12.1.18 Touch Panel
Overview
A pen-driven input device/touch panel, manufactured by Fujitsu
Limited, can be connected to the display unit of the FANUC Series 15i
(hereafter called FS15i). This configuration enables the keys displayed
on the touch panel to be used to manipulate soft key buttons that
usually appear in the lower half of the display unit.
This configuration requires optional reader/punch interface B as well
as the touch panel option.
Hardware details
- Connection
The touch panel controller is connected to the RS-232C serial port
(JD36A) for the display panel board on the FS15i.
- Characteristics
This description is a summary of the hardware specifications. Users
can safely ignore this description when using the touch panel.
When you press a point on the touch panel, its coordinate data is sent to
the FS15i from the touch panel controller via the RS-232C interface.
The specification is as follows:
1 Coordinate system
(1) Initial coordinate system
The FS15i system automatically performs tentative
compensation before formal compensation. So, any
displacement can be kept small even if formal compensation
is not performed.
(2) Post-compensation coordinate system
The compensation processing (described later) enables
coordinate system tuning and linearity compensation.
Compensation data is held in nonvolatile memory.
2 Sampling period
Touch panel operations are sampled at 32 ms intervals.
3 Position precision
The 9-point compensation described later assures a position
precision of 2.5 mm.
Details
- Soft key control
Press the provided pen against the rectangular representing a soft key
on the screen. The soft key display switches to a representation of a
pressed key. The same operation as that executed when the
corresponding soft key is actually clicked is performed.
