Chapter 1 General information
1.1 Introduction
The PPC-L60T panel PC is a VIA low-power Eden processor
computer that is designed to serve as a human machine interface
(HMI) and as a multimedia computer. It is a PC based system with
6.4” color TFT LCF display and. Stainless enclosure, the
PPC-L60T is as compact and user friendly as a multi-function
computer.
For system integrators, this simple, complete, compact and high
integrated multimedia system lets you easily build a panel PC into
your application. Common industrial applications include factory
automation systems, precision machinery, and production process
control. It is also suitable for many nonindustry applications,
including car park automation and interactive Kiosk system. Our
Panel PC is a reliable, cost effective solution to your application’s
processing requirements.

activity working to improve this technology.

Chapter 2 System Setup
2.1 AQuick Tour of the Panel PC
Before you start to set up the Panel PC, take a moment to become
familiar with location and purpose of the controls, driver,
connectors and ports, which are illustrated in the figures as below.
When you place the Panel PC upright on the desktop, its front
panel appears as shown
in the Figure 2-1.
When you turn the panel PC around and look at its rear cover, you
will find the I/O section as shown in Fig.2-2. (The I/O section
includes various I/O ports, including serial ports, the Ethernet port,
USB port, VGAport and so on.)

2.2 Installation Procedures
2.2.1 Connecting the power Cord
The Panel PC can only be powered by a DC electrical outlet
12~24 voltage, Max 3.5A). Be sure to always handle the power
cord by holding the plug ends only. Please connect the male plug
of the power cord to the DC inlet of the Panel PC.
2.2.2 Connecting the keyboard or mouse.
Connect the PS/2 mouse and keyboard port on the I/O section of
the Panel PC.
2.2.3 Switch on the power
Switch on the power switch on the rear cover.
2.3 Running the BIOS setup program
Your Panel PC is likely to have been the properly set up and
configured by your dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it
necessary to use the Panel PC’s BIOS (Basic Input-Output System)
setup program to change system configuration information, such
as the current date and time or your type of the hard drive. The
setup program is stored in ready-only memory (ROM).It can
either be accessed when you turn on or reset the panel PC, By
pressing the “ Del” Key on your keyboard immediately after
running the computer on.

The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in s
special area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is
backed up by a battery so that it will not be erased when you turn
off or reset the system. Whenever you turn on the power, the
system reads the setting stored in CMOS RAM and compares
them to the equipment check conducted during the power on
self-test (POST).If an error occurs, an error message will be
displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup
program.
2.4 Installing the system software
Recent release of operating systems include setup program which
automatically load and guide you through hard disk preparation
and operating system installation. The guidelines below will help
you determine the steps necessary to install your operation system
on the Panel PC hard drive.
Note: Some distributors and system integrators may have already
pre-installed system software prior to shipment of your Panel PC.
Installed software requires an installed HDD. Software can be
loaded in the PPC-L60T using any of two methods.
2.4.1 Method 1: Use the Ethernet
You can use the Ethernet port to download software to the HDD.
2.4.2 Method 2: Use the COM
You can use the Lap Link 6 or similar transmission software.
Connect another PC to the PPC-L126 with an appropriate cable
and transmit the software to the PPC-L126.

2.5 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up
the Ethernet, VGA, audio, and touch screen functions. All drivers
are stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled “Divers and Utilities” which
can be found in your assembly box.
The various drivers and utilities in the CD-ROM disc have their
own test files which help users install drivers and understand their
functions. These files are a very useful supplement to the
information in this manual.
Note: The drivers and utilities used for the PPC-L60T Panel PCs
are subject to change without notice. IF in doubt, check
Advantech’s website or contact our application engineers for the
latest information regarding drivers and utilities.
