Rockwell Automation 6182 Industrial Computer for the Windows CE Operating System - Manual (Page 69)

Keypad Operation
This chapter describes how to configure and operate the front bezel
keypad on associated RAC6182 versions. This chapter’s topics include:
• Keypad operation
• Keypad layout
• Configuring the Keypad application
The 7.7 in. and 12.1 in. display versions of the RAC6182 Industrial
Computer are available with a front bezel keypad. This keypad provides
an operator interface to the RAC6182 Industrial Computer. The
RAC6182 keypad operates like an external PC keyboard, sending key
press and key release information to the Windows CE operating system.
Additional custom functionality is incorporated in the keypad design for
industrial control applications.
Note: The RAC6182 Industrial Computer supports up to 3
keyboard interfaces simultaneously – the bezel keypad, an
external PS/2 keyboard, and an external USB keyboard.
Caution must be exercised when designing multiple-
interface systems, as simultaneous operation of multiple
keyboards may cause unexpected actions.
The RAC6182 keypad consists of a numeric keypad, control keys,
navigation keys, and user-programmable function keys. The 7.7 in.
keypad and 12.1 in. keypad are the same, except the 12.1 in. version
contains 7 more function keys.
Note: 12.1 in. display version shown.
