1.1 Introduction
Advantech's FPM-3150TVE Series is a 15" color TFT LCD flat panel
monitor built specifically for industrial applications. With the optional
touchscreen, the FPM-3150TVE Series is an excellent and user-friendly
system control interface.
In addition to its usual application as an LCD panel monitor, the FPM-
3150TVE comes standard with direct VGA control signal input (same
as the FPM-3150TV), making it compatible with Industrial PCs and
Workstations. With the FPM-3150TVE, Advantech is taking a more
aggressive initiative to penetrate the industrial HMI market. Its OSD
(On Screen Display) function allows you to adjust the display factors
and turn the backlight on and off for the front view, functions which
become critical as more and more industrial HMI users become aware
of the benefits of flat panel monitors. The whole chassis is of stainless
steel, and the front panel is of aluminum with NEMA4/IP65 compli-
ance.
The FPM-3150TVE provides a touch screen version (FPM-3150TVE-T)
for option. With an 8-wire resistive type touchscreen, the monitor can
be immediately transformed into a remote control system. For remote
control application, optional transmission cables are available for 5m,
10m, 20m, 30m and 50m. The Advantech FPM-3150TV is the ultimate
HMI solution for your industrial application.
