" - "Miscellaneous" (the default setting is "Disabled").
Information:
• Activate COM C and COM D in BIOS.
• During installation the panel locking time must be set to 0 ms ("Auto detect" of the driver
could only recognize 1 touch screen).
