Another low noise video interface is the Differential BNC Input
connectors option which accepts red, green and blue video signals (RS–
343 analog signaling) and a separate composite sync signal from the
video source. BNC to BNC cable options are available.

Touchscreen Option

The touchscreen option (6158-xxAxxxxxx) provides an anti-glare
touchscreen system. A software driver provided with the touchscreen
option allows you to use the touchscreen as a pointing device with many
popular DOS and Windows–based industrial applications. Refer to the
touchscreen documentation for information on installing and using the
touchscreen.

Touchscreen Serial Cable

For units configured with the touchscreen option, a touchscreen serial
cable is required. A suitable cable can be obtained from your Rockwell
Automation sales representative.

The cable provides a communication channel between the touchscreen
controller, which is mounted inside the monitor, and an RS-232-C serial
port on the host computer. The touch controller is provided with power
from the monitor’s power supply. Accordingly, no external touch power
connections are necessary.

The touch controller is set up to detect the baud rate used by the host. For
additional information on controller configurations, please refer to the
documentation provided with the touch system.
