Product Description
Before you begin using your OmniClient system, you should take a few minutes to learn about the
various ports, bays, connectors and indicators that are part of your OmniClient system.
The OmniClient is a Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) system designed for demanding industrial
applications. The OmniClient integrates a workstation system with an integrated touch screen
display. The system is designed to be mounted in the user’s application by either of the following
methods:
 Installation in an instrument panel or other cabinets (preferred mounting method)
 Installation by a heavy duty VESA® 100 compliant mounting system
All versions are suitable for installation in an instrument panel or other cabinet.
OmniClient systems must be mounted in an instrument panel or other cabinets
using the corresponding supplied mounting clamps.
Installation using the VESA® 100 mounting system must be properly designed to
support the heavy load of the OmniClient system.
The OmniClient system is very flexible and can be customized to meet the requirements of many
demanding applications. The rugged design offers excellent mechanical stability suitable for
operation in harsh industrial environments.
Two components comprise an OmniClient system: The touch monitor and computer base. The
touch monitor base includes a display and touch screen. The computer base provides the
computer board and power supply for the system. The connection between these two
components is standardized and can be swapped between various touch monitor bases and
computer bases of different sizes and types. This provides a very adaptable framework to
configure a system that meets the requirements of many different applications.
The following sections detail each of these components and their function in the OmniClient
system.
