PC integrates LCD and touch panel

An Audon Electronics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 7, 2007

The Cutouch CT1721 allows users to quickly develop HMI devices for industrial machines, factory temperature controllers, packing machines, robots and embedded control.

Audon Electronics now stocks the Cutouch CT1721, an integrated touch panel, 5.6-inch graphic LCD and programmable embedded computer.

The Cutouch CT1721 provides a fast processing speed, 82 digital I/O ports, eight channels of 10bit A/D, 6 x 16bit PWM outputs, and 80Kbyte of Flash Program memory.

It allows users to quickly develop HMI devices for industrial machines, factory temperature controllers, packing machines, robots and embedded control.

Using the free Cubloc-Studio Software, the Cutouch CT1721 can be programmed in both Basic and/or Ladder Logic, allowing fast control, complex maths, dynamic touch-screen graphics and fast data-communication protocols to be easily implemented.

Ladder Logic offers real-time sequential processing and Basic supplies the number-crunching power.

Both the real-time processing powers of a Modbus PLC and the 32bit floating-point maths, graphic capabilities, and communication powers of Basic are now available in one product.

The free CuCanvas software can be used to draw graphics such as boxes, circles, and menu buttons with keypads.

These simple graphics can be made to animate, for example to show the rise and fall of liquid in a tank.

For more complex graphics PixelStudio software allows the user to create up to 200 custom images.

The Cutouch CT1721 has 82 digital I/O ports with a mix of 32 opto-isolated inputs, 32 transistor outputs and 17 5V TTL I/O.

A range of expansion modules are available, giving mains relay outputs, motor control, Compact Flash data memory storage and wireless Bluetooth interfaces.

Using an optional XPORT internet module, TCP or UDP packets can be monitored through the internet from anywhere, allowing users to update or provide customer service for products located anywhere in the world.

The Cutouch CT1721 has 80Kbyte Flash memory for Basic and Ladder programs, 28Kbyte for data memory, a real-time clock, and one of the two RS232 serial ports can be used for download and debug.

It has eight channels of 10bit analgue input and six channels of 16bit pulse width modulated output.
