The serial touchscreen interface connection to the host is made through
an RS-232 DE-9 (female) D-shell connector located on the side panel.
The optional touchscreen provides a high-resolution touch input system.
Driver software included with the package allows the touchscreen to
function with many popular DOS and Windows
® -based industrial
applications as a pointing device (mouse).
Note:
Refer to Appendix C: Touchscreen Serial Interface on page
46 for additional details on the installation and operation of
the touchscreen.
To connect the touchscreen:
1. For units with the touchscreen option, make sure you have one of the
optional serial cables.
2. Connect one end of the touchscreen serial cable to the T/S port
connector on the side of the monitor.
3. Connect the other end to any communications port on the host
computer.
4. Tighten the captive screws on the cable connector to secure it.
Allen-Bradley monitors can be ordered with either AC or DC power
option.
Connecting AC Power
The 6185-C and 6185-B monitors with an AC power option require a
single-phase power supply providing 85 to 264V AC at 47 to 70 Hz.
Power must be available at a grounded three-pin outlet located nearby.
Whenever possible, connect the monitor to the same AC source that
supplies the computer.
To connect AC power to the monitor:
1. Turn off the main switch or breaker.
2. Use the ground terminal of the monitor to establish a chassis-to-earth
ground connection. The ground terminal is an M5 screw. Secure one
end of a ground strap to the ground terminal. Connect the other end
of the ground strap to a good earth ground.
