Installation
21 NXP-TPI/4 NetLinx Touch Panel Interface
8.
Connect the terminal end of either the Ethernet (to an Ethernet Hub) or ICSNet (to the powered
NetLinx Master being used for communication) cables to their respective locations.
9. Connect the incoming PSN power connector to the 12 VDC power connector on the rear of the unit.
DO NOT CONNECT POWER UNTIL THE UNIT IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED .
Using the TP4-RGB card for Pass-Thru Control
To enable a touch response on a panel page being routed through a computer; a pass-thru enabling must
be done. Pass-thru control allows the TPI/4 to act as a control bridge between a computer and a monitor
(
typically with no touch features such as a CRT computer monitor ). The pass-thru is enabled on the
TP4-RGB card.
The two PS/2 and two USB connectors on the rear of the TPI/4 are used to provide signals from a
Keyboard and/or Mouse (
you are no longer limited to one mouse and one keyboard. You can use
USB hubs and multiple mice/keyboards in any configuration ). The Type-B USB connection on the
TP4-RGB card is used for communication between the TPI/4 and the computer.
Using a CRT (Non-Touch Panel) for Mouse Pass-Thru Control
Computer control can be done by routing the Mouse control through the TPI/4 and displaying the results
on a CRT or non-touch enabled panel. In this scenario, the TPI/4 is virtually nonexistent as is akin to
connecting the monitor and mouse directly to the rear of the computer.
The computer views the TPI/4 and RGB card combo as an adapter connected to a USB mouse device.
This method only allows for mouse control of the computer (as seen in FIG. 13).
1.
Discharge any acquired static electricity by touching a grounded metal object or by touching the
grounded bolt attached to the rear of TPI/4 unit
2.
Disconnect any incoming power connector from the rear of the TPI/4.
3.
Connect either a PS/2 or USB mouse to the rear of the TPI/4 unit (as seen in FIG. 13).
Communication to the TPI/4 is always done thru the NetLinx Master and never
directly to the TPI/4.
Pass-thru must be enabled to control devices through the RGB card when using
control devices that are connected to either the PS/2 and USB connectors on the rear
of the TPI/4 unit.
Refer to the commands in the ^MPS
section on page 122 for the Mouse Pass-thru
command enabling pass-thru on the RGB card.
The PS/2 or USB mouse must be connected before the initial power-up cycle. If
connected after the unit is powered, the TPI/4 must then have power cycled so that it
can detect the newly connected mouse. This detection is most useful when using a
CRT monitor.
